NC contributed 20-30 million to the ACC to relocate the ACC HQ to Charlotte. It also gave ACC huge tax breaks. With that they got most of the acc sports championships, including football, basketball (charlotte/ Greensboro), baseball charlotte etc. This is the same state that oversees their universities with the UNC university system. While UNC and their wealthy alumni think they can jump, they are not like their brethren at Duke. They are part of the UNC system, and they cant simply jump, no matter if you are Jordan or any of their CEO's lobby. The state of NC got ahead of this (after seeing the UCLA/ University of California controversy, and they wanted to make sure they have the oversight and governance. They got it now. UNC (and their trustees) better get their homework together, the trustees are finding out, they are not the ultimate governance of UNC Chapel Hill its the board of governors.
