SUforLife makes some really interesting points and I'm always up for a good conspiracy theory.

Couple things that I question though -

-Are you basing this theory of Duke and UNC being dominant as a result of bad calls or non-calls by referees that Coach K controls?  I think you'd be hard pressed to prove that.  You'd have to find quite a lot of blatently bad calls over the past however many years to back that up.  Can you?

-You are completely discounting the football thing?  I mean it IS a fact that football is a much more significant money maker than hoops.  Is your position that Coach K is SO powerful that everybody else in the ACC just does what he says regardless of the $$$ they'd make or not?

I can certainly understand a hatred for Calhoun and a desire to destroy his empire but dollars rule and if taking Syracuse didn't mean big time profits on the football side for the ACC then I have a hard time believing K could pull it off.  Or did he just get lucky with his desire to crush Calhoun nicely dovetailing with the football conference craziness?

-Controlling Syracuse's future success in the ACC:  again, this will be done by controlling the refs?
