Here is our North Carolina insider changing his pull over shirt to become a cohort of the official Locked on Razorbacks podcaster. He does say he lives in Joplin, Missouri in both videos Linked. However Joplin is just right across the border a few miles from NW Arkansas where the U of A is located. He is a lot farther away from Chapel Hill. However he sounds to me like he originated from above the Mason/Dixon Line. About 90% of what I gather in articles & videos put UNC in the SEC. Those sports programs he mentioned might be a concern. However they could still be played outside the SEC. I think Clemson is SEC due to the SEC never wanting the B1G to have that big a footprint in the south. I think FSU is gone to the B1G. I am also hearing lately that UVA is B1G bound. You have to think those meetings between Sankey & Petitti have been a give & take type arrangement. Sankey is from Pennsylvania so Petitti may be able to cut deals with Sankey not possible with previous SEC Comishs. However who knows what might happen when the SEC again gets an actual southerner as commissioner? ** Edited by WarHog38 at 5/8/2024, 7:21:23 PM

John Skipper former ESPN President IMHO wants UNC to the SEC, but he’s hit

UNC is fun. Tech fans outnumber Tarheel fans. **

Yeah that’s why I wouldn’t be surprised to see NCSU to the SEC, it fits

Keep an eye on Amazon as an ESPN partner to do direct sales, the Disney CEO

I wonder if the ACC would ever consider this
Millpoint 05/08/24 10:51 AM ET
The money until they expand th bball tournament is 80% football, Miami & VT
Stech 05/08/24 12:22 PM ET
Keep in mind, you are talking media money, not total revenue. VT makes more

I think they can make it, but we have lost our last two basketball coaches
Stech 05/08/24 03:11 PM ET
I don't think it's a black and white choice. There are a LOT

You still don't get it...........
2hhoop3 05/08/24 08:44 PM ET
Are you saying that college athletics exist because of who they compete
Big12 guy 05/08/24 08:54 PM ET
Nice try.......
2hhoop3 05/08/24 09:14 PM ET
First reread, I didn't say they would be cut, but I am worried about them
Stech 05/08/24 04:58 PM ET
I still remember a UNC professor talking crap about VT academics
HokieAl 05/08/24 12:02 PM ET
FSU and Clemson would drop their suits tomorrow, and ESPN would renew
Big12 guy 05/08/24 11:10 AM ET
UNC has been running the ACC, and we're pretty sure they have been...
EDGEMAN 05/08/24 10:54 AM ET
Don't forget they are also academic frauds.**
Hokester 05/08/24 04:48 PM ET
Interesting that you mention "home officiating".
Truthahn 05/08/24 12:17 PM ET
I assumed you (and most here) would feel that way**
Millpoint 05/08/24 11:01 AM ET
Makes sense. UNC fits the BIG better
HokieAl 05/08/24 10:32 AM ET
another thing.. State of UNC gave grant to the ACC
DMV Gobbler 05/08/24 10:29 AM ET
Those are some good points that I haven't seen made before. Maybe it's why
Stech 05/08/24 12:42 PM ET
I wonder how Miami feels about FL politician support for FSU?
Truthahn 05/08/24 12:40 PM ET
If FSU goes to the B1G, which right now I think they will, Miami may follow
Stech 05/08/24 12:50 PM ET
The NFL has changed
The_VT_Rock 05/08/24 01:25 PM ET
You sure you described that.........
2hhoop3 05/08/24 05:39 PM ET
Yep...they changed it last season
The_VT_Rock 05/09/24 09:41 AM ET
I didn't know that, good information and that certainly changes things.**
Stech 05/08/24 03:03 PM ET
dont doubt this
Vippie1 05/08/24 10:04 AM ET
Heck, UNC has been running the ACC since it's founding.**
