It matters not what anyone really thinks about the move, it was a necessary reaction to the storm that is coming this way...

What other choice did Syracuse have?

Do they sit tight & wait for the Big East to crumble around them? Should they HOPE for another major conference to come along & snatch them?

This is the best of any scenario they can have at this point. They will have the advantage of being at the Big Boys table, while not getting buried by football teams who have superior athletes at every position. The ACC is pretty much at the same level as the Big East in Football, except they have a few more teams who are good, and FSU is about to make the step back to annual top 5 status.

In basketball, Syracuse will have fewer real challenges like they do every game in the Big East. Sure, they will face UNC & Duke now, but that will be their only 50/50 games. All other contests will average to a 75% chance of winning. SU's average conference ranking will be HIGHER in the ACC than it does in the Big East. They would end up 3rd at worse, & maybe 4th once in awhile if UCONN joins the ACC.

Even if the ACC merged with the Big East Football schools, you have the same outcome, so why wait for that possible outcome?
