Have to agree. UNC would be the prize...

Even if it's about football, UNC basketball is big and the SEC having both UNC and Kentucky would be huge for that conference. North Carolina is one of the fastest growing states and that market will only improve over the years. I keep hearing Clemson, FSU and Miami to the SEC. The SEC would get stronger and wealthier adding the states of North Carolina and Virginia. I don't think the SEC wants the B1G going south. Those two egotistical power conferences will fight it out. I also keep reading that both those conferences want to max out at 20 members. Notre Dame is certainly one of the remaining eight Power 2 candidates. I can't see the SEC or B1G passing up FSU, Clemson and UNC. I'm not big on Miami. I just don't see the infatuation with them. Maybe "The U" finally lives up to their potential and wins the ACC in the next few years? Based on the last decade, Miami isn't that attractive. Florida and FSU may be enough from that state. Will the B1G add a few more Pac-12 schools to get to 20 or will they try to add AAU schools UVA, UNC and GT from the ACC?

AAU is about research dollars. In academic circles, classroom and research

Yep. Nebraska was added when they knew they were losing AAU. ND’s not AAU

As much as I hate to admit it, UNC is really a prize for any conference

Don't look for any current ACC team to sponsor VT for membership...
