The ACC sucks, period. Everything but basketball.

  • and even basketball in the ACC is declining at a rapid pace. When will the experts/pundits finally get it through their heads? What is it...really? Do they just want the ACC to succeed that badly. Is the hype machine from the ACC that strong?

    I just don't get it. Year after year, these so called experts and computers keep overrating these ACC teams's RPI's.

  • The mountain west conference had a higher RPI than the ACC last year in basketball. Overrated in everything.

    Pierce, it's really not fair to compare the SEC to anyone but pro sports!

    In reality, the ACC sucks at everything. I hear the arguments from the ACC guru that everything is cyclical. Maybe it is. The ACC sure in in a horrible cycle right now.

    Maybe, just maybe...their desire to be known as an academic conference...is killing them in athletic competition.
    Why any recruit would want to participate in that conference is beyond me. If their desire is post college athletics.

    Not true. They have excellent LaCrosse. I am not sure if Duke or Maryland shares their third tier LaCrosse TV rights with clemson, however. Otherwise, they will fall further behind us. They certainly are in a tough place. LOL

    I don't think that was by choice. That has been the Ivy leagues excuse for years. ACC schools are playing that card because it came free with the deck.
