A basketball conference obviously can't survive in the football TV money grab.

They really made a mess of the whole collegiate landscape when the ACC grabbed Boston College for the football champ. game requirement of # schools.

They needed to split off the hoops schools from the football schools and worked out some deal where UCONN, Syracuse, and BC could have kept their hoops teams involved. They've dicked their own brand and own identity over so many times it's basically value-less.

Most people knew this was going to happen. I hate for that conference to disappear like that but once the ACC kept poaching teams from there and other factors, it would lead to something like this.

That is the reason why I would love the ACC to get hit like that, because they are the one of the biggest reason why Big East is on Life Support right now.
