With the most intense realignment period in the history of college sports going on right now, several conferences are in danger of ceasing to exist altogether, and the Atlantic Coast Conference is in that boat. The ACC doesn't have a strong long-term financial standing currently, and several of its marquee programs are actively exploring options to exit.
However, two legendary college hoops coaches might have the solution for the ACC to continue thriving, as Rick Pitino and Mike Krzyzewski agree that the ACC and Big East should merge to form a "mega conference."
Coach K talked about the idea earlier this year on his SiriusXM show, and Pitino agreed with Coach K recently after speaking with insider Jon Rothstein.
