League profiles go up and and down as teams and coaches change. The ACC rode high a very long time, the SEC was a joke. In general I would root for a BE team against other conferences but I have acquaintances who are Pitt and St.John’s people (Pitt’s fans suck) and we now hate Pitt and Cuse cause they’re out but should root for St.John’s? Their fans are obnoxious and just as bad. Just don’t buy into this conference kumbaya thing. For me it’s individual matchups for who I root against based on past history. Who do I dislike most? Duke. Many are tied for #2 but I just don’t hate Cuse the way so many here do.
The SEC now has unlimited money and a network that needs to attract eyeballs year-round. They are investing in basketball and the advent of NIL makes their money count.
The BigTen will probably also rise relative to other conferences due to their money advantage and network.
The ACC will always be relevant as long as they have UNC and Duke, but they'll never again be a top two conference.
