*Preface*
There are 10 worlds and every world is a little different thanks to where the best coaches are at, and the randomness of where elite recruits are generated. So not everything I write is accurate in ALL worlds, so specific examples of something happening in a few worlds doesn't really make my opinion inaccurate since I'm not saying these things are absolute.
*/Preface*
ACC
Doesn't North Carolina and Duke being great schools in almost every world counteract the claim that it less desirable to be there? They eat up the great talent while North Carolina St, Wake Forest, and Virginia Tech pick up the crumbs. ACC is usually the top conference in bonus cash, so the elite schools can clean up the overseas internationals.
Miami actually does quite well despite its low baseline. They snap up Puerto Rico recruits since they are the only ones within 1400 miles. The rest of the state depends on the strength of Florida/Florida St, but I think it is a good school to be at.
BC is good as you get the ACC money without having to deal with battling the majority of the ACC schools.
PAC 12
Agreed on the NW. If you are King in that area in can be very nice as you can also pick up recruits in the upper Rocky Mountain states. When you have 3-4 good schools, it's trouble with the number of solid recruits. PAC 12 is interesting as you don't have to deal too much with other conferences unless it's international or a strong Colorado snooping in.
Big East
I don't have much experience in this conference. Syracuse is a great area. There's a Canadian city within 360 that you can get cheap recruits from. UConn always does well. I spent some time at West Virginia, not a good time. ACC gets what they want. Louisville must be an awful place to recruit from.
Big 12
Colorado is a place I don't understand, they are generally very good, if not championship contenders in many worlds, but the coaches there can't wait to leave.
Texas Tech is an island, although joehof had an incredible run in one world there.
Texas is nicely located to everywhere in Texas and can reach into Louisiana if need be. I've had tons of success at Oklahoma, to the detriment of Oklahoma St.
Iowa St and especially Nebraska are terrible to be at.
SEC
Kentucky is the worst A+ baseline school IMO. You are in the middle of 3 conferences, and the SEC is usually weak, so you are getting less cash.
LSU is King in the area and can reach into Texas.
I don't usually see the deep south schools have much success. Perhaps it is like the NW, where if the rest are weak, one can thrive.
Big 10
Michigan St is always elite. I would avoid coaching Indiana, Purdue, Iowa, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Penn St at all costs. Wisconsin and Minnesota are far enough away from other conferences, that they do well.
