Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 516807, member: 652"] The key to this whole expansion is North Carolina, and the article by Frank is 100% right. North Carolina is the Texas of the ACC, and they aren't going to leave being the Kings of the ACC to become bishops or knights in the B1G or SEC. While the B1G or SEC could poach other ACC teams other than UNC neither conference wants to make the first move without UNC because then the other conference would be in a position to take UNC and UVA. Thus, its a game of chicken between the B1G and SEC and if UNC decides the extra money is worth giving up their power then the ACC is screwed, but I think UNC will be happy with power so long as they aren't making significantly money less than the other conferences. I would rather be the King fish of a decent sized pond rather than medium sized fish in the biggest pond. I just hope Swofford knows what he is doing creating an alliance with the Big XII. [/QUOTE]
