Just asking, does it pay on the field or on the court to move from one conference to another or does the moving team always seem to get the short end of the stick in their new conference? So while exciting to have SU play Duke or UNC or other ACC teams, will the be as successful as they are now?
Louisville has been very good in the Big East for basketball.
Cincy won back-to-back football championships in 08 and 09.
VPI has won 3 ACC championships in the past 4 years.
Right now, there are only 4 contenders to win the ACC (basketball) - Duke, UNC, SU, and Pitt. In the Big East, there were usually 6 or 7 viable (top 25) teams going into each season. Cuse will continue to be a basketball powerhouse nationally and football will remain in a conference where they can continue to grow and won't be buried in the basement like they would have been if we joined the BIG 1X.
