The only thing keeping the ACC alive is the Grant of Rights deal that has a massive buyout but that number is dropping each year. There is no real world option where the ACC can get a better tv package. The top schools will go SEC or BIG for all that money. The leftovers will either form some low rent option or get absorbed by big 12 and big east. It sucks but the ACC is toast. 

Facts. I think virtually everyone has accepted this and is trying to cut their deals behind the scenes. NC legislature will probably try to tie NCSU to UNC because they pretty much know that NCSU will basically become NCSU if they don't. Their only hope of keeping NCSU relevant is to try to tie them to UNC.

That part will be very interesting. I don’t think the SEC or B1G want a package deal and forced to take State. Where does Duke go??? It’s going to get crazy in the next couple of years.

Hoping UNC doesn’t get embarrassed tonight.  TCU has a lot of experience and a really good passing game.  Primetime in Kenan is awesome

Dang NICE -UNC- TD

[Icege]

Got the TV on just in time to catch the TD. Anything noteworthy on the opening drive?

Scoring hasn't been our issue in recent years. Let's see if that D has gotten any better.

Gio looked good, so did Shipp and Hood.

Ran it down their throats at will, one play action deep ball for about 40. That was the only throw. A QB keeper on a read option for no gain, maybe a small loss was the only play that wasn't a success.

UNC has already talked to SEC. 

Right now it looks like UNC, FL St, Clemson and Virginia to the SEC. Dunno where the rest would go.

Thats a good point.   But I was more worried about his offense.  Gotta think Bill can improve a college D
