Message: [QUOTE="PeteCalvin, post: 5030759, member: 439"] They are not power hoops conferences. Neither have won a title since UK in 2012. Let them win something before we go anointing them as bball powerhouses. Yes, they have boatloads of cash, and, yes, the SEC schools are spending more on hoops, not just UK. But the B1G has been spending big dollars on hoops the last 30 years or more, and they haven’t lit the world on fire. The ACC, Big 12, and the Big East have outperformed them when it counts. It’s all a hype machine now, and you have CBS, NBC, Fox and ESPN hyping just those two conferences and only ESPN hyping the ACC. It’s going to be harder for the ACC, but let’s not pretend that we’ve become a doormat. Far from. [/QUOTE]
