Honestly, I would have no problem if the ACC went that route.

Also, I agree the ACC should have done it to UMD too. However, if the ACC did decide to blackball UNC and NC State, then I could see some state legislature get a bill passed requiring Duke and Wake to continue playing UNC and NC State in all available sports to counter any move the ACC makes. Normally a state legislature does it for state schools, but I could see NC do it for the 2 private schools since they have clout within the state.

What you say about UNC vs. the will of in-state voters -- Maroon Baboon 04/14/2017 5:32PM

More like $280 million for both -- ChrisLords 04/13/2017 01:58AM

One would be heading to the SEC, and... -- EDGEMAN 04/12/2017 2:22PM

Then they would have the deal with the bathroom bill... -- Mr. Touchdown 04/12/2017 9:17PM

The bathroom bill would be a moot issue for both the Big Ten -- VTHokie2000 04/12/2017 9:42PM
