But I doubt either conference really wants 2 schools from either state. Conference expansion is all about money, and the most money would be made by each of the P-2 conferences dividing up NC and VA by each taking 1 school from each state. Now maybe some outside forces will try to intervene to prevent that from happening. Maybe the political forces in the states will try to keep the state schools together, or maybe ESPN wants to keep all 4 schools under their umbrella and pushes the SEC to take all 4. I honestly hope something like that happens, as I personally would prefer all 4 schools to stick together. But I just don't think that's the most likely outcome. As long as all 4 schools make it into the P-2 then that's still a win as far as I'm concerned. There's no reason why the schools couldn't keep playing each other out of conference. I still think it was so stupid that Texas and Texas A&M didn't keep playing their annual football game, but I don't think there is the same level of animosity between UNC and NCSU or UVA and VT that would cause them to stop playing each other the way the Texas schools did. ** Edited by tarheelblue at 3/27/2024, 1:46:27 AM
