Anything related to the "Big 4" is an inherently antiquated ACC scapegoat. Name the last time that a major ACC decision benefited Wake or State in basketball. If the idea were to preserve the Big 4 (and go ahead and throw in UVA) then we would be the go to round robin teams in basketball, still have our annual football rivalry games, and VT would not have been added since it watered down the basketball recruits going to Wake and (until the last few years) State. VT and Miami were brought in to keep Clemson, GT and FSU happy in the sense of having class A competition and all five have completely fucked that up.
Non NC schools bitch about the Big 4 preferential treatment, State and Wake bitch about the preferential treatment shown to UNC and Duke, UNC bitches about the preferential treatment shown to Duke, and Duke bitches about the preferential treatment shown to UNC. Unless your school is winning every trophy with ease or can make a legitimate case that it has been treated unfairly, just shut the fuck up about the ACC not giving you your due.
