I have done a 180 on this.
When it was first announced that Pitt and Syracuse were going, I thought, "man, we really should get in on that." Little panicky, little rational.
Now, there is no way I want to be going to the ACC. No way.
You know that scene with the Mexicans saying, "we don't need no stinkin' badges"?
That's how I feel - we don't need no stinking ACC.
Here's where they're at - a two team conference with a dozen so-so hangers on.
Throw in Pitt and Syracuse.
Pitt - worst season under Dixon in modern era.
Syracuse - from the summit of Nirvana to hell, in about 4 months. They may be DONE. DONE. They tank this tourni, all sorts of issues with how JB is running the program, recruiting guys to come play Wake Forest and Maryland and NC State and sh---y Pitt puts the program in a final dry dive. JB should be done. Time to hang them up. I've got 50/50 odds the school forces him out. Syracuse is a good academic school - they don't want to be laughed at by the nation because their coach isn't in control of the program. The guy kept this under wraps until today to ensure that he got his 1 seed. Shaky.
So the ACC could very well devolve further into a 2 team conference with 14 hangers on, all groping to try not to suck to high hell all season long and take their 4 beatings from the royalty.
ACC screwed up. Pitt screwed up. Syracuse screwed up.
Good. Very good.
