Yeah, I was being tactful. I do that sometimes -- not often.
Marshall was in the MAC when I was at Ohio U. in the 1960's. They were the doormat of the league in those days -- as opposed to now.
They were supposed to play at Athens the week after the fatal airplane crash that killed their entire football team. We had a memorial for them at our stadium at what was supposed to be game time.
As for the ACC, I used to televise Maryland (ACC) basketball -- which was some of the best in the country. Miami would certainly boost anyone's football program.
