It now looks like the ones who stayed were the smart ones. The Big East has more than shown it is deserving of Elite Conference status while the ACC has actually gone down hill, and was downright dismal in the bowls this year.
And Miami wasn’t even good enough to be in a bowl game, period.
...As a matter of fact, one of the few ACC teams to win a bowl, though unranked was the one that defeated my UConn, Wake Forest. Wake Forest, a small liberal arts college has produced a strong football program. It would not suprise me if it was with Boston College the only two ACC colleges to show up and win the bowls they were in.
I also thought the Big East would be a disaster after Miami and BC and VT left for the ACC. It’s really pretty amazing. Remember when there was talk about whether the Big East even deserved a spot is the BCS.
