Academically Missouri isn't in the same league as UNC. Not even close.

They're both AAU schools.

We are talking about conference and the Big Ten is much more attractive to UNC than the SEC ever will be in regards to academics.

You're Ohio State schtick is growing old. You hate us. We get it. Now go screw yourself and your entitled football program and coach that talks out of the side of his mouth.

I think UNC would consider the SEC if UVa came with them. The two of them would make the SEC competitive enough academically to be justifiable to the alumni and faculty.

Everything I've read(a lot of gibberish and nonsense) says that UNC will either end up in the SEC or B1G, but that neither conference wants Duke.


Where have you seen this?

Duke adds no value to the football TV contracts, which is what this is all about. Both the SEC and B1G want one school from NC and VA.

I understand the rationale, just curious where the rumors are coming from.

Did I say that? Just the fact that no kid from the south wants to play half of their games up north.

They've popped up in newspapers in ACC country since the Maryland stuff happened. Basically the main rumors are that VT (NC State possibly) wants in the ACC. UNC and UVa are trying to align themselves. Those two want to save the ACC, but will leave together if necessary, probably to the B1G.

These are just rumors atp though

There is no way UNC goes to the SEC. They care about academic prestige conference pride too much for that to happen.


They have fake fricking classes. Not classes that are cake walks. Flat out fake classes. Their concern for academic prestige is only for appearances.

ETA: I am guessing you were TIC about that.

You need to look at the Ohio State roster and then get back to me on that statement.

Is the reason the Big 10 is so proactive in adding more members this season because two of their biggest football programs are on bowl probation?

Or would they have been added no matter what this year?
