I have been a loyal viewer of Miami Hurricanes basketball since they joined the ACC in 2004. I was much more excited about the conference move for the Canes on the hard court as opposed to the gridiron. The ACC is home to college basketball powerhouses Duke and UNC. Wake Forest, NC State and Georgia Tech have rich histories. Virginia was solid, then became a top-flight program once Tony Bennett showed up. Plus, Miami’s main rival, FSU, is there. I was looking forward to the change in competition from the old Big East.
