If Kentucky were in the ACC they would not be "Kentucky" because they'd be sharing a conference with:
Syracuse
North Carolina
Duke
Louisville
Virginia.

Being in the SEC has made Kentucky what they are. If they were in the ACC and only winning their conference once or twice a decade they'd have a difference perception.

Much like kansas' dominance of the B12. Put them in the ACC, Pac or even the SEC for that matter with Kentucky and they are't the same team.

Don't mishear me, Kentucky is a Blue Blood in basketball and good for the league, but the league is equally as good for Kentucky.

If they had been in the ACC first they would have been the dominant school from the start. High school basketball is insane in the triangle (KY - IN - OH) and has been since the early days of college basketball.

The original school in the ACC was NC State and the coach that made them a force was Indiana's old coach.

Virginia is not a basketball school
Syracuse seems to be a 1 coach school
Duke seems to be a 1 coach school
Louisville would never bi in the ACC if Kentucky was there first

You sound young to not understand how much the ACC sucked in basketball before ESPN. Stall Ball played at UNC was painful to watch.
