This is very eye- opening

Players and parties and the inner workings of the ACC.... and the influence of Sutton the retired Founder of ISP now part of huge leerfield. a couple of take aways. NC State thought UNC -CH were a package, and when the UNC Chancellor for the UNC system was told that UNC -CH will be fine,, but not NC State. That was eye-opening. And UNC -CH didnt realize that would go to NC State chancellor. boom... this might have broken a long term 'closeness' between the 2 schools. I think its interesting now, that UNC University System is demanding oversight on all UNC campuses on ANY discussions to outside conferences without the oversight of the UNC chancellor. Kinda clipped UNC-CH wings. Also lets see that translate to some legislation in the NC General Assembly. Sutton, statements to NC State.... was very eye opening.... and very pragmatic

In time anything could happen

If there is an academic litmus test options reduce.
HOO86 10/21/23 03:57 PM ET
I doubt Big 12 gets along **
MrFantastic! 10/23/23 06:04 PM ET
You could be right.
HOO86 10/23/23 08:46 PM ET
I get the feeling those 3 would have preferred to stay
mrcaniac 10/23/23 10:16 PM ET
Agree - not likely. Even when the TV contract ends there is still
WBGV 10/19/23 01:24 PM ET
I thought the exit fees are negotiable.
mrcaniac 10/19/23 04:14 PM ET

Mercury 10/19/23 10:54 AM ET

Vippie1 10/19/23 10:58 AM ET
I don’t see any school turning down an offer from the B1G or the SEC
WBGV 10/19/23 01:55 PM ET
The key point, is UNC Chapel Hill does not have independent operation
Mercury 10/20/23 08:53 AM ET
that is why UCLA is paying some punitive damages to Cal
Vippie1 10/20/23 11:22 AM ET

Mercury 10/20/23 01:33 PM ET
