I don’t believe a word any of these assholes say 
I can’t believe y’all actually listen to these assholes.
Zero doubt in my mind the SEC will go and poach UNC and UVA for new markets and massive brand names. Imho it’s not that Clemson and Florida state aren’t great brands but it ain’t new territory
Edit: when they do, who knows. But y’all are insane if you think sankey isn’t eye fricking UNC and UVA

New territory matters less now than last time new teams were added. Now it's about creating compelling matchups that will sell (i.e. FSU v. Tennessee sells a lot more than UVA v. Tennessee, etc.)

SEC and Big 10 will put stuff out in the press like this every single day until the day they in fact do add new schools.
They want everyone to know that they are in fact not tortuously interfering in anyone’s conference contracts, they would never ever ever think of poaching a school from another conference. Innocence in appearance will have to do where innocence in fact likely doesn’t exist …
Of course, it’s all moot anyway, ACC schools have a grant of rights that no one has figured a plausible way out of yet. ESPN would rather not pay more for these schools vs the locked in ACC rate, and Fox probably sees diminishing returns now that the B10 stretches across 3 corners of the country.

Yea, it's all bullshite. Sankey can say whatever he wants because he is in a position of power and also realizes the ACC members are trapped for now due to their grant of rights. So what good would it do him or the SEC to say "ya know, we'd love to have UNC in the conference"?
