Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5035284, member: 4613"] Crazy, I know, but I'm just spitballin'. It would be great if UNC and UVA decided to keep the ACC together. And it would require coordination and loyalty by the other members. Regarding P2: Culturally I think they fit better in the SEC, being more "southern" schools. There is also more growth in the south and better weather. Academically, maybe the B1G because of the AAU thing and all. But it's the rust belt. The SEC doesn't sponsor Men's Soccer or Lax and while those sports mean nothing in realignment, those are sports that UNC and UVA are very passionate about. And basketball. So the only perfect conference for them is the ACC. They keep all their sports in one conference and they keep their rivalries with Duke. UNC and UVA would get buried in P2 football so although the money may be a lot better, it may not be good for their programs. Hard to tell because playing those P2 programs might be good for recruiting. Basketball rivalries would be destroyed. Let FSU leave. Reorganize and get a new contract. I don't know how, just do it. They can accept being on the level with the Big 12 in Football, being the best basketball conference once they invite UConn, and continue to play primarily on the Atlantic Coast. I know it's not likely. Texas and Oklahoma broke the P5 and I'm sure UNC and UVA would follow, but it would be great to see them stay home. [/QUOTE]
