COMMENTARY
When Boston College announced it was joining the Atlantic Coast Conference back in 2003, the news was met with great enthusiasm. The school’s “revenue” teams—football and basketball—were strong, and theoretically would only get stronger. But things haven’t worked out that way, and after year 11 in the ACC, it’d be hard to say that anyone is really feeling that enthusiasm any longer. The time may have come for BC to consider switching conferences, because there is a mountain of data that suggests that they can’t compete with the big boys and girls.
