Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 17902, member: 628"] One of the reasons I've long wanted into the ACC is that just about every school has an avid natural fanbase. Even when schools are down there is still a nice sized of locals and alums who care. That's not the case with too many teams in the Big East. For the hoopsters, as soon as G'twon, Nova, StJ's, etc are out of the top 25 no one gives a flying fig about them in their cities. And no one ever cares about the Hall, DePaul and Providence. On the football side I can honestly say that I have never met a graduate of Cincy, USF and Louisville. Never. Meanwhile I know scores of people who went to MD, VA, VT, UNC and Duke. To me, a HUGE part of the appeal of college sports is the fanbases, and the BE has always been severely lacking in that regard. [/QUOTE]
