Coming to a Head if You Listen to What Greg Flugaur Mostly Insinuates

Listening to Flugaur and simply connecting the dots. The UNC internal network of administrators are somewhat at war with each other. In particular factions that support the ACC or moves to either the SEC or B1G. That war at UNC has been going on a couple of years and presently the faction that favors the SEC move appears to be winning out. Mostly due to the present UNC Chancellor and many of the Trustees being pro SEC. However as Flugaur points out, all these SEC advantages could change if things just are put on hold several years. What I have seen on all this over the years. I think Flugaur is exactly right about constant change in these administrator's both in personnel & mentality. Bubba Cunningham who is the UNC AD, is strongly ACC. Flugaur is implying that the UNC Trustees have orchestrated an audit of the UNC athletic department to paint Cunningham as a poor administrator. Flugaur is also relating a closed meeting is taking place on Thursday among the UNC Board of Trustees. Flugaur says he has also heard that legal experts will be at that Thursday meeting to discuss something? Flugaur also says that a lawsuit by UNC against the ACC would be a tipping point against the ACC. I have heard Flugaur say the UNC whales are working on the North Carolina Board of Governors seeking approval to file that lawsuit. Flugaur does use his own wordings to reach conclusions. A person has to watch him repeatedly to really read him.

mancunian • 05/14/24 11:14 AM ET
What happens first: ESPN opt-out, or the start of WWIII?**
MP4VT2004 • 05/14/24 07:03 PM ET
Yes, but not as short as the resolution of the House case.

2hhoop3 • 05/14/24 10:27 AM ET
worst case is VT in the gentleman's conference(wake, duke, bc, etc)**
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/14/24 10:16 AM ET
worst case for VT is stay in smaller ACC with new media payouts below B12**
HokieAl • 05/14/24 10:07 AM ET
Nope, the worst case is for UVA and UNC to go to the SEC
VTCALS72 • 05/14/24 01:22 PM ET
My guess is that smaller ACC would receive a LOT less media money
HokieAl • 05/14/24 01:40 PM ET
Yep, in half if we're lucky. But probably even less.**

I think some are too caught up in geography with the SEC as well. There

The WVU horror stories are Real
Sunsetunderground • 05/14/24 02:38 PM ET
I think the Big 12 would also take VT. Short sighted on my end, but
VTFan29 • 05/14/24 12:26 PM ET
maybe a little more revenue for a lot more cost

obguthr • 05/14/24 10:44 AM ET
B12 is much, much better than a watered down ACC.

VPI 1924 • 05/14/24 11:44 AM ET

HokieAl • 05/14/24 11:02 AM ET
I'm assuming (and I could be wrong)
mancunian • 05/14/24 11:13 AM ET
Either ACC, Big12 or equivalent
