I guess my point is that if we want to be one of the big boy conferences this might have been a good time to show it. If ESPN and the ACC were talking about hosting their tourney at a venue the Big 10 had locked up for the next 13 years and acted as if it was going to be a done deal, do you think Delaney and the Big 10 would not issue a response?

I'd like for the Big East to tell the ACC to stick it, probably because I can't stand the ACC.
