OT: NC bill to pull NC State and UNC out of the ACC

[walkrightier]

North Carolina lawmakers threaten to pull UNC, N.C. State from ACC if conference boycotts state again

"The North Carolina legislature is at it again.

A new house bill introduced April 10 states that if the ACC boycotts the state for future championship game sites, the state would force UNC and N.C. State to withdraw from the conference."

Could this be our ticket to the ACC?

lol wut

Pretty sure if this insane bill is enacted the ACC would just not boycott the state again. They aint letting UNC go.

I want to live in Charlotte eventually but their state government acts like it's run by Florida Man.

I posted this in the thread about the ACC column but it's just as relevant here:



These types of things tend to be a lot of political BS - huffing, puffing, but no blowing the house down.

 

[Kembacity]

is this even a matter that state legislature has control over?

April 1 already happened right?

I think it's more likely you see the SEC make a play for UNC (and maybe NC St). Now that would be interesting.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Nice. Let's hope this moves forward, the SEC makes a play for UNC, and then the North Carolina Attorney General and the ACC go to battle in the courts over the legality of GOR in college conferences.

Will never happen. But that would be amazing!

Did Blumenthal move?

The NC Legislature is full of morons just like Congress. This will never pass. It is just saber rattling.

grew up in the Ballantyne area and live in South End now just outside of Uptown. Can't go wrong no matter where you choose to settle in the Charlotte area.

 

[HooperScooper]

Idle threats. Oh yeah, where are UNC and NC St. going to go? The state would let them forego ACC money? Yeah, right!

Of course. They are state schools.

Wouldn't it be great if these learned minds cared as much about the scandal that rocked Noth Carolina sports and still awaits proper NCAA condemnation/punishment?
