Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4814970, member: 1559"] I don't agree. Adding Stanford/Cal/SMU diluted basketball and probably football as well. As for the schools you mentioned, NC State has not been to an Elite 8 since 1986. Pitt was in a decline when they joined the ACC and the Big East made Pitt as they used to be strong recruiters in the NYC area. Wake Forest has one Sweet 16 in 25 years. Notre Dame has performed about in line with recent history. Louisville has struggled since Pitino left and need a new head coach, then they will be back. Syracuse lost their program builder and replaced him with a former player. We've since this before. And, Miami and Virginia have performed above expectations to offset the decline of Syracuse and Louisville. [/QUOTE]
