Exactly tbd. Uconn still may land there so don’t be haters until the musical chairs stopI mean. I know we are jealous, but they didn’t lose the programs that make them elite.
They lost the coaches who made those programs elite and they added some of the worst programs in the country. There's Duke and possibly Carolina. Virginia and Miami and then a lot of bad basketball teams anchored by BC, Wake, Cal, and SMU who are some of the worst programs in the country. Stanford also blows but they aren't quite at the putrid level of those other programs.I mean. I know we are jealous, but they didn’t lose the programs that make them elite.
Either UCONN stays in the BE or however unlikely, they fight for the Big 10 or SEC. Rutgers and Maryland pulled off the improbable. No reason why UCONN shouldn’t try. The ACC is a heaping pile that’s about to implode. No need to want to get involved in thatThey lost the coaches who made those programs elite and they added some of the worst programs in the country.

It's by far the worst major basketball conference.
The ACC‘s conference ratings will go down because those schools will bring the average way, way down. Which will effect Duke’s and UNC’s SOS and seeding.I mean. I know we are jealous, but they didn’t lose the programs that make them elite.
It absolutely was made weaker, that is inarguable. But this was not a basketball decision as everyone well knows.The ACC‘s conference ratings will go down because those schools will bring the average way, way down. Which will effect Duke’s and UNC’s SOS and seeding.
Does it change the conference’s best teams? No. But the statement that the conference was just made weaker in hoops really can’t be argued.
They should. They have a proud basketball history and it's all going to be blown up.It’s almost like conferences don’t care about basketball.
The Big East tried that once before. It will never happen again with so many Catholic non-FBS schools.Duke, North Carolina, and UVA should come to the Big East. Football can e added. Write our own narrative.
Dang I hope notExactly tbd. Uconn still may land there so don’t be haters until the musical chairs stop
I hope not also. We’ll be playing Aac level competition with dregs like Smu, Bc, wake, cal,etc. Id rather stay in the big east than be in the same league with those schoolsDang I hope not
Those schools will be fine. They’re a few years away from landing in the big 3 conferences anyways.They should. They have a proud basketball history and it's all going to be blown up.
You don’t become the fourth big conference long-term by adding Cal, Stanford, and SMU lol. There’s no way that keeps Clemson, FSU etc around long term. It’s a bandaid on a cracked pipe. More small private schools that have been and will continue to be, and therefore add, subpar programs to the conference ie just more Wakes and Georgia Techs. Those three programs aren’t going to get some boost by joining the ACC, which everyone knows is going to fail. The ACC is going to become the next AAC eventually when their best schools inevitably leave. They just wanted to scoop up what they deemed to be the best remaining pieces before someone else doesThe Big East tried that once before. It will never happen again with so many Catholic non-FBS schools.
I think rumors of the ACC’s demise may be premature. It is likely that 4th major conference needs to emerge. It was widely thought that it would be the PAC-12 but they are gone. Looks like ACC or AAC are only contenders left. If the ACC thoughtfully reinvents itself, it might survive. The AAC has already been picked over.
This whole realignment game has gone stale.Either UCONN stays in the BE or however unlikely, they fight for the Big 10 or SEC. Rutgers and Maryland pulled off the improbable. No reason why UCONN shouldn’t try. The ACC is a heaping pile that’s about to implode. No need to want to get involved in that
