gt and uva decision to leave acc will be announced on monday...........

UVA? When did they get back in the picture?
UNC+VT >>>> Maryland+Rutgers+UVA+GT in terms fan base. The BigTen is only helping the SEC out in my opinion.

Is acc armageddon imminent?? I can say that if the second is holding a spot for a vt, the announcement for them to leave for the second would be made within weeks of uva's announcement

There's two goals here. 1) They want the TV markets mostly. 2) They're cherry picking shitty teams in those markets so their traditionals like Ohio St and Michigan won't have to be challenged competitively.

i wouldnt mind that but even though these two seem joined together i just cant see them leaving the acc rivalries in basketball.

If UNC is gonna leave the ACC, the B1G would take them before GT.

I doubt the SEC will take both UNC and Duke since taking the other one doesn't expand their footprint.

UNC is the ultimate prize in this expansion deal.

The Big Ten knows it. The SEC knows it.

The SEC will take Duke if it means getting Carolina.

The problem is the BoT for UNC is the same for NCST.

So they can't split until both of them are happy. That means UNC needs to make NCST happy with getting into the Big XII because they won't ever be in the Big Ten and the SEC won't take 3 Carolina teams.
