Well, as far as I'm concerned they already missed crossroads time. That would have been something they should have thought of before joining the ACC. I mean, seriously, if we weren't committing wholeheartedly to football then why join the ACC? Seriously, if they weren't doing it, then the focus should've been on hoops, which certainly wouldn't have meant joining a conference where you spend your whole year playing in backwoods southern locales and not coming remotely close to philly/nyc/dc/baltimore. Nice. 
 
And while we're on the topic, by the way, is anyone going to give me a bit of credit for saying BC was a huge cautionary example of the uncertainty of switching conferences for money? I mean, listen, maybe this whole thing works out, but that *awesome* move to the ACC has put us ahead of basically one program (UConn) and it wouldn't be a shock if they end up in the same spot sooner than later. Meanwhile we may have no 'ball coach, awful facilities, are looking up at RU from a TV revenue standpoint and our new conference has already been raided. Oh, and we're not playing in the best hoops conference ever created anymore or anywhere within 3.5 hours of my house. Sweet. My only point was that those dollars are nice, but it guarantees us nothing. 
 
Just feels shortsighted and misguided to hitch our star to a football program that, let's face it, no one outside of a handful of upstate new york natives and a bunch of alums give two s--ts about.
