ChiefsPlanet - Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment

And ask to be trolled and stalked, when I have no dog in this fight - I'm just calling it as I see it?

No thanks.

FWIW, you fall in the middle, leaning towards the non-douchebags, from what I've read from you in this thread and others.

I have no issue with you. Just debating the topic.

We all know who the douchebag KU fans are. Let's not play stupid here.

I understand. I'm just trying to give you my perspective. I, among many other KU fans, rank the Jayhawks Men's Basketball 3rd overall in the history. ESPN ranked them 2nd in 2008, on the other hand. I just think that winning in the 20's, 50's, 80's and 2000's constitutes more tradition than winning in the 1990's and 2000's or having an incredible run for 10 years (while paying players), that's all.

Having said all that, I have no illusions over exactly how far that's going to take us when discussing this new realignment party, which is nowhere.

How's this?

1a-d = UNC, UK, UCLA, Duke. No particular order.

I'd set the order as this (top to bottom):

UNC
Kentucky
Duke
KU
UCLA

When Krysishlaskjkaska;lksdjki retires, I think KU and UCLA can go ahead of Duke, who might fall back even more spots.

Why would you put UNC above UK when UK has more wins and more championships? Because Jordan went there?

No. I see UNC as the epicenter of college basketball. Really, the relationship between Kentucky, Kansas, and UNC is pretty incestuous.

UNC has simply been one of the most consistent and remains the gold standard. And, yes, I realize Smith went through a long drought before winning his first championship.

IMO,

Kentucky
UCLA
UNC
Kansas
Duke

In my opinion, you can't separate those programs in a meaningful way. It's like a "rank the greatest QBs" question.

Everyone seems to realize basketball has little to do with survivng the great BCS cataclysm of 2010.

Oh noes, I've just been informed that KU fans claim 5 Championships, 2 of them being "Helms Athletic Association" champions.

I confirmed this by Googling "mythical national championships." LMAO

Thank God for 1922 and 1923.

But wait, UNC has one of these Mythical National Championships as well. Which gives them 6. Oh, if only Duke had won one of these Mythical Championships!

Look out for Wisconsin, who's right on your heels with 3 Mythicals and a Real Championship. Just one behind.

So you're claiming there were no basketball champions prior to the NCAA tournament?

Some take it more seriously than others.
