Pretty good overview IMO (I live in the Boston area). My summary might be: BC is Notre Dame if it had Cal’s football program. In fact, athletically, a comparison to Cal isn’t bad. Extensive athletic program. Spotty football program. Big, pro-dominated metro area. Nice but overbuilt campus. Academics less of a draw to athletes than we think they should be. BC lost its traditional rival, Holy Cross, to one realignment (I-AA/FCS) and its regional conference (Big East) to another through league incompetence (in this case, rejecting Penn State). The bad news has been that ACC membership does not seem to have been successful in terms of public interest, recruitment, and on-field performance.
