Is that really true, though? I mean, football obviously is playing in a different league at that point, but there are plenty of schools thriving in lax despite not being in power conferences. Loyola won a title a couple years ago and was No. 1 for a while this year and they basically play hoops in a high school gym and don't have football.

And everyone was laughing at UConn's demise until they won a title. No one knows, I guess, but I'd be surprised if they fall off in the next decade. I actually think the conference with the leftover BE teams will be among the most intriguing in the country year in and year out. We'll see I guess.

But we've also seen that moving to a power conference doesn't necessarily make you a relevant team in those sports. Depaul's program arguable got worse in the BE. It would be hard to argue that Vandy would somehow be less relevant playing in a non-P5 conference. Honestly, their head coach got a big job by virtue of winning a few recruiting battles and piling up some relatively ho-hum non-conference wins.

I'm fine with the ACC but I fear football is chasing a past it will never realize again.
