Message: [QUOTE="Cuse181, post: 4539300, member: 8295"] New rivalries will form over time and conference foe success will beget further success. Pitt and Louisville’s fall after Jamie Dixon and Pitino respectively had as much to do with killing the rivalries as the move to the ACC and Syracuse’s decline did. Early Syracuse Duke games returned fantastic numbers but with coach K gone, it’s going to take time to build up that into some sort of rivalry. Transitions occur with every school eventually and despite the macro impact of realignment, basketball schools will still find a niche existence and Syracuse will likely continue to fall into the category.
