Fans are way too focused on who is and is not a football school. The SEC Network needs content for 12 months out of the year, not just the football season (which it already has plenty of). UNC and UVA have great all-around athletic departments that would provide a ton of content during winter, spring, and summer. Finally, North Carolina is thoroughly Southern, and their fans will want absolutely nothing to do with a Midwest conference with trips to Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, etc. If UNC leaves the ACC it will be for the SEC. |

I would be pretty surprised to see one of the big four conferences offer both Duke and Carolina. That would give you two schools from the same state with no football draw.

V Tech is the sports draw. If there was a "Missouri Tech" and Missouri had been performing like UVA while the Tech school was like V Tech, then it wouldn't be a slam dunk Missouri would be the school they invite, especially if this fictional"M Tech" was located closer to St. Louis. Missouri had the markets, but they also had another former Big 12 school that was already joining. There were lots of reasons for the SEC to go that way. |

I'm not saying it won't be UVA and UNC, I'm just trying to look at motivations from those schools perspectives. Also, UNC's football program is going on probation. So, let me ask you, why do you think UNC and UVA would want to jump? Every indication screams thei commitment to the ACC. If the B!G is still a possible option, what do you think changes their mind? |

Chip Brown Orangebloods.com Two Big 12 sources told Orangebloods.com Tuesday there has been informal contact from Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech and Miami with the Big 12 about possible expansion. |

If so, what in the world makes you think the culture of the state and its fans are more Midwest than Southern? University leaders make these decision, but they need approval from fans or it will be a massive failure. UNC fans want absolutely nothing to do with a Midwestern Conference, losing all access to the Southeast region. The CIC is valuable, but it's not worth losing all sense of identity. UNC to the Big Ten makes no sense at all. |
