If UNC wants SEC, we take them with either VaTech or Duke (preferably VaTech, but Duke if necessary). If UNC wants Big10, then we take NCState and VaTech.
It's as simple as that. Ball is in UNC's court to decide what they want: Big10 or SEC. Once they decide, all the rest of the dominos will fall into place.
My guess is UNC will go with the Big10 (along with UVA). SEC will add NcState + VaTech. Big10 happy, SEC - albeit not our first choice - happy.
Big winners in all of this (in order): Big10, SEC, Big12 (all solidify themselves as THE major players in college sports)..... Big Losers: ACC huge loser and may even cease to exist when all is said and done, Pac12 (smaller loser as they are still one of the big boys, but they certainly fall behind the other 3 major conferences longterm)

All comes down to the Maryland/ACC lawsuit....I tend to think it Swofford somehow makes the $50 million stick, the ACC survives.
If not, it probably doesn't take long for UVA (and maybe GT) to bolt to the B1G. Then FSU and Clemson to the Big 12. At that point, UNC probably has an "exploding offer" from both the SEC and B1G it will have to act on. The SEC probably would take either VT or dook along with UNC, but if we balk, they probably move to NCSt and VT....
