UNC is a property in ESPN's "B" club...My thought is that ESPN would see benefit in having them in their main property..the SEC.  And North Carolina is the 9th most populous state...and SEC basketball is moving up...

ESPN is very open about the SEC being their major and preferred property...ESPN loads up the best ABC and ESPN TV slots with SEC teams...and it has been a successful strategy...buying the SEC game of the week from CBS and taking the best time slots for their SEC teams..

[I]"ESPN platforms delivered record-breaking college football viewership in 2024, with ABC owning the season as the No. 1 network for college football, averaging 5.8 million viewers for 46 regular season games, an impressive 56 percent increase year-over-year and ABC’s best college football season in 15 years (since 2009). ESPN platforms scored their most-watched season since 2016 with an average of 1.9 million viewers per game across all Nielsen-rated networks "[/I]
