re: Is Kentucky the most important SEC member?

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.

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.
