Nebraska? They fell out of that category.

Notre dame is a has been. So is nebraska. Nebraska will never win a natty again, they are in a horrible area for recruiting and other programs have passed them up. It's over for nebraska and has been for a while now. Notre dame is about the same as nebraska. I don't see them winning a natty anytime soon. They've taken a drop in national perception, other teams have passed them up as well. Notre dame and nebraska are historical programs but they aren't like they used to be and I don't think nebraska ever will be again.

Arizona State is not even on your list for college baseball
ASU is as much of a true college baseball blueblood as Texas, LSU, Miami and USC
Those are pretty much the Big 5 baseball programs throughout history
The two greatest sluggers came out of ASU
Reggie Jackson
Barry Bonds

Notre Dame and Nebraska are no longer blue bloods. And they never will be.

Blue bloods is a terrible term
It's like using carpetbagger

In roundball I have:

BIG 4 in basketball
#1 Kentucky
#2 North Carolina
#3 Kansas
#4 Indiana
UCLA was a 1 coach wonder, and Duke has yet to prove they can win it all after coach K calls it quits. 2 on the radar would be Connecticut and Louisville as both have the prestige and modern winning under multiple coaches to go the distance in the future. Michigan State will probably do well post Izzo but that is not certain now.

Florida isn't a blue blood in hoops or baseball, hell not even football

Florida is probably a tier 3 blue blood in hoops
If Tennessee is still tier 2 in football, then GA Tech is still tier 3

Duke is definitely a blue blood in basketball.
16 final fours ranks third, 5 national titles ranks fourth. They are more of a blue blood than Kansas or Indiana for sure.
Basketball:
Kentucky
UNC
Duke
UCLA
Kansas

You are getting down votes, but your rankings are pretty spot on

I have followed college basketball for over 1/2 a century and been to most venues and lots of live games. I can assure you Kansas and Indiana are more blue bloods that UCLA and Duke.
UCLA without Wooden would not be an elite team. They had Papa Sam and more open recruitment of African Americans which was an anomaly the same way Miami Hurricane football was an anomaly between Miami area recruiting, thug ball, and the cocaine cowboys were and anomaly in college football.
Duke without coach K would be #3 or #4 in the ACC at best. I have been to games in Cameron and unless it is a big TV game, it is a lame environment. In addition, Duke fans (or lack of live Duke fans) are bandwagon at best and do not actually follow the sport to speak intelligently about it.
Indiana and Kansas can fill large venues with ease and both have active and knowledgeable fan bases. Like UNC and UK, they could easily build 20K + arenas and sell them out. I am old enough to remember the old Big Four games in the old RCA Dome and was there in person enough to verify the veracity of Indiana basketball and basketball fans to say they are elite. I have also been to enough road games where Kansas was involved to verify they are similar to IU, UK, and UNC.
