ND and UNC. People are making giants leaps with this P2. Below ND and UNC you have some quality schools which will not increase per team payout (what existing members will mainly be considering) and would just be territorial grabs. Clemson/FSU aren’t included in the ND/UNC bucket partially because I don’t see SEC schools wanting to prop them up. ND is available but UNC is not due to GOR. We could be stationed here for a without next level thinking and partnerships.

ND is potentially unavailable as well due to their contractual agreements -- tarheelblue Jul 03, 2022 at 08:44 PM ET
