Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4355286, member: 55"] This. The ACC was never, never, on the level of any of the SEC, Big Ten, Big XII or Pac Ten in football. It brought in FSU and had its first national power. Then it expanded, and because it was by prestige the best basketball conference in the country, and was a "major" conference," got grouped for some purposes with the real big boys. But Clemson's recent run aside, it was never on the level of the others -- it just has survived as the number above it keeps shrinking. I'm not knocking it -- we're also basketball centric, and I hope that will be our home when the dust settles, as a place viewed as the Big East was viewed when we got there -- right on the line between "major" and not. But it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
