UNC Holes ideas for finding money for players

I can only hope a Duke alum buys the naming rights to the Dean Dome. I guess the time has come that all our athletes will look like stock cars.

It sucks, but this is where "college" sports is. They certainly won't be the only ones doing a lot of this stuff.

“Unc center for kids who can’t read good and don’t need to learn to play basketball and football here”

It’s a long one but really gets the idea across unc wants to share with top athletes

UNC to the SEC is middle school level click bate...They aren't going anywhere without Duke and SEC culture does align with The Flagships...

They need to join the Big10 or do everything in their power to elevate the ACC.

Unc created an entire fake curriculum with fake classes and even let unsuspecting regular students get a sham education so they could keep football and basketball players eligible.

What’s more SEC than that?

Had a Clemson contact last year saying they'd be SEC within four years. This wasn't some random fan either. It's starting to look like he knew what he was talking about.

My info comes from someone in the room. It’s what they have decided they want. Can they pull it off ? I don’t know. They seem to think so. Why care ? It could ultimately affect us.

The trickle down could be massive. We better be prepared for whatever may come. It's not hard to see why Gillin is making such a big push to increase our budget. Although, we may end up in a similar place no matter what we do.

Wheels within wheels…there’s no such thing as the offseason anymore.

Youre not wrong...but every school did this, UNC just got caught.

I will admit I have incredible prejudice against all things UNC so take my opinions with a grain of salt...but if UNC to the SEC happens it will go the way an engineered relationship does on one of these Nerflix reality dating shows...ugly

UNC to the SEC would make for some quality trainwreck TV to watch.

Bad decisions often make great stories.

It will take a bit more time but id guess that unc, clemson, fsu, miami all go SEC. ACC could then be Duke, NCSU, Wake, Vtech, Virginia(if not sec), Syracuse, Louisville, Boston college, Pitt, GA tech.

Steal Uconn from the big east
West Virginia and Cincinnati from the Big 12

Smu, cal, and Stanford will eventually go elsewhere, should be big 12.
Notre Dame will still be themselves.

That gives the ACC 12 quality programs that have competed in football, basketball, and baseball at various points in thr last 25 years.

That makes conference more regional while keeping the quality level at the "P4" level.
