I saw this discussion on here last night as well. I don't


see how UVA can consider themselves a blueblood. That means you are basketball royalty. Somebody commented that Gonzaga has been better than UVA for a longer time and still not in the blueblood camp. I would agree with that.

The time frame for them is way too short at this point and not good enough at the highest of levels. Being one of the better ACC teams doesn't make them a blueblood.

Nobody outside of those a small group on Thesabre thinks they are a blueblood. Win 25-30 games per season for another 20 something years and win another title or too and make several final fours, then they can start to be in the discussion.
