Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5141768, member: 173"] Since football is driving conference play more, it really shows on the football side - but there’s plenty of teams that were going to be great in a new conference (Penn State, Nebraska, Miami, VT, etc) that have never reached the level of success that was expected. Syracuse was expected to be a lot better in basketball than what the ACC has seen as well - so we’ve literally lived through the underperformance that has often unexpectedly accompanied a conference change. Thinking that UConn going to the Big 12 doesn’t have at least some fair amount of risk that basketball recruiting will drop off is insanity. Syracuse fans are often characterized by a wild pessimism that goes far beyond what is justified - the concern over UConn to the Big 12 is an excellent example of that. [/QUOTE]
