I wanted and was told by insiders that we were headed to a P4 20 years ago.
but we already have the P2 set to make double the money of the ACC and B12. Plus many think it will triple or quadruple over the next 10-20 years. So that ship has already sailed. I also eventually see the P2 having their own basketball tournament. Then schools like Kansas in basketball and Notre Dame in football (two blue bloods in their respective sports) will not be able to participate if they are not in a P2. I am not telling you this because I want this, but I am telling you this because that's what both former heads of ESPN, John Skipper and Fox, Bob Thompson said. Those guys had a huge part hiring their replacements and run consulting businesses that are paid based on them knowing where we are going. Look up their YouTube videos talking about it, if you have not seen it.
One thing I have learned, you might hate the wave, but if you fight it, the wave will win. That's what is happening to Dabo at Clemson, and why Saban got out. Dabo is young enough to adapt, but for Saban, he doesn't feel like fighting the inevitable changes anymore.

UNC football is not an SEC Vibe. VT is, Clemson is, and maybe FSU **
