I'm aware of that.
What percentage of americans would you guess know, off the top of their head, that VPI=Viginia Tech?

UNC shares a Board of Regents with NC State, so UNC is unlikely to get approval to leave the ACC (and effectively kill the conference) without finding a proper landing spot for NC State first. Even then, it may be tough to split the two schools up. In Virginia, UVa pulled a ton of political strings to get Va Tech into the ACC less than a decade ago. It would be hard to see Va Tech being able to bounce to the SEC that quickly unless UVA either didn't want to go or knew they had a Big Ten invite in their back pocket. If the ACC does get poached, it is going to be ugly because some schools are going to lose their spot in the game of musical chairs. Wake Forest fans are probably shitting bricks right about now; they are about to become the next Tulane. |

I think the ACC really pissed off Mike Slive by backing out of the top 1-4 seeded playoff and instead going with Jim Delaney's all conference champs model. |

I agree, there's a lot of political battles, a lot of pressure from all sides, and a whole lot of money.

Also, the Big 12 is reportedly very skittish about Miami. The feeling is that they are a bit radioactive despite their prime location and high viewer ratings.

Apparently, some Clemson fans are tailgating outside of where the BOT meeting will be

All my point is that I see UNC as a much, much higher profile school than Clemson. If UNC were added to the Big 12 I'd be "ecstatic". If Clemson joins I'll be "sure, why not". |

Yes, but all the rumors come from people that have been both hit or miss. That's why they are rumors. Nobody is asking anyone to take these rumors as gospel, but that doesn't mean there aren't elements of truth to them, or at the very least, primary motivations. What the actual end product will be will only be known when official announcements are made.

He's had too many hilarious misses for me to take him seriously, misses that from the outside looking in might have seemed reasonable, but that even casual big 12 fans would know better than to predict. For example, he recently predicted (based on his imaginary sources) that the Big 12 would agree to let the LHN show high school games. A lot of people have forgotten that by now, but at the time he was roundly mocked by Big 12 fans and called out for making stuff up.
