Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Most of this is Stop.

But it seems quite obvious UNC and Virginia are the biggest prizes left.They have hugely successful athletic departments and are flagship programs in states that neither the SEC nor the B1G are in.

I do agree that UVA and UNC are attractive potential additions, but I think this is the old way of thinking about conference expansion. In the long run, the captive cable bundle is going away so adding geographies won't increase the value of a conference network, but brands will enhance value. Of the remaining non-P2 football brands, the most valuable football brands are Notre Dame, Florida State, and Clemson. Think about this, which football game would have more interest and have better ratings? Florida/Florida St. or Florida/Virginia?

While I see you're point, at some point the SEC has to realize that not everyone in that league can succeed in football. Virginia and UNC would give them a major presence in critical recruiting markets and potentially add a lot of $ in basketball. I wouldn't even be shocked if they took Duke at some point to add a second private to pair with Vandy.

I think UNC and UVA are better for the B1G than SEC

Agreed - even Louisville garners more tv ratings than UVa.

I think Duke to the SEC makes a ton of sense, especially if UNC goes there. The SEC needs someone to lose football games, win basketball games, plus the whole academic profile thing.
 
I think we could work with FSU and Clemson. The minute they sign on with us the investment would flow in. It would be like Fred and Ginger, we would give them class.

It'd definitely seem like the better fit based on what the league has traditionally valued, but then again I can't pretend to know what the hell it values after its raid of the PAC-12. Maybe it continues its football-first approach and nabs some combination of FSU, Clemson, and Miami. Maybe it makes a play for Kansas, or even tries to flip an SEC school like Missouri. (It'd be unprecedented, but I bet at some point we're going to see an SEC school leave for the Big Ten, or vice versa)

UNC and UVA have been potential yes votes for Connecticut moving to the ACC. So, they're leaving the ACC seems entirely consistent with conference realignment rule #1.

The UNC System consists of over a dozen universities, including NC State, UNC at Chapel Hill, UNC at Charlotte, ECU, App State, etc. Connecticut does it differently where the "State" schools are separate from UConn.

He makes a good point. Big time hoops!

Yes. And we know we’re not worth $100M a year now.

But we’ll take 20 or 30 % of that and make you basketball conference look great while giving you a football game smack dab in your alumni footprint.

When I worked in the system, the NC State system and the UNC system were separate.

All the public universities are overseen by a single UNC System Board of Governors/President (and have been forever). The individual schools have their own Chancellors/Board of Trustees however.

Because it isn't run by the UNC Chancellor, we considered the state system separate. We were wrong.

Their never has been a separate NC State system. The current governance structure makes each campus independent from each other but they all answer to BOG. So you are correct in that the Chancellor/BOT's at UNC have no authority over NCSU, ECU UNCC etc
