That's a good deal weaker than what we see from soon-to-be newcomers to the Big Ten(+14.71), the Big 12 (+14.90) and the SEC(+17.58).” Gasaway also points out the trio “collectively has not won an NCAA Tournamentgame since 2014” while “Cal and SMU rank near the bottom of the nation's (current or soon-to-be) major conference programs in terms of performance over the past five seasons. For that matter, current ACC members like Boston College, Wake Forest, Pitt and Georgia Tech are in much the same statistical boat. Which means in a year's time the ACC will have six members that, for now, rank among the bottom 12 nationally for performance over the past five seasons.” ([URL='https://drvco.omeclk.com/portal/wts/ue%5EcnC-%7C6CaqBD%7ChFBk6rzyPga'][B]link[/B][/URL]) <- [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/38634352/is-adding-stanford-cal-smu-good-acc-men-college-basketball[/URL] [/QUOTE]
