To be honest, student's couldn't give a damn about the history, they want the here and now.  If you were 18-22, what would excite you more, our rich history, but lack of great teams recently--you seem to forget the 2011 season, one with so much hope early, but where we crash landed at the end--or Oregon, a team with not much history, but flash, speed, and style?  Being 6-6 every year isn't going to excite students, especially with a basketball program as good as ours in comparison.

Playing in the ACC will help, the new opponents are exciting and will bring out program to a different level--the Big East was a definite detriment, football-wise.

Back to my point on Boston College, here's an article that kind of reiterates my point.  They have the same issues as us, and though they have worse basketball attendance than us (believe me, MUCH worse), they make up for it with their big hockey crowds (why don't we have a hockey team again?).
