doesn't that sort of imply that if Virginia won, then ND is safe and the ACC might have been OK with it. There would be no need to send that out or even qualify it with "if Duke wins" if the decision had already been made to flip ND/Miami. I think it would've been even harder to argue 2 ACC teams in the 12-team field was deserved over the current shit show they have now.
Edit: I guess looking at where Virginia went, ND could have gone to the Gator bowl instead. Either way, still incriminating if true.
