Keep in mind, JB is the first (that I heard, anyway) to say something like "The ACC is the best basketball conference in the history of the world". And he's repeated that. There's no question that he's all in on the ACC. When he's nostalgic, it's for a BE that ceased to exist a long time ago.I agree JB's comments after the Pitt game were not respectful to the ACC.
I don't expect you to change your mind on this, but he is an intensely loyal guy who spent most of his life helping to build the Big East from scratch. He respects the ACC a lot but fought a lot of battles against that worthy adversary and it is a little hard for him to accept being on the other side of the battle now.
It was more of a statement of pride for where his team has come from than an attempt to denigrate the conference that in many ways has saved the Syracuse athletic program from an awful fate.
