So living in ACC country for the past 20+ years I have constantly heard about how the ACC conference is so much better than all others. This of course is certainly enhanced by the media bias towards them. I go back and forth with a buddy about the ACC vs. what was the former Big East. I heard all the business once they had 6 teams in the Sweet 16 this year, 3 of which I pointed out were former Big East members. Now I get a text this morning about 2 of the Final Four teams being from the ACC. I responded back saying actually there were "technically" 2 Big East teams representing and they probably would have had a 3rd if North Carolina players did not have all that extra time to practice due to skipping classes and still passing their classes.
So whatever happened with the investigation on that? I sort of got away from the coverage but it looks like, as I suspected from the beginning, it just got swept under the carpet.
Screw the NCAA, and ESPN, for breaking up the "Best" basketball conference ever. If none of the Power 5 conferences will have UCONN, they should try to get their basketball teams back in the new Big East, not sure what that leaves the football team with. I know that's not going to happen but we are dead in the water if we stay in the AAC. It will be very difficult to continue to attract top level recruits, even the 4 stars, if we don't.
