[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 995835, member: 2957"] The ACC for decades was the premier basketball conference. No one complained about conference dominance, media bias, or conspiracy then. Well, a little. Clemson, a few years ago, was a dominating football program. But Dabo made the call to abstain from NIL and the portal. That’s a self inflicted wound. FSU and Miami in the 1990s, likewise. Self-inflicted. Birmingham AL is the number one television market in the country for college football. Chapel Hill, Charlottesville, and Syracuse are rounding errors. Check out Pareto. Yes, the data is skewed. But it’s predictably skewed. Hardwringing isn’t going to change that. Alabama is what, a $150 million program. In five years, it will be $250 million. It’s the same thing that happened to the NFL. Everyone today loves KC … and few remember Pottsville. I grew up in Alabama. My old gf was a member of the Bryant tribe. It is inconceivable that Bama will yield to anything other than being Number One. Or die trying. The money machine is massive. Massive. If the ACC wants to be relevant, it has to manage itself to relevance. But, when they had it … in basketball … they successfully managed themselves into irrelevance. Not a great strategy. [/QUOTE]
