SoCar leade3rs acted like total idiots when leaving, for a couple years before. And their sports boosters left basting of how leaving the ACC would enable them to become the next Bama in football and UK in basketball. Just total insanity. On the part of the  4 NC schools - it was animosity toward a school that they ranked as academically, and socially, dead last in the conference getting extremely uppity when its entire sports history was 1 ACC championship in each revenue sport. ON the UNC part, it was also about wanting to shut up then SoCar basketball coach Frank McGuire, whom UNC had wrongly fired out of the scandal that ended the Dixie Classic.

SoCar would consider re-entering the ACC only if it somehow got the TV money to come close equaling SEC money. I think that SoCar people, as crazy as they are still, know that they have a MUCH better chance of winning the ACC in football than winning the SEC in either revenue sport. That plus the thought of recreating the old UNC-SoCar bloody rivalry games would bring a number of them to the table with open minds. I think UNC people also accept that that an annual ACC football game vs. SoCar would be very good for UNC.
