<p>I just realized that in phantasmagoric’s mind, all the pre-proposal hype about Stanford is what matters.</p>
<p>Of course Cornell was the known underdog before proposals were due, but the fact that you didn’t even know they partnered with Technion long before proposals were due - or even before Stanford agreed to collaborate with CCNY to shore up some of their weaknesses - reveals the level of knowledge we’ve been dealing with.</p>
<p>If it makes you feel better to keep saying that Cornell wouldn’t have won without Technion, go for it. No argument from any of us. I’m sure now that you know the facts you can see why it and a strong negotiation plan are irrelevant to your core false claim that Cornell won because SU dropped out (though will still work with CCNY in some capacity to fulfill their partnership agreement).</p>
<p>Suffice to say, game over.</p>
