A North Carolina school would be ideal, but with the GOR it won't happen.

GOR has nothing to do with it.

ESPN has the SEC and ACC. Skipper is a UNC guy and Slive is a UVA guy. Neither wanted to see the ACC fold so my guess is there was a gentlemen's agreement for the SEC not to poach the ACC. When TAMU was #13 and VPI was not #14 you knew that the ACC was not worried about any school going to the SEC. Slive and the SEC was in essence their firewall to prevent the B1G from poaching the ACC.
