UNC has not won an ACC title since 1982, how do you think they would fare in the SEC?


The SEC was 4-10 last year in bowl games. The ACC was 9-5.

NC was 4-8 / 2-6 last year and was not in any of those ACC bowls games -

NC is 164-172 in football since the 2000 season - NC has won 10+ games 1 time (2015) since 2000 -

Mack Brown will be the only coach in NC history to ever make them relevant on the gridiron - and they fired him to hire a 74 year old man with a 25 year old adult cheerleader for a girlfriend -

Do not want. They started the Gain of Function research that eventually ended up God knows where all on it was "outlawed" in the US. They be asshoe!

UNC did not start “Gain of Function” genetic-engineering viral research, but Prof. Ralph Baric of UNC was a leading researcher. His major study on a SARS-like virus was not “outlawed.” In 2014 the Obama administration placed a moratorium on gain-of-function research which prevented federal funding of such research, unless approved by a special committee. However, Dr. Baric’s study was allowed to keep their federal funding because it had been approved before the moratorium was put in place. One of that paper’s co-authors was none other than the PRC’s Shi Zhengli, the infamous Chinese “Batwoman”, who later expanded that research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, partially funded by US TAXPAYERS with an NIH grant approved by Dr. Anthony Fauci (who deliberately circumvented the evaluation process normally conducted by the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity) and funneled the money through the EcoHealth Alliance (an NGO) to the Wuhan lab of Shi Zhengli. And we all know the rest of that story…So back to football!

We don’t want UNC. We just don’t want LSU. They’re mucking up the place

Its tough reading these threads sometimes because people don't know what they are talking about.

UNC and UVA would be the clear frontrunners for SEC expansion. Their money and markets would agree. I don't know which two after that, but I know they would make a run at Notre Dame, and it wouldn't be Clemson or Florida State. Miami and Georgia Tech would be massive Big 10 fits academically and provide more optics in the two largest southern markets. To me Clemson and FSU would likely end up in the Big12 if in fact the ACC is the one to go down.

North Carolina is/was(?) the fastest growing state.

I have no dog in the fight but you would have said the same thing about Indiana two years. The future under a payment system is going to be a lot different than the past. The day may come when folks look back at this period of time and say “those guys had a chance to get X but they didn’t to keep Y instead”. I believe the big schools in rural areas have an expiration date under a payment system - they simply don’t have the deep pockets and all payments and coaching being even would I high end player rather live in a rural area or a more populated area. The future will be interesting.

I know if I was a high end player I’d rather play in Miami than any SEC town.

Clemson and FSU both have excellent TV ratings, better than at least half of either the SEC or BIG, there ain’t no way in hell either are going to the Big12. Future tv conf money will be largely based on who can draw the most eyes

There's a lot wrong with this post...despite the poster claiming people don't know what they are talking about...



But if for some reason FSU and Clemson were ignored by the P2 (which they won't be), and stayed in the ACC, I think the ACC would raid the Big XII, not the other way around, assuming FSU and Clemson stayed, especially with the ACC having their own TV network.

Saying unc should be in the sec (compared to the B1G) to be closer to their "academic peers" is certainly a take
