Let the dominos begin to tumble.

From the AP wire:

Miami accepted an invitation to join the Atlantic Coast Conference on Monday,
spurning a flurry of last-minute offers from Big East officials to remain aligned with their league, a source told The Associated Press. The high-ranking ACC official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity, said ACC commissioner John Swofford sent an e-mail to presidents of schools in the conference telling them that Miami had accepted the league's offer. The ACC extended invitations to Miami and Virginia Tech late last week.

Message Boards at Miami, VT, Lousiville, East Carolina, BC, Syracuse, Pitt, etc. are going nuts.

What is the next move in this game of roulette? BE moves on U. of L?, ACC courts another member? ND is in play? Your thoughts?
