PAC12 is no more. There are only P4+Big East.The ACC honestly doesn’t have a very good collection of coaches. Arguably the worst in the P5 + the Big East

Cocks with the victory. ACC sux.Not so fast my friend!!
Did we at least appear in Lunardi’s “first 100 out?” I’m too depressed to look myself.
So at least the ACC/SEC games are finally over.
ACC went 4-30 against the SEC this year. I'm not even sure how that is possible.
It would be nice if the ACC could take over the BE gig, and get into a rivalry with the B12 instead of the SEC. As I documented, in my other thread the B12 has a way of really dominating in the Q4 games more than others (which boosts its NET), but at the same time don't too much better in higher profile games.
Torvik's ranking of High Majors, here are the 10 worst teams:Maybe this will make you feel better. Based on NET we are now one of the first 74 teams out of the tournament.
I'm not sure we beat many of those teams either. Wed be lucky to get more than 2 wins if we played all of them.Torvik's ranking of High Majors, here are the 10 worst teams:
Wake Forest (ACC)Georgia Tech (ACC)Miami (ACC)California (ACC)Washington (Post-Hop era)Syracuse (ACC)MinnesotaSeton HallVirginia Tech (ACC)Boston College (ACC)
For those keeping score at home, the ACC has 7 of the 10 worst high major college basketball teams.
Fortunately Cuse has football going for it. Hopefully a blueprint for future success in other sports.
My biggest hope is fran can turn the ship around and beat up on these other teams and hopefully, get us a seat at the table in a new conference when the ACC eventually collapses.Fortunately Cuse has football going for it. Hopefully a blueprint for future success in other sports.
You mean find a better coach with an actual system??Fortunately Cuse has football going for it. Hopefully a blueprint for future success in other sports.
At least the ACC has soccer and lacrosse to hang it's hat on.I'm not sure we beat many of those teams either. Wed be lucky to get more than 2 wins if we played all of them.
I keep wanting to get into soccer but I can't grasp it. Vermont, an American East team, just recently won the NCAA Championship. They weren't even one of the top sixteen seeds going into the tournament. They beat Iona just to get into the main part of the tournament.At least the ACC has soccer and lacrosse to hang it's hat on.
Unfortunately there's no $$ to be had there.

The downfall of the ACC needs to be studied.
The new first year Vandy coach was a good hire for them. Mark Byington who coached at James Madison. He flipped the entire roster in first year after mediocre coaching run with Jerry Stackhouse, currently Vandy is 12-1 entering conference play, weak SOS, but pretty good NET rating. They lack height, play pressing D, and uptempo O. Fun to watchIt’s the coaches, stupid! When the new Big East was king, they had the deep bench of premier coaches. Boeheim. Pitino. Wright. Calhoun. Huggie. Buzz. Dixon. JT3 ( vom ). Even dorky turtle neck Mike Brey. Sure there were some duds, but the conference had star power coaches. Compare that and the SEC with the current crop of coaches in the ACC. It’s painfully obvious why the conference is lagging behind. You can buy all the players you want but you need a competent coach to lead them.
Everything you said is VERY TRUE!ACC has four. NIL sticks. The transfer portal stinks. The NCAA stinks. College Basketball stinks.

Men's Bracketology: Purdue, Kentucky losses are Wisconsin's gain
Let's map out the domino effects in the bracket as we get closer to Selection Sunday. The Badgers are among the big winners from this past weekend.www.espn.com
I think we are in the goldrush phase of NIL. I can't remember, but one of the recent games the announcer mentioned "donor fatigue." That's a great term for what I predict will be coming. NIL isn't going anywhere but it's going to cool off a bit. Only 1 team can win the championship every year. Combine that with guys that get paid handsomely, fail to win, and then hit the portal and rich dudes are eventually going to get tired of it. Most of them (unless it's all inherited money) got rich by being good with money. Being a platonic sugar daddy for 18-21 year olds that fail to bring back a trophy year after year is going to get old.ACC has four. NIL sticks. The transfer portal stinks. The NCAA stinks.

Yup. It's great to see Old State U win, but chances are these "rich" people have other causes they believe in as well. Do you want to take care of a college kid who may be a one year mercenary or would you rather help some deserving needy kids who might never see the inside of a college classroom if it wasn't for your scholarship.I think we are in the goldrush phase of NIL.
