I can't take some of you seriously....

You wanna give Teams credit for.

1. Winning the NCAA when it wasn't even the #1 tournament.
2. Give teams credit when the tournament had 16 and 32 teams where 2 wins is a final four lol.
3. Knock UConn for winning 6 titles in 25 years chalking it up to luck in a real tournament field with way more teams.

You people are a joke.

Nobody is knocking UConn and what they have accomplished in the past 25 years. Everyone would love to have had that kind of recent success. But when it comes to bluebloods, they don't look like Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, and UCLA. These five schools have the history and tradition. They have a history of great players, with many of those players becoming NBA MVP's and Hall-of-Famers.

UConn never went to a Final Four before 1999. If it was so easy to make it in the old days, you would think they would have made a few.

UConn has one player in the Naismith Hall of Fame, that being Ray Allen. He was inducted in 2018. Where are the other great players? Blueblood schools have a history of great players.

UConn had five players on NBA opening night rosters for the start of the 2023-2024. The top four were Kentucky at 26, Duke at 24, UCLA with 15, and Kansas with 12. You would think with six national championships in 25 years, NBA rosters would be loaded with UConn players.

UConn belongs in the new blueblood category. But they are not in that blueblood category with Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, and UCLA. They just don't have the history or tradition.

Bluebloods are old money (old history).

New bloods are new money (new history).

If you can't get the definitions right, you're inherently reading, comprehending, and reacting with definitions that aren't even correct.

If I’m ranking them by brand I’d go…
UNC
Duke
Kentucky
Kansas
UConn

Blah, blah, blah.

I don't care about your opinion. I read perfectly, and I know the definition. I am just calling out a bunch of idiots when I see them.

Carry on.

If you made all your wealth in the last 25 years, you're not a blueblood. A blueblood is born into wealth. Noble birth.

New blood, yes. One of the all-time great programs due to the past 25 years, sure. Blueblood? As much as Mark Zuckerberg.

Ok, so everyone seems to agree that (regardless of how "blueblood" is defined), these are the basketball teams worth discussing:

ACC: NC and Duke
Big10: Indiana and UCLA
Big12: Kansas
BigEast: UConn
SEC: Kentucky

(Looks around to remind myself this is the realignment board.)

Soooo.

To consolidate these, it might not be a bad idea for the Big10 to add Kansas, and the ACC to add UConn? : )

(Especially if the SEC is planning on added NC.)

Sounds like fun to me : )
