I should clarify that I realize people in the mid-atlantic care about the ACC to some extent but that nationally -- football-wise at least -- it's not going to hold a candle to the pac 12, big 10 and sec.

But the football side is, apparently, where the TV money comes from and, yes, BE football is not terribly compelling (though the teams aren't half bad, IMO). BUT, if you think the Big East hasn't been a recruiting tool, a link to NYC and a general identity for cuse hoops (also the dome and JB) for the last 30 years, you're crazy. There is absolutely no way of suggesting that the Cuse hasn't reaped significant benefits from belonging to the best hoops conference in the country and playing in NYC several times a year. In fact, you could make the argument that the BET is the only college event all year that actually captures NYC. My buddies love going and only one roots for a BE team religiously (the Hall). They don't talk about college sports the rest of the year (outside the NCAA tourney).
