Word is the BIG extended offer to UNC to join conference

  • First off, Omega, if you're an Omega Psi Phi, I want to give you a shout out because they are our (SAE) brother fraternity on campus.

    Back on topic, straight from the ADs mouth, nothing is going to happen until the SEC and the B1G rework their contracts with ESPN after next year.

    If you're right ... if UNC would prefer to go to the SEC ... then that's probably where they will end up. The difference in money between the SEC and B10 will be negligible. But UNC better not expect to bring all of its ACC buddies with it to the SEC. The SEC will not be taking four schools from North Carolina. The SEC also won't be taking GT, Clemson or both UVA and VT. So if UNC joins the SEC, it will be leaving most of the ACC behind no different than if it joined the B10. In fact, with UMD already headed to the B10 and both UVA and GT high on the B10's wish list, more of UNC's traditional rivals probably will wind up in the B10 than the SEC. It also might matter what Duke wishes to do. If Duke/UVA/GT/UMD all head to the B10, it's not obvious to me that the SEC is a better fit for UNC.

    mr. woodson...i was told by an sec insider that the sec would take 4 teams from the acc to get north carolina. that would be north carolina and 3 of the following...duke, ncs, vt, or virginia. there is alot of info out there from people who don't know what they are talking about. i hope the acc survives, but you're crazy if you don't think slive is going to give carolina his best shot. in the end north carolina will not turn her back on her southern heritage and play football in a yankee conference. the sec can go to 20 teams too if it wants to. from my understanding fsu might be back on the table.

  • There is absolutely only one option of leaving the acc and that's the sec period! If Carolina ever wants to be a national football powerhouse it's the only chance they have can be done in the acc but will be hard!

    Unfortunately therein lies our problem at UNC, those making the decision don't care about our southern roots as almost none of them are from the south. Most of them are from the northeast/Midwest. Our AD, outgoing chancellor, and a few others are pushing SEC, but they have some work left to do.
