UConn in the ACC - Virginia Tech forum

[Sea Goat]

Except that pesky 200 mile hole in the Eastern Seaboard where the ACC chose to plop its tournament down.

It's more than a "hole" - it is the whole eastern seaboard from D.C. north. Who the cares about BC (even in Boston)?

This. While southerners likely enjoy the opportunity to visit Boston every other year, there are not 10 ,000 people in all of NY and New England that care one lick about BC.

Next to crop circles, BC in a P5 is life's greatest mystery.

Boston is indeed a nice place to visit in the fall....as someone mentioned above, for us southerners.

It beats the heck out of Miami, Tallahassee, Clemson, Syracuse, Gainesville and Louisville (if not for the Bourbon Trail and countryside).....Raleigh-Durham, Roanoke, Charlottesville are all nice to visit in the Fall.

It's like having a tournament in NYC instead of Greensboro (freekin' Greensboro!)....there is a "there" there.

The city of Syracuse sucks, but there's plenty around in upstate NY.

Surprisingly...Barclays is doing OK with the ACC...I have never been to NYC...it is on my bucketlist.

Why isn't there an * after unc. I.e. Includes grades in fake classes for athletes

Is Carolina the only school in the rankings to have an academic scandal stain their image?

UNC has taken the definition of academic scandal to a new level. Are you implying that Carolina is not guilty by association?

I believe Carolina might be the only school with so many adults from academia and athletics doing what they knew was dead wrong (some out of fear) for a couple decades.

For the future of your misbegotten* sports league.

*"Misbegotten" felt right here, but I had to look it up to be sure. 1. Badly conceived, designed, or planned. 2. Contemptible. Yep, it fits!
