I dunno. Chapel Hill is a beautiful campus and Keenan stadium will fill up with an SEC schedule, same as ours will too.

UNC draws pretty well even with an ACC schedule, or at least they did back when I lived there. The problem is it was the ultimate wine and cheese crowd. I've never seen so many people make so little noise.

My point was that I’m not necessarily going to miss our football games with them. I agree that we both look better in SEC (or B10)

Not worry I was thinking of setting up withe a twitter account and act like a source and get prople to believe me. Not that I know crap but 99% of them don't.

If that's true, then gotta figure GT would be the only option for the B1G to get into the southeast (NCSU not AAU, Wake/Duke too small). We've already gone over the AAU factor and Atlanta market positives for us.

Need major outlet confirmation on this obviously. But if true that would drop both the PAC and AAC down to 10. Makes a 20 team scheduling agreement more convenient with each side having 10. Play 9 conference games each in FB.

I found this tweet below that seems to rebuke the first tweet.

From that article: "the Big Ten just feels wrong on many levels."

Based on what? I have always thought it made much more sense for ND than the ACC. And I maintain the idea of adding Navy is silly.

If you go by old history, ND petitioned to join the Big 10 on multiple occasions, and was rejected. This was about 100 years ago.

Another explanation of that same point- ESPN won't void a contract that is highly favorable to them.

I've been to all the ACC stadiums minus Syracuse, multiple times for most and many times for some. I'd rank the typical stadium atmospheres into tiers like this (not ordered within the tiers):

Rocking
  • Clemson
  • FSU
  • VPI (they bring a crowd and get hyped, especially if they're any good)
  • NC State (not much above Tepid, but they bring a crowd and seem to care about football

NCSU sells out a lot but they traditionally gave pass outs for fans to leave the stadium-hit the tailgate -and return- driving the coaches nuts.

All sports would do better in SEC. TV money and becoming Rutgers v SEC teams selling out and travelling to Atl. I think travel (lower cost) and stadium sales would make long term SEC a better bet. But we may not get a choice. And if one asks we have to go or be a second tier program for many years.

These guys are Big 12 homers. The reason why the rest of the Big 12 had to stick together was because no one else wanted them. Big 12 are hunters, lol. The PAC 12 would rather stick together than join the Big 12. It is pretty much SEC or Big 10 or bust. Nobody wants to join the Big 12 unless forced to.
 
What are the odds the ACC gets dismantled and Tech is on the outside looking in? What is to prevent us from landing in say, the AAC?
