In this whole sorry mess I feel most sorry for BC. They wanted out of the BE more than anyone. They are stuck. Too bad for them.
This was clearly a politically driven marriage, split along geographical lines.
I have followed this as much as anyone and I never saw a scenario of VT and Miami alone going to the ACC. Something else also must be afoot. ND? At this point that wouldn't surprise me.
BE was hurt more by the loss of VT than BC and Cuse combined. They shot themselves in the foot and don't know it. They just lost their 2 best football schools. All the C-USA schools in the world won't make up for it.
Do not try to figure it out. Logic obviously plays no role in these things.
