This is a wild take after watching the ACC get left behind in realignment. Sustainable programs? They're losing their flagship schools to the SEC and Big Ten because they couldn't keep up. Where's that "consistent excellence" when Florida State and Clemson are begging to get out? Their entire legacy is getting picked apart by other conferences while they cling to a basketball-first identity. The portal era rewards aggressiveness, not just hoping your three-star croots develop. That "built" identity looks a lot like getting left on the tarmac.
