You are insane!
UCLA, Oregon, Arizona
Indiana, Ohio St., Mich, Mich. St, Maryland, Purdue, ILL, Wisconsin and Iowa
Florida is the sole SEC rep. But you can argue Mizzou, LSU, and Aggy...sadly the others might be very attractive since they are all big schools with big athletic budgets who underachieve with ball
Texas, OU (this is a good thing that there is not a lot of close comp)
And then the ACC...Syracuse, Louisville, NC St, GTech, (don't get why Miami can't excel)

The key phrase is "one can make the case."
All those programs have more history, but if we can become the Gonzaga of the AAC, then we will always have a seat at the table for basketball. Our conference is having a down year, but so long as Cincinnati, UCONN, Memphis, Houston, Temple, UCF and Tulsa are competitive we will be a four bid league. In addition we have great work life balance compared to the blue bloods. You are in a top city, and you can sell the academics. Money isn't as much of an issue compared to our football program. Our sanctions have hurt us more.
In my opinion, everything is subjective. the blue bloods are: Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, & UCLA (UCLA and Indiana aren't modern blue bloods, they have been recently tier 2 or 3 programs). Next tier is UCONN, michigan, Michigan state, Louisville, Ohio state, Arizona, Florida, Villanova, Syracuse and Gonzaga (there are others im probably forgetting but I made my point).
For many of the Tier 2 programs, one coach consistently winning is what made all the difference. Jank could be that steady hand at SMU. While I know Duke has had success before coach K, they could easily go down such as Indiana without the right coach. NCAA basketball is really a what have you done for me lately league due to the one and done situation.
You don't need P5 money to be competitive in NCAA basketball. We have all the facilities the P5 have. We just need tourney runs and to start getting a pipeline to the NBA again
