The Atlantic Coast Conference was already making it's mark as one of the premier basketball conferences in the country when they were able to acquire Syracuse and Pittsburgh from the Big East. But with Wednesday's news that the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame will be moving to the ACC, Jeff Goodman of CBSsports.com writes just how devastating a loss this is to the Big East.
The Big East has become "the poster child" for conference realignment, becoming a revolving door ofmovement since 2004. Matt Norlander walks us through the Big East realignment throughout the past decade.
