Rise of Big East has knocked ACC down a rung. But is the change permanent?

Good article, expansion has ruined the ACC supremacy in Hoops. And many ACC fans are ticked off about it. They aren't any better than the BE at football. So now they really screwed the pooch.

This crybaby had me rolling:

"I'm not one that says the Big East is all that great," Odom said. "I don't even look at it as a conference. I look at it more as a coalition of l6 teams. They've got eight really, really solid programs, and maybe you could stretch it to 10. I think the ACC, by and large, can pretty well match that. The last six teams in the Big East -- well, I don't know if there's strength in numbers. I don't know if they're head and shoulders above everybody this year. Once you get past the top four, it becomes just OK. I wouldn't be the one to say that's a killer league."

Yeah, well the Big East's best can put a thumping on the ACC's best in basketball.  The same goes for football.

Karma is a (female dog).  Welcome to payback, greedy ACC.

The ACC has 4 good basketball teams. The BEAST has twice that.
