Thanks for the answers......

the audit is not a bad thing and I wondered if Meekins might vote for it or whether others would vote No. I suspect Meekins vote was the principle of the matter as opposed to real objection given that it is my understanding these deficit budget projections have been around since COVID so it should not have been a surprise. I expect the woman arguing along with Boliek was Jen Evans and both were posturing/grandstanding for political and other purposes. The question about Turner was he is the only one with industry expertise and knowledge that could have offered informed perspective. As far as Roberts, I am sure he kept quiet as this is not his hill of choice given the opposition to his interim appointment and the fact the DEI vote went in his favor coupled with the fact this was mostly a set up with it known Cunningham would be in Amelia Island. Thursday's meeting should be interesting.

UNC is a lot like Texas when it comes to the ACC and Big12.**

People often don’t consider your 1st point, but you’re 100% correct.

Yeah but what if the money in the XII drops to
VTCALS72 • 05/16/24 10:16 PM ET
You consistently underestimate the B12. **
Big12 guy • 05/17/24 04:20 PM ET
I don't think I do. I just don't believe it is a conference of destiny
VTCALS72 • 05/17/24 05:44 PM ET
Let me rephrase, because the B12 is just a name of a conference
Big12 guy • 05/17/24 06:57 PM ET
Does Utah and the AZ schools see it that way?
VTCALS72 • 05/18/24 08:32 AM ET
So when does the XII go? If we don't need a PAC or an ACC, we don't need
VTCALS72 • 05/16/24 12:33 PM ET
call the conference whatever you want, but it appears we are going to end
Big12 guy • 05/16/24 12:42 PM ET
See that is where we totally disagree. There are 2 conferences
VTCALS72 • 05/16/24 01:33 PM ET
Think of it as one big conference with three divisions for scheduling. One

The ACC is an athletic conference, not an academic one. **
Big12 guy • 05/15/24 02:59 PM ET
Not completely true
VTCALS72 • 05/15/24 04:21 PM ET
The academic one is largely a marketing slogan.
marcbvtgm • 05/16/24 07:47 PM ET
Well, OK, it's was the reason the PAC did not want to expand
Big12 guy • 05/15/24 04:26 PM ET
Lets wait a bit on that.
VTCALS72 • 05/15/24 05:33 PM ET
it's possible - but as you know, i think the end game is already

Big12 guy • 05/15/24 05:48 PM ET
I don’t want to be in this proposed version of the ACC**
mancunian • 05/15/24 05:12 PM ET
They probably have received an under-the-table offer from a P2 conference.
