[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1212403, member: 7536"] I doubt I know anymore than anyone else, I don't think anyone really knows, that is stuff presidents keep pretty close to there vest. Last round from what I could tell everyone was in shock MD was in play, afterwards I heard a lot of justification, but all with the benefit of hindsight. FSU was the other team that voted no (in addition to MD) to the 50 mill buyout. From what I remember reading at the time, there fans thought they would have taken a B1G spot in a heartbeat. Would have liked the SEC more, but Florida, SC, & GA were supposed to be blocking, GT, FSU, Clemson. Fans here are all about UNC/Duke/NCState basketball, so they like the status quo, but I doubt there vote counts for much. But I think it is as much about Delaney playing poker, there are a handful of teams Delaney can get anytime he wants with as much money and stability as the B1G offers, I think FSU, Miami, BC, Pittsburgh, maybe VATech don't have that much loyalty and jump in a heartbeat, but Delaney will be fishing for big fish. If Delaney can even create the illusion UVA or UNC is in play, then I think it would be every man for himself. [/QUOTE]
