ACC is Top College Sports Conference Ever

(UNC Baby)
The ACC is the best athletic college conference in the country. Although football is slowly building it's dominance over the nation, ranked third in the nation behind the BIG 10 and SEC in bowl appearances, is slowly starting to build.
The ACC has had the best record by conference in 2002-2004, but came across some difficult times in 05-07, but head to head vs. the sec I believe the record was 7-5 in favor of the ACC. There is a solid trend of improvement and the ACC football will become as feared as the basketball, lacrosse, field hockey, and soccer teams.
Other sports on the collegiate level are the acc's to lose. Women’s field hockey has won 14 of the total 28 national titles for the ACC. Half of the national title awarded to a colligate team were awarded to the ACC. The women’s soccer has been ruled by ACC winning 19 of the 26 award UNC alone has won since 1982 only losing out on the national title 8 times in that time frame. Men’s lacrosse has been all about the ACC since inception of the sport is it Duke or Maryland winning the national title 10 times. Women’s lacrosse has won the national title 12 times.
Then there is basketball -- nowhere in the country is there anything close to the Cameron crazies. The fans of the ACC are amazing. I have experience games in many different conference where team were playing “rivals” and the enthusiasm in the crowd was nowhere near the level of a basketball game with UNC playing Duke, that is my opinion. And you know what they say about that. The quality of professional athlete that come out of the conference to play professionally is always high level, but there are exceptions to the rule and I apologize ahead of time for the likes of Christian Lateen and JJ Reddick, but every conference has had there flops and JJ is starting to contribute to the team.
Then again the ACC has produced the likes of Mia Hamm, Vince Carter, Troy Matterson, and Michael Jordan. Well that is my thoughts and people are not going to like it but so what?
