Hope they are ready to pony up some tax money to offset lost revenue


Seriously, NC State and UNC would lose more by withdrawing than the ACC would lose from them leaving. Threatening to withdraw from the ACC when so many other schools would love to get into the ACC, gaining access to a Power 5 conference, just seems like a dumb comment. Not a lot of "qualified" schools trying to get in, but nevertheless a dumb comment. Not much of a threat. And there would be outrage on those campuses, and by alumni throughout the state. Not exactly a good way to get reelected.
