Don't Claim to know Much About North Carolina

Surely therefore would be expected to know even less about the hierarchy of the university systems across that state. I accept those both as facts. However I do know a lot about the university systems within another southern state. I know a lot from just reading statewide newspapers over many decades in Arkansas. The Board of Trustees is all powerful at the U of A in Fayetteville. Frank Broyles had the BOT support in never scheduling Arkansas State. Arkansas has never played Arkansas State in a college football game. Broyles always said Arkansas had everything to lose and nothing to gain in playing Arkansas State. The current AD at Arkansas has scheduled a football game in the future with Arkansas State. Yurachek did that at his discretion. It is the right thing to do. The state money should go to Jonesboro instead of some out of state football program that is paid to play the Hogs.. My point, nobody in the capitol in Little Rock or anywhere else tells the Board of Trustees in Fayetteville what to do. Even if the BOT and everyone in Fayetteville were wrong as with never scheduling ASU. The University of Arkansas receives state money with the purse strings held in Little Rock just like UNC gets state money from a purse in Raleigh. I understand all that. What I don't understand is how this Board of Governors in North Carolina just assumed control over the UNC BOT? Did the state government in Raleigh just legislate that control? Could UNC tell Raleigh to shove their money where the sun doesn't shine and tell the BOG to get a new hobby? Can somebody in North Carolina tell me who or what legally made this Board of Governors all powerful in the state university systems? What power does the BOG really have over UNC beyond funding? I don't think anyone at UNC would be jailed for none compliance.

U missed the Forest for 2 trees. What's your take on ACC survival 3 points?
Stech 05/27/24 09:50 AM ET
The state investment in the ACC is huge and un reported

It depends on the organization of public higher education by state
DMV Gobbler 05/28/24 04:36 PM ET
All very good points, which is why I think the BAACC is where we’re headed

One other point to consider with a BAACC

Pro tip: listen to all CR YouTubers on at least 1.5x speed.

The 3rd point about economic impact to the state of NC is fascinating...
jesuisvtguy 05/26/24 11:47 PM ET
Maybe this was a part of the Board of Govs thoughts all along.

The key to the ACC is North Carolina - not Clemson or FSU. Has been and

Simple answer to #1 NO. Bringing in USF to replace fsu and klempsun? LMAO
ancient alien 2018 05/27/24 12:39 AM ET
I agree the chances are slim of E$PN ponying up the cash
obguthr 05/27/24 09:28 AM ET
WRT USF, think about this. SMU brings in a whole new state AND is from
Maroon Baboon 05/27/24 12:52 AM ET
USF would be my #1 choice for ACC expansion if no B12 schools are available

One other thing to factor in......

Sometimes, I think we overstate ESPN's influence.

Not sure why he says add USF if FSU leaves. We'd still have Miami.
Maroon Baboon 05/26/24 10:09 PM ET
USF only gets added to the ACC if we lose both F$U AND Miami
obguthr 05/27/24 09:19 AM ET
No options left in those worth adding.

Not sure how that works
VaTechHokiesACC 05/26/24 11:05 PM ET
Sorry, but I just don’t see Clemson bolting
Marooned 05/26/24 09:33 PM ET
It all depends on what Fox, CBS and NBC want (at least money wise)
dayooper 05/27/24 04:49 PM ET
Agree - it really doesn't make sense for either FSU or Clemson to leave IF
