Message: [QUOTE="Fat tire 13, post: 2091952, member: 6171"] I agree on the future of the ACC. The comparison to the heyday of the Big East is interesting. I thought Boeheim made a relevant point in the Duke presser. The ACC at the moment is deep from top to bottom. No "conference cupcakes." Part of that may have been to rationalize the BC loss, but there is lots of truth to it. The Big East generally had 2-3 sucky teams every year (i.e. Depaul in recent times). Then it comes down to how one defines success. Is it number of bids or teams that make it far? Neil referenced the Big East in 2011 when most of the teams flamed out. My personal opinion is that it is a combination of sorts. Lots of bids + a handful of teams in final 8. This looks like it could be a good combo year. NC looks poised to make final 4 again, then 4-5 other teams capable of making a run. [/QUOTE]
