[QUOTE="Niastri, post: 23094, member: 722"]
I grew up in Syracuse, I have been a big fan since my dad let me watch tv only cause the Orange were on tv in the NCAA's during the Final Four run.   I went away to school rather than stay at SU.  I can't decide how I feel about the change.  I imagined my conference staying strong and growing in power for many years.  My team would never fear irrelevance.

We have all hated the ACC for so long, it is hard to accept our conferences best members being eaten by the hated enemy.  But now we are the enemy.  The ACC is the Big East football conference, plus the Old ACC. I hope we add UConn and some other Northern School.  Being ruled by the North Carolina group will really suck.  We might have had a crappy conference if everybody else left, but the Big East knew they needed us, even feared us. The ACC is going to make us scrape and bow.  I am already sick about playing in UNC's gym in a "neutral site" just because they only play outside of NC every four years during the ACCT.

However, after we (the ACC) pick up a few more schools, we as Syracuse fans will no longer wonder why we have to go to Texas every year.  I was sick after we added TCU, no matter their tradition (on cue: What Tradition?) of winning one BCS bid the year before we picked them up.

The Big East leadership was running around like children with Attention Deficit.  They found something shiny, and made it clear they didn't have a plan by picking that shiny top5 team up, instead of making a long term positive end result possible.

We Are... ACC!

It hurts so bad to say so.
