New England is definitely BEAST country. I love how of the top ten there are only two recruits not going to Big East schools (Kansas and UMass).

Does that mean the Big East is over rated?

2 or 3 weeks ago the New Haven Register sport's columnist made a comment in his Sunday column about how ilrelavent Boston College is in the northeast since they left for the ACC.  Outside of Boston, nobody cares about them nor covers them anymore.

Juan Anderson is now #100 on ESPN's top 100 recruits. Not sure if that is old news.

I couldn't agree more. I live about 5-6 miles from the BC campus and BC basketball is the biggest non-event in Boston sports.

Not just basketball...football too.

I think the move for BC was idiotic, though I'm sure at the time the money seemed impossible to pass on. From a basketball perspective, the ACC is incredibly top-heavy, with Duke, UNC, and Wake the only really consistently relevant programs (despite WF's past couple years). They have no natural rivals, so they're just kind of "there". In football, they simply aren't good enough to dominate the ACC. They have a good program, but are a step below the likes of FSU, Miami, and Virginia Tech, and have no real hope of competing.

When you have no natural rivals and no hope of competing for titles, who's going to care? Had BC stayed in the Big East, they'd be competing with Pitt and WVU for BCS berths every single year and they'd have a basketball conference that fits them like a glove.

Have there been any recent conference moves that worked out worse for a team than BC's move to the ACC? Maybe DePaul, but for the Blue Demons, I can see an upside, even if it's still a few years off.
