Miami has yet to make an appearance, and the ACC put that game to Florida on the assumption that it was going to be FSU vs. Miami every year. That was literally the whole point of raiding the Big East and torturing the conference landscape into the current contortion it's in today. The only thing they wanted from BC was that they wouldn't be the problem child of the league. They largely haven't been.

The problem at BC appears to be one of changing administrative priorities. Most if not all of us have been through bad administrations. It's a powerless feeling. The additional danger at BC, however, is they might get caught in the Fordham rut. It's usually easier to change the leadership at a public university than a private university, and when your president is a Catholic priest you've got an additional layer of complexity. What are you going to do if you're a booster, call the Pope to complain about the offense? (Mental images like that make me wish Alabama was a Catholic school, because that would totally happen.) Point is, changing inertia at BC could be a much more delicate and slow process than it would be elsewhere. This spiral might keep going. We'll see. Approving that practice facility is the first sign of life they've shown in awhile.
