Is Michigan St the next blue blood if they win the FF?

- Start date
Nope. Just like USC 2004 doesn’t for football.
BUT, since everyone cheats, hard to ignore too. Arguments for both sides
I mean, the term blue blood means old money. Generational money. If the money entirely comes from the current patriarch (or matriarch, this is 2019 after all), then its new money.
New money is not found in blue blood families.
Top 3-4 for sure
Nebraska football was maybe the same, or top 5, at the turn of the century. But...20 years changes things.
Duke won in 2015. We have already established that they are not yet a blue blood. It will count if a future coach wins a championship but as of now, Duke is no different than a meth addled powerball winner.
Indiana fell. UCLA is falling hard and that 5th spot about to become void
Helms Titles count. Only new money rednecks think that older titles are irrelevant
Ehh I can’t get with it.
Modern Era football
Tourney era b-ball
Hard for me to be biased toward that. Even tho I’d love to claim 5. But 3 it is.
Well, we count them. If you want to be the black sheep pariah that disrespects his wealthy elders, then you must tread that path alone.
I can assure you that Mr. Naismith and Mr Allen count the Helms trophies.
He just has white guilt. They count whether or not he chooses to vote for Hillary.
Only poors would differentiate between the 2. You are embarrassing yourself, man.
No it’s being honest. And hungry for a 4th tourney era natty. Which should have happened this decade with the teams we’ve had. That’s what’s embarrassing.
Should Michigan claim leather helmet football natties from the 20’s? No.
I blame it on the now negative connotation of allowing the nanny to paddle the child.
Love Izzo, but Tech I think wins and then loses to UVA my man.
Final Fours Since 1984-1985
1. Duke: 12
2. UNC: 10
3. Kansas: 9
4. Kentucky: 8
4. MSU: 8
Modern day basketball began when the NCAA expanded this tournament to a field of 64 in 1985. The 3 point line didn't even get implemented uniformly till 1986.
MSU is a top 5 program in modern day college hoops.

I agree them, UConn, Villanova and Syracuse round out the top 8 of the last 30 years.
Blue blood and modern era doesn't really go hand in hand.
All all time stats, history, tradition, relevance decides blue blood IMO.

Sarcasm? Bc you know Capel will be the coach there and it’s teed up with him at Pitt right now getting experience and traction
You don’t think UCLA is a blue blood?
Just 11 natties since 1960
Three peat of final fours in the 2000’s
Not like they’ve been dead money since 2000.
