I'd like to think he's being forced out in part for agreeing to a 10-year ACC commitment to poorer records for the teams because of travel.  Someone up there may have figured that out.

Does anybody think Muir had any other choice that would have been better or that he really had much to do with the choice, given the involvement of Condi?

Nope.  To say some other AD would have gotten Stanford into the B1G or the SEC, give me a break.   Or to say Stanford was somehow going to create a power conference on the West Coast, you would have to be delusional.   Stanford was lucky to get into a power 4 conference.
