He has less than zero facts about the ACC, he says it’s about 🏈 & not 🏀,
then he talks about 🏀 schools first going to the P2. The B12 has a history with Yormark, of using these blabber heads to try to tear down a Conference. He glosses over the recently passed legislation that the North Carolina committee of state schools has to approve any school changing a Conference. That’s HUGE and he glosses over it. Virginia has more of gentlemen’s and gentlewomen’s agreement across the political aisles, but he doesn’t mention it, because he doesn’t know squat about Virginia politics. He also acts like two schools from the same state aren’t happening. USC and UCLA same city, Texas and Texas A&M same state. How about Michigan and Michigan State? How about Alabama and Auburn? How about Ole Miss and Mississippi State? How about Tennessee and Vanderbilt? The SEC (ESPN) we know is a rivalry conference. The B1G (Fox) is IMHO is trying to leverage their lead into the NFL on Sunday with B1G games. So their model is to take schools in NFL towns. Miami check, Florida State close enough to NFL cities, thus I could see both of those going to the B1G someday.
Here is how I see the two Virginia schools and North Carolina schools:
Option 1, whichever P2 will take all 4 of us first
Option 2, two to one P2 and two to another
Option 3, all 4 stay in the ACC and go get schools like USF, Tulane, Rice and Connecticut, Colorado State etc.
Option 4, I really can’t see us getting there, but if the first 3 don’t work, small chance to the B12. Probably the same chance as WVU getting in the ACC.
PS Hilarious he knocks down the rumors that USF and East Carolina turned down the B12, but this has legs while either not mentioning or just glossing over the facts.
