There are lots of people who would argue that UConn isn't a "blueblood," even though they've won 5 titles since 1999, but that UCLA and Indiana are because of what they were under Wooden and Knight.

Anyhoo, I'll just stick with my belief that, money being equal, there is absolutely no reason for May or Lloyd to leave Michigan or Arizona for UNC or any other alleged blueblood.

I think the actual answer to the Bluebood banter is that they're are fewer Bluebloods, and they have fewer advantages, not that they don't exist.  Pakuni is correct that they have structures in place in addition to their name.  Indiana and UCLA are no longer BB's.  Duke, UNC, Kansas, and Kentucky are absolutely BB's.  And while NIL decreases their dominance, and coaches matter a lot, none of these schools will ever be bereft of talent or in jeopardy of irrelevance.
