Syracuse basketball has competed in the Atlantic Coast Conference since the 2013-14 campaign, although many Orange fans still yearn for the ‘Cuse to suit up in the old Big East Conference.
Personally, I’m torn. I get why the Orange moved to the ACC. Conference realignment and football revenue steered the relocation. The Big East, as it stands now, is not a football conference like the ACC, and Syracuse University had to bolt for greener pastures.
If we’re talking about the ACC, other teams such as Pittsburgh, Louisville and Notre Dame (except for football) made the same decision.
