Will adding all 4 NC/VA schools as mentioned...
by either the Big 10+8 or SEC be seen as a power move or as a sign of weakness or fear of the other P-2 conference? If UNC, NCSU, UVA and Tech are bundled together in a deal, I think both the Big 10 and SEC have different motives for adding those four. The Big 10 would love to go south an control the entire mid-Atlantic/upper Southeast but it seems like they would only want UNC and UVA and want Clemson, FSU and maybe Ga. Tech. The SEC would want to keep the Big 10 out of their geographic footprint but in order to succeed, I feel they would have to take FSU, Clemson along with 2 to 4 ACC public univeristies from VA and NC. The P-2 compromise would be to let the Big 10 and SEC take one ACC school from each state (NC and VA). I just wonder what a move like taking UNC, NCSU, UVA and Tech as a bundle would be perceived by the P-2 winner and P-2 loser. For example, if the Big 10 made the move, what would the SEC talkingheads be saying? I think the response would be the other P-2 conference (SEC in this case) quickly taking Clemson and FSU. FSU and CU and possibly Miami and maybe Ga. Tech to the Big 10 if the SEC takes the 4 from NC/VA.
