Would UNC leave the ACC for the B1G?

Now you’re stuck again. You’re still probably hungover what UVA did to you and what Miami did. Your ass is owned and now you’re trying to lash out. Not even a good look Hoisery.
When one continues to repeat themselves it means they have nothing. I thought owning you would be a chore but I guess I over estimated you.
Hilarious is watching you repeating yourself like you’re tired or drunk. You really suck at this.
Would you two just fk already?!?
Money. I think the ACC is going to be in financial trouble compared to the other big conferences and could run the risk of being left behind in that regard.
I would prefer the SEC though.
Not irrelevant at all, but it can’t make up for not having (A) big football revenues, (B) fan presence in a big market or (C) a rich/large alumni base and academic war chest. It’s definitely down the list. But big basketball games draw more eyeballs than a lot of people think.
From what I've heard, Georgia Tech is actually one of the B1G's favorite targets if they were going to expand.
I would imagine that UNC would be up there as well.
Don't see any of it happening any time soon though. The SEC having no interest in FSU & Clemson kind of killed any hope of the ACC being picked apart.
My question is, when the ACC does inevitably get picked apart, would the most desirable schools (ND, FSU, UNC, UVA) want to go to the SEC or B1G?
Just because a school is AAU doesn't mean they are a lock for the B1G. Cash is king and the SEC is going to bring in the most money.

ACC would be dog poo if UNC left.
*not to demean other teams but ACC w/o UNC wouldn't be near the same.
I'd like for the SEC to snatch them up. They'd fit in great. Can't say the same for other ACC teams.

The Big Ten still distributes more money, and their renegotiated TV deal will likely keep them ahead of the SEC.
For stability? Absolutely. So, the questions become (1) How much do other factors like geography, history, sentimentality, etc. affect priorities and (2) How stable is the ACC now and in the future?
The Big Ten and SEC are in a league of their own as far as their member schools not having to worry about what the next ten years hold. Is what it is.
Football should be completely separate from all other NCAA sports and then the colleges can return to the traditional conference alignment from the 80's and 90's. The Football system is already seperate monetarily from the rest, so why does North Carolina basketball need to be in the same conference as Notre Dame football?
I legit was curious. I always figured Big 10 and SEC were the top two conferences. A program like Kansas in the Big 12, sure, absolutely make a move if you can, because who knows where the fvck you'll be in a few years. The ACC seems pretty stable to me at the moment. I'm sure there is monetary value in switching as well.
I've said this on my home board and got laughed at, but if I were the SEC I would raid the basketball schools and completely own both sports.
1) NCAA is losing leverage, there's a lot of money in basketball
2) Make your own CFP for conference championship that will kill any other conference in ratings.
3) Less non-cons by sprinkling in bball schools to your schedule throughout the season to keep the big dawgs at the top of the polls
4) Expands tv sets to new regions
5) Make rivalry games great again

I don't see it because it's all about football revenue, but I agree on one point, the SEC is all stocked up on big time football programs
A 5 game SEC football playoff of OU vs LSU and Notre Dame vs FSU, with each winner getting Alabama and Georgia
An SEC Elite Eight of Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, Duke, Louisville, Arizona, Arkansas, Texas
Why even play a national championship?
More money for sure but why would the Holes leave from a conference they control for another conference where they will wield no influence? I don't see the Holes giving up that power for more money.
South Carolina fans have a hard on for UNC. I think they're similar to NC State, fans and athletic departments.
I think it would all depend on how large the gap gets between the Big 10 and ACC in revenue.
If the gap gets too large, it turns into every man for themselves.
Yeah, I never really understood it. I know their athletics sort of suck but they don't really impact each other much.
I could certainly understand that but it's not like the Holes are hurting for cash.
That's the other thing, donations. They might not need conference revenue cash. I assume they get plenty through their alums. Hell, Michael Jordan is loaded. They could always hit him up for more money.
