Did any of you catch the Greg Flugar thing on UNC and UVA?

I did not bother to watch the whole thing but did on why he thinks that UNC and UVA are joined at the hip. None of his reasons have anything to do with viewership numbers and all to do with relationships. One interesting point, and this is my take on what he said. UNC and UVA are like women going to the bathroom together, UVA and UNC see each other as full sisters, in everything. Academics rule athletics at both places and the SEC was and is seen as beneath them so neither can get by their academic side to go to the SEC alone but if the 2 bright beacons of virtue go together, then it changes things. That seems to be his view. Relationships matter and in some instances, hand holding matters.

Interesting you only mentioned ACC league related events

Ultimately we're talking about athletic conferences so it matters

Flugar is unwatchable. With respect to sister analogy

To your point, UVa was laughing harder than anyone during the UNC academic

I dunno - I don’t know that any school (in current environment) is attached

Flugaur is garbage. He had one contact, hit on the USC/UCLA move, that's it

They can *want* to be together, but when the rubber meets the road

I think you under sell the academic snobbery at those 2 places
VTCALS72 05/01/25 01:07 PM ET
I get the snobbery.

A part of it...

Not a bad idea, my combined conference would be the schools that care about

Go to football pods of 4 or 5 teams, and schedule the non revs

Or instead of quads and pods, call them conferences, say like the

I did. He talked about the UNC-UVa duo in several of his latest episodes.

Flugaur is a mouthpiece......

He has some B1G contacts obviously. But he has been wrong about Notre Dame
