Well, it's a good thing we've won a men's title sooner than any school not named Duke, and that our women's team is like the Celtics of the 1960s.

I don't think any of this is relevant anymore, actually.  The vast majority of schools that have changed leagues have never been subjected to a quality test.  Ask yourself this:  what's the brand of Syracuse?  Virginia Tech?  Pittsburgh?  BC?  Maryland?  Rutgers?  Colorado?  Utah?  TCU?

At best you've got Miami, Nebraska and Louisville that moved on football grounds; Virginia Tech, TCU and West Virginia that took the last train out of the station, hanging on for dear life; BC that was invited after being turned down once; Syracuse and Pitt that were added to try to wall off Penn State;  Colorado and Utah that were added as emerging markets; and Maryland and Rutgers that were added for TV sets.  No one gives a crap about quality anymore.

If they did, we wouldn't be sitting here holding the bag with more men's hoops than all of those schools put together, and a BCS berth sooner than half of them, and the greatest women's program in the history of women's college athletics, in one of the wealthiest states in the nation and the 30th largest TV markets (positioned between the 1st and 7th-largest).
