Amen on this.

Someone mentioned Duke. It's true that they don't bring much to football audiences, but they have improved and Dukies seem to be taking hold. I've seen photos from basketball team boosters that are now supporting the football team.

While I have respect for the ACC schools, I hope the conference crumbles because of football. It would indeed serve them right for almost destroying a great basketball conference (the Big East) to help football.

  • palestra38 Said:
ACC is the next domino to fall, which will serve them right since they started the cannibalism by swallowing up the Big East football conference. Look for Florida State and Clemson to bail to the SEC.






The elephant in the room here is the fact that all of the conference realignments and consolidation have been driven by power conference football interests. This is as much of a threat to the college basketball ecosystem as anything. I contend that the NIL issue is a symptom, not the underlying disease.
