Instead of football greatness, expansion has brought ACC nothing but mediocrity

Posted Sep 6, 2011
The storied basketball league has been reduced to the Big Two and Little 10. North Carolina and Duke still do what they do, winning back-to-back national titles in ’09 and ’10, with the Tar Heels reaching the Elite Eight last season. The rest? Eight of the other 10 programs have changed coaches in the last three seasons. The last program to reach the Final Four besides the Tobacco Road rivals was Georgia Tech in 2004. Yes, the last season before the expansion. (Sporting News)
