Why do you hate BC?

[TerryD]

Absolutely.

But here's the funny thing; out of the schools in the list above that defected, can you name even one of them that is better off today than they were with the Big East?

I can't. Yes, they're making more money, but their athletic programs have all suffered. You could make the argument that Syracuse has been the least affected of the bunch, but even they were stronger from a basketball perspective in the Big East:

Syracuse - slightly worse off or about even
BC - much worse off except for hockey which is unaffected by ACC conference
ND - unaffected in olympic sports
Louisville - slightly worse off
Pitt - MUCH worse off
WVU - (forced into the move) worse off...now the fifth best team in a conference instead of best team from football standpoint
St. John's - completely irrelevant now
Georgetown - much worse off
Villanova - perhaps the only winner. The top school in their new conference vs. the 5th best in their old one

So from all that greed, there was only one winner in the whole bunch...

ND won an ACC basketball title and have two Elite 8 finishes in the past three years. I think that ND athletics is better off having 24 sports in the ACC versus the Big East.

I would say you guys are almost a wash. You won a few national championships in the Big East. Your women's soccer team was at its height in the Big East. Your men's basketball is probably about equal in performance between Big East and ACC. Women's basketball is experiencing a big dropoff right now for you. Etc, etc. You're not really better off right now, other than the money obviously...

I have met many, many fans from other ACC Schools. Attended road games at these schools. Never once have I felt any hate. More like Southern Hospitality. Amazing how nice and welcoming people from Clemson have been for one.

All that hate is part of your hate clouded fantasy world!

Where else do you see a thread called Why do you hate BC? You don't!

No Southerner likes Yankee Catholics who mooch off the conference and add nothing to the revenue.

I've lived in the South for 32 years.

You got outgained by a team in turmoil,

Again the winner is the team with the most point, not who gained the most yards.

UConn has always been very proud of their garbage time yards and points. Believe they matter when your starters play against our second stringers!

Wow you dominated for EIGHTEEN MINUTES! Be real proud of that! Almost a moral victory! Imagine if you had dominated for over 20 minutes! That would have been a moral victory! And you out gained us, WOW! Be proud of that as well! You still lost but a lot to be proud about!

Congratulation for living in the South for 32 years. Quite an accomplishment! That must make you an expert on how Southerners behave. How did a fine Southerner like you end up at a Yankee College like UConn.

Oh, UConn must suck. We're so bad, we draw BC trolls to our board. I can't wait until next year, when our winning will attract a higher caliber of troll. Like UMass...

Reading this reminds me of a bunch of middle schoolers fighting over AOL Instant messenger. Sad!
