Carolina BOT Chair Calls for ACC Transparency

This about sums up what realignment is about -- small market vs. large market. And what it all means moving forward in a new age of college sports and paying athletes. I will be surprised if UNC does not file the next lawsuit to exit the ACC. BOT Chair John Preyer points out that Clemson has a problem with not being able to see the details of the media contracts. It's one of the same issues FSU has been trying to resolve. But ESPN and the ACC does not wish to divulge those details. Discovery is half the battle. "I think that what Clemson is doing is 100 percent proof positive that a significant portion of the membership of the conference is unhappy,” UNC Board of Trustees chair John Preyer told Inside Carolina on Wednesday. “I don't see how it is in anyone's interest for the ACC leadership to try and browbeat its member schools from getting access to information and being transparent. And that's kind of the case Clemson is making. "I think this shows that what is supposed to be a member-based organization is not being led in a way that represents the best interests of all the members, but instead, it's really representing the bottom tier of the membership at the expense of the top tier, which is why Clemson and Florida State are doing what they're doing. I think that's just obvious."

That's why college boards need to exert themselves more aggressively.

I don't see how UNC can sue unless they can guarantee NCSt a P2 spot

I think it will be interesting to watch it play out, but I don’t think it’s

Not overreacting.....

Context matters. These statements are not random musings out of the blue.

News item: Realignment is tangentially about sports.**

You correctly describe sports as "the means."**

Yeah I saw that too...are we looking at a secession
mancunian 03/21/24 09:56 AM ET
IMHO in between, the Mag 7 work together to help each other land in a P2.

This all reads like a soap opera. Big houses of power install a puppet

I think for most of history conference leadership wasn't overly important
HokieNoVA 03/21/24 09:52 AM ET
But all of that had UNC written all over it.**
VTCALS72 03/21/24 08:12 AM ET
UVa, Dook, and WF get at least as much blame
