Interesting. I agree with those who say that UNC would be awesome, but I just don't see it happening. UNC is the heart and soul of the ACC and they have strong ties and rivalries with Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, Maryland and Virginia. I think the alumni would simply revolt if they left all that for more television money.
Missouri makes some sense because it expands the geographic and television markets without adding too much competition on the field, but it just leaves me cold. TBH, I don't think they deserve to be in the SEC. They aren't great and they aren't southern (or eastern).
Maryland is in a similar position to Missouri in that they bring some new markets, but culturally that just doesn't seem like a good fit at all (in fact, they seem similar to UNC in that regard b/c all of their rivals are in the ACC, esp UNC and Virginia).
Va Tech would add eyeballs nationally and open up some new recruiting and television markets. TBH though, I'm not sure the SEC needs another program of that caliber...it is darn tough as it is. Seem like a decent fit culturally. I'd be surprised to see this go through after all the hub-bub to add them to the ACC so recently.
