The Distraught Blue-Bloods

Notable Fans: UCLA, Indiana

We get it! The Bruins and the Hoosiers have a lot of National Championships! (16 combined to be exact) However, when the last National Championship was won over two decades ago, the term Blue Blood begins to fade.

Unlike Pittsburgh and Georgetown, who were great programs that fell into obscurity, UCLA and Indiana were elite teams that have since been unable to get over the hump. They are still great, traditionally among the best in the country, but fans have started pointing to rings that they won when the Berlin Wall was still standing.

These schools have not quite lost their blue blood status yet, but they can feel it fading and will use their words to keep it alive. Even good coaches are held to impossibly high standards, and anything less than consistent Final Fours will lead to calls for their job.
