NC State AD disputes ACC expansion vote narrative

NC State AD Boo Corrigan on Friday "disputed the notion that the school flipped its vote to allow Cal, Stanford and SMU to join the league." Corrigan instead said that the final expansion proposal presented to NC State was "far different from an earlier version that the Wolfpack did not support." Corrigan: "To me, a flipping of a vote means here's what it is, you take a lot of pressure and there's a lot of pressure to change your mind. ... It was one thing and then it became something completely different. When it became something completely different, the chancellor and I had spent a lot of time talking about it, we voted for expansion." NC State, after being "opposed to expansion in early August, voted along with 11 other schools, including non-football member Notre Dame, to add the western schools." Corrigan said, "The terms were different and what it meant from a travel standpoint" (WRALSPORTSFAN.com, 9/29).
