Realignment has led to revisionist history, which means guys who didn't play in the ACC are now ACC Legends. Is that right?
On Friday, there was a solid post up on the SB Nation mothership site about how realignment has changed the scope of history about college sports. Because teams no longer compete in their historical conferences, new leagues are claiming history as their own, such as when the SEC claimed Texas A&M alum Von Miller as its own as Super Bowl MVP.
SBN offers up a simplistic explanation, which is that a conference has to treat teams equally when it comes to their histories.
