If we make the playoffs and/or manage to have good tv numbers there is hope for us to potentially get a BIG invite. Our biggest issue is we haven’t been relevant in years. The last time we were actually ranked was 2016. Memories are short. Being ranked and having some buzz (pun intended) will...
This was a really good podcast discussion. The first time that I ever heard about UNC being asked to join the SEC in 2009. The former chancellor’s discussion about the dynamics of competing interest for UNC and NC state affiliated board members hit home.
I couldn’t find a copy of the board’s opinion again but this article references the opinion focusing on revenue generation by the basketball team.

I just can’t see that being reality. If it is, then I wonder if ESPN is secretly hoping to destabilize the ACC to cut its obligations to the ACC sooner rather than later.
They don’t have a leg to stand on. I can’t see any federal court (in North Carolina especially) siding with them. It seems they are just hoping to get the 572 million number reduced to 60% like Maryland did.
That’s a lot of transfers the last few days. I wonder did we jump the gun celebrating the lack of transfers. Here’s hoping the staff can bring in better players who can contribute for several years.
I see where you are going but it’s just not a realistic scenario. The NFL has rules and agreements in place between the players union and its owners to limit/prohibit a lot of these scenarios you’ve mentioned along with a commissioner to enforce all agreements. College football doesn’t have any...
