Also, I have to believe that FBS-level TV $ played a role in UVA, FSU, etc. allowing others to play in their sandbox. X doesn't have any such alternate revenue stream. It's men's hoops or nothing. So, allowing UD into the BE could mean less TV $ for X's men's hoops. At least, that's their fear.

I don't know about Miami and Florida St but I believe the Virginia legislature forced VT being included in the ACC. Would not allow Virginia to go unless VT was included. I believe the Texas situation was similar.

Nobody is doing the for UD in the be.
