Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 5088980, member: 3609"] The real prize is UNC. The story has been that UNC and UVa are a package deal. Except for our squash team, every UVa varsity athlete has a counterpart at UNC (Duke, too) and vice versa. UVa and UNC have played forever in everything. UNC knows that there is limited interest in Duke because it's a small private school with a limited audience. Then there's this. Some of the best academics for a state school (the academics at other places like to hang out with top academics), really good Olympic sports (34 NCAA championships excluding b-ball), decent basketball that usually earns shares of the NCAA TV money, high likelihood of a win in football for the bluebloods, and a goodly portion of DC-area TVs.
