BC is not really a research university and did $68 million in research in 2022. They will never become part of AAU. They don't have a medical school or really a school of engineering (you can can an undergraduate "engineering" degree, but it's a liberal arts program.) so they really don't fit with the Big 10. Why would the Big 10 take BC when they could grab Duke, UNC, Virginia, Georgia Tech,.....
Interesting article. It was dated 11/19/2020. My knee jerk reaction is that UConn should jump from #8 to #6 if the list was updated through 2024.Top 25...uh huh...but
Western Kentucky, Temple, Georgetown, Syracuse, Louisville,
The Greatest College Basketball Programs Ever: Ranking the top teams of all time
You know who the top schools are, but can you guess them in the right order? Come look at the top shelf of college hoopswww.cbssports.com
Of course SMU bought their way in.
I still get mad thinking SMU is an ACC team now....such a slap in the face.
All true, but the powers that be in North Carolina will not force UNC to be a have-not when a conference move would be in their best interest.
Right. I think it didn’t pass this year but there was a bill in the Carolina legislature to require UNC to play NC State annually and ECU and Appalachian State home and home on a rotating basis. (1 each year, not both). If you think UNC is leaving NC State high and dry like UCLA did to Cal think again.
I guess you can make any criteria you want. Heck in the 1960s the NIT was much more highly regarded than the NCAA. Until the mid-70s it wasn’t unusual for teams to select it over the NCAA if they got invited to both. The NCAA was limited to conference champs plus a handful of Independents. Most of the original Big East were Independents. A few were in sort of quasi-leagues from time to time. More akin to the Little 3 than the Big 10, if you will. A bunch of teams in the same area who played each other because they were nearby so they gave themselves a name. Then there were teams that really were Indy. UNC gets conference champion points from the 1950s. So does UConn. Georgetown was Independent until the Big East was formed I believe. It was in the 1970s at least.
BC to the B1G is about as real as Goodwin College going to the SEC! Not happening.
there is not enough laughing gas on earth for BC to B1G
With whom are you angry? Whose face got slapped, and who did the slapping?
And it was their previous AD who as commissioner made all these deals with ESPN to protect his sons job with Raycom.
Northwestern and Vandy will be psyched at the idea of taking what would probably amount to a 60+ million dollar a year haircut.
"In his regular Friday appearance on the Bill King Show, Pete Cordelli revealed his sources are telling him that the ACC is seriously considering the firing of low-revenue programs that are a financial drag on the league in order to free up much-needed cash currently going to those programs. Instead, that newfound revenue would be diverted to ACC power brands such as Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina, and Miami."
Thank you. I hate BC/Cuse/Duke as much as the next guy but how in the world is SMU and Calford better than those?
Because they aren't getting paid?
