ACC School Reportedly is Attempting to Join the SEC in the ‘Near Future’

[Nouveaux]

UNC and UVA make the most sense. They're the top schools in their state and they bring new states to the conference. NCSt and VT are probably better fits culturally but they don't bring near the prestige of the other two. Clemson and FSU/Miami bring nothing unique to the conference.

Memphis goes to the ACC, UNC comes to the SEC, and Missouri goes..... does anyone really care where Missouri goes?

Had you said Vanderbilt instead of Missouri? I mean yeah, 5 star academics, but -1 star athletics (aside from baseball)

UNC itself cannot decide change conferences. The NC university system board gave themselves sole and final authority on conference moves.

UNC Chapel Hill probably has the juice to make the board do what they want. However that board is also responsible for NCSU which could be left high and dry if Chapel Hill leaves the ACC which would likely start the collapse of the ACC.

Always follow the money and the money is TV markets. Which schools would move and have the most to offer the conference?

UNC is the flagship school for the entire ACC. If it goes, the conference will collapse or become a shell of itself like the PAC 12. Have ECU, App and Coastal join or something crazy like that
