The cesspool of college athletics would be a great way for some universities to break off and form their own true identity. It would be the best conference in basketball for some of us and the passion would be back for most fans who now see their teams languishing in boring and geographically challenged conditions. ND and BC do not belong in the ACC. Just think of the weekly match ups that would occur and the bragging rights from winning.
Villanova,Gonzaga,Dayton,G-town,ND,St.Joe,St Johns, Marquette,St. Mary's,St.Louis,Depaul,BC,LaSalle to name a few. I would rather play in this conference than watching us play Clemson,FSU, or GTech. We have nothing in common with those squads. Return to your roots and have fun claiming bragging rights for the Catholic way. ND has no chance to be elite but you could claim top billing in this conference and call yourself champs.
