Several of the teams mentioned ITT could soon be considered elite if they keep it up. It will come down to things like back-to-back-to-back-to-back Sweet Sixteens or better, consistently winning NCAA games they're supposed to win, consistent success in landing elite recruits, financial health of the athletic dept., etc.

Making the switch?
Here’s some advice from Terry Dahl for any other Wildcats looking to join Jayhawk Nation:

Be open and up-front about it. Dahl sent an email to family and friends, and he encourages others not to be shy coming out of the purple closet. “It feels better when you get it off your chest,” he says.
Fair-weather fandom? Forget it. “I’m totally against that type of behavior. You have to be on board: All KU, or all K-State. One way or the other. It’s weak, in my own mind, to root for KU in basketball and K-State in football.”
Shed the purple fashion — the T-shirts, the ’Cat paws and everything else. “I got rid of it. There isn’t anything purple in my house. If somebody’s truly a KU fan or a K-State fan, you shouldn’t have clothing from the other school.”

Aside from how self-evidently stupid this is, there is also the fact that KU is in decline and K-State is on the rise, in all areas. Converts are always the most zealous believers, so I guess it will be a while before the cognitive dissonance sets in.

I think it's understood that this is a men's bball poll. Obviously they're one of the bluest of the bluebloods for women's bball.

Man, can you imagine being Louisville or NC State? Knowing your rivals are national powerhouses UK and UNC (respectively)? That would be something.

Our rival probably looks at us with similar levels of fear and awe. They can't seem to beat us, either here or in Austin.

Anyway, looks like the voters have chosen Duke as the most elite college basketball program. Congrats Duke, bluest of the bluebloods.
