In a modern sense, what does being a blue blood actually mean?

Blue bloods are elite teams over a long period.

If we go back to the start of the BCS era til now, some of the original blue bloods wouldn't make the list.
 
Because Duke, Kansas, UCLA and Kentucky all have blue in their colors. Those 4 teams are the heart and soul of college basketball.

I mean, in the last 5 years, only one natty has been claimed by a blue blood and it was in that 2020 Covid season.

UGA, the Florida schools, LSU and Clemson have had more success in my lifetime than any of the blue bloods other than Bama and Ohio State.

Brian Kelly just left a blue blood for LSU

Is it the dawn of the new bloods, or do we still care about what teams did when our grandparents were children?

2. 2 national titles by blue bloods. 😏
 
Is blue blood a lifetime title? If Neb doesn't make a bowl for the next 20 years in a row, can they still be seen that way?

If your HC leaves for a blue blood, you aren't one. Those 6% ers are wrong.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen Washington even mentioned in the same thought as blue bloods. But also, fuck Deboer, he made a terrible decision.

And to the point of the OP, as things stand right now, what does that status even mean for half the generally accepted 8? Oklahoma, ND, they’ve both have coaches leave. USC, Nebraska, who would want to be them?
 
Is Princeton a blue blood for football?

Agreed. I've never seen UW as a BB, even in their prime back in the 80's/90's when recruiting was at its apex.

I also agree some of those 'been BB forevs' that aren't cutting it anymore should have a pause on that status until they reclaim it by force.
