Just curious, what makes you so certain Duke will fall off the map when Krzyzewski retires?
I can't imagine why any top coach would pass on Duke. Let's just say Shaka Smart for example. Why not? In basketball he's a recognized name already. He'll have the Duke name behind him. He'll step into a situation where he has the potential to win immediately. And like magic....the recruits will keep pouring in because they love Duke basketball and they see success is still to be expected.
Does VT have a package deal clause with Zima?

You Hokies haven't been around long enough to understand the thought processes that run rampant in Chapel Hill
VT doing nothing while the ACC crumbles around them reminds me of Beamer doing nothing over the last few years when weaknesses in his coaching staff were obvious. Is there going to be a point where being in the ACC is as bad as being a VT football fan in 2012?
VT sucks!!! All of the players suck!!!! All of the coaches suck!!! The ACC sucks!!!
God you're ignorant
If I had to choose, it would be this:
1. ACC+ solids from Pitt, ND, FSU, Clemson, Miami, GT
-we get to keep our recruiting bed, keep road trips somewhat close but have premiere programs and money to be made with the likes of ND and resurgent FSU and Clemson.
2. B1G We fit better there culturally and the money we get back can't even be matched by the SEC. We get into the CIC and AAU status is all but guaranteed. The B1G has been down but they sure aren't losing any bowl bids or recruits over it.
3. SEC Amazing football atmosphere but I do not think we are a cultural fit there. Still, it would open up new recruiting ground for us and elevate the program, as well as the bank account.

i'd agree except that i highly doubt that clemson and FSU will stick around. feels like its only a matter of time, and i really dont want us to continue to add basketball schools.
I don't expect it to fall off the map, I just don't expect them to continue to be a top ten team annually. I doubt they bring in top recruiting classes yearly, even though they're duke
I'd say I expect them to be similar to ucla now
With everything that seems to come out of Chapel Hill on almost a weekly basis now I'm not sure it was even conceivable that anyone could have understood their thought process.
It's ludicrous to think that Duke wouldn't have their pick for a head coach when Krzyzewski retires; I fully expect Duke to continue contending annually for the ACC basketball title and tournament in addition to being a perennial top eight seed in the Big Dance. They will get players and will upgrade facilities accordingly when the time comes.
