BC was the first man into the lifeboats, and one which many remaining Big East schools have not forgotten. The ACC was not looking beyond three schools, and with Miami, Syracuse, ND, and Virginia Tech in the discussion, they did not want to be an odd man out.

Yes, they make a lot of money. Few care about them, however.

"The biggest problems is complacency from an administration, which is content to pocket huge athletic checks each year, hand out as little money as possible without having any major consequences for failure. The ACC is not about to dump BC, no matter how badly the Eagles' perform, primarily because as one former prominent booster suggested that BC's motto should be changed from "Ever to Excel'' to "Somebody's Got to Lose.''
