This is basketball specific.  Louisville is like us and has always been good.  They were the best mid major ever until they came to the BE if you call Conference USA and it's predecessors a mid major.  They've also signed guys in our prime recruiting area that we either missed or passed on.  See Jordan Nwora and Donovan Mitchell.

BC stinks because winning 20-25 games wasn't enough for them so the fired Al Skinner 5 years after being the the ACC.  They made the dance 3 times in 5 years in the conference before he was let go.  They invest nothing in athletics and have some of the hardest admissions in the conference for sports.

Notre Dame hit a rough patch two years ago when their entire team was basically injured and they haven't recovered. IMO Brey is underperforming this year with the talent he has.

Syracuse stinking has nothing to do with the ACC.  UNC and Duke aren't even on their normal level anymore and trending down themselves.  We are talking about a conference currently dominated by Virginia and Florida State who were bottom dwellers in this conference for 3 decades.

We continue to let elite talent from our prime recruiting area go elsewhere on a yearly basis.  I get guys want to leave home, but outside of Girard and Buddy we have missed or not offered on guys in state on a yearly basis.  That has zero to do with the ACC.  See Thomas Bryant, Kevin Huerter, Isaiah Stewart, Jordan Nwora, Champagnie etc.
