All three had a reason not to go for Syracuse, and all three had a reason to support VT. Swofford got rolled because he didn't check with the ptb in Chapel Hill. The ptb wanted VT for a myriad of reasons and Syracuse and BC be damned.

If VT was left at the alter again in 2003, then I think they end up in the Big 10. With the B10's TV strategy, VT carries the state of Virginia, plus DC for B10 purposes. VT in 2010 and 2012 could have been shoehorned into the AAU after Syracuse and Nebraska were forced out if the B10 as a block supported VT, if Delany and Mary Sue Coleman wanted that fig leaf. That's a move that hurts the ACC AND SEC.

No they wouldn't have and they aren't anywhere close to the DC market. They are on the complete other side of the state.
