Fluguar lost all credibility by saying UNC and UVA are "joined at the hip"

Wasted 30 minutes of my life so you don't have to. He said UNC/UVA are in his words "joined at the hip" to leave the ACC because of their academics, are on the same page about every major ACC decision and being the South's oldest rivalry. He thinks UNC will get UVA into SEC/BIG. Right off the bat you know he made everything up because UNC and UVA have been on opposite sides of every major conference move the last 20 years. UVA took the lead in suing FSU/Clemson, was instrumental in getting the votes for SMU and Calford and voted for VT joining (admittedly not 100% voluntarily). Meanwhile UNC was absolutely against all of it. UVA's leadership have said only positive things about the ACC and condemned FSU/Clemson. UNC higher ups have said the opposite. Also UNC/UVA is not the South's oldest rivalry. UGA and Auburn started playing each other earlier and played the same number of games. No one at UNC or UVA cares about their "rivalry." VT is UVA's biggest rival by far and the only school that they care about. For UNC there are at least 3 bigger rivalries and all of them are more joined to UNC's hip than UVA. Finally, let's just assume for fun it's true that UNC and UVA are "joined at the hip." No one in the SEC/BIG cares. They're not going to let rookie UNC invite whoever it wants only to let it weaken the conference. Take everything Fluguar says with a grain of salt.

Might be right on this 1, UNC loves UVA according 2 ESPN sources, and

ESPN sources......

Exactly what is happening IMHO, but Va Tech &UVA would be better off in B1G**
Stech 03/28/25 11:23 PM ET
Yeah, that's just silly to think it is actually true.**
reestuart 03/28/25 01:56 PM ET
The south's oldest and most irrelevant rivalry.**

Good Old-Fashioned Apathy**

Sounds like one of the few things he may get right actually. **

I'm afraid you're wrong about almost everything in this post.
Baltimore_Hokie 03/28/25 09:58 AM ET
Actually I am not making a comparison to VT at all
VTCALS72 03/28/25 01:07 PM ET
"...both of which would be much more lucrative for ND"

"Kinda" ??
TerryD 03/28/25 11:56 AM ET
Think ND is open to a Big East re-up w/Duke/Cuse/UConn/BC/Cal/Stanford/etc?
hokieZ71 03/28/25 01:22 PM ET
Yes.
Baltimore_Hokie 03/28/25 03:22 PM ET
I think they just see the $. **
Big12 guy 03/28/25 12:14 PM ET
ND has all the money it needs and more.

I meant the posters on this board thinking that they will join a

Even so, when it comes to building conferences, UNC/UVA2SEC makes sense
hokieZ71 03/28/25 07:44 AM ET
I think UVA / UNC to the Big Ten makes more sense than the SEC and
MVIII 03/28/25 10:02 AM ET
This is the best case scenario for VT getting into the P2.
Maroon Baboon 03/28/25 10:24 PM ET
false narrative.......
1947Sunbowl 03/28/25 07:04 AM ET
UVa hates(sports related) UNC as much as VT
MrFantastic! 03/28/25 06:58 AM ET
You’re dead wrong about UVA Carolina…
ombandit 03/28/25 02:00 AM ET
Does UNC care?**
HokiesACC2004 03/28/25 05:31 PM ET
First of all what does "joined at the hip" even mean?
