Same insider that broke the UCLA/USC news is breaking this news to the person speaking here.

Just posting it since it was published today. I don't know anything about Swain. If he's full of crap, he's full of crap. I leave it up to you and others to tell people whether he's a credible source or not as I am not qualified to make that determination. It sounds like you don't think he should taken seriously. Good to know. But in the off chance that he turns out to correct, that would be very bad for us.

First, Swain is a total 100% hack, and is posting rumors for clicks. Second, FSU and Clemson to the SEC would be great for Miami as Miami would then be the next media favorite for the B10, along with UNC as a travel partner. The B10 media partner (FOX) has 0 interest in UVA. Fact is that legit SEC "insiders" have been fairly consistent that the SEC prefers UNC / UVA for geographic consolidation reasons. Not sure if ESPN agrees with that. Whatever the reality is, Swain has no clue.

Agreed. I’m not doing in depth analysis of every article out there, but I liked the insiders saying we were a lock for the B1G with ND a **** of a lot better than 5th or 6th in line to leave…

Every comment I see from sources I view as "somewhat reliable" lists FSU, Miami, UNC, Clemson as THE programs with legit interest in leaving and potentially having a P2 home. UVA is mentioned as an SEC pairing with UNC. Clemson appears to have become somewhat questionable as far as a landing spot. Certainly are a lot of dramatic scenarios being "projected". Some Noles are HOPING the recent comments on a lack of a final CFP deal is because ESPN / FOX are negotiating their exit as one of the dominoes involved. Everybody grasping at straws. B12 fans are assuming the ACC will implode just like the Pac12 and they will have their pick of ACC programs to add. It has become like a feeding frenzy for "hacks" like Swaim, Bluebloods, Fluagar.

UVA is a more valuable program, but I wouldn't be shocked to see NC State paired with UNC. The state lawmakers are looking out for their own and just passed some kind of measure. I could see it playing out that they will only let UNC go if NC State has a spot as well. Just like UVA requiring VTech to the ACC back when we jumped.

The UNC AD was pretty clear in his comments a couple of weeks ago "we will do what is best for the UNC football program". The money issues in moving to the SEC, them adding new teams = more money to pay out + they are also going to 9 conference games soon = additional money for schools. The SEC just might not have the luxury of adding NC State so the legislators "feel good". They would be penalizing UNC by prohibiting them to improve their economic status.

The UNC AD can have that stance all he wants, but it's NC politics. From what I understand, UNC can't make the decision on their own; the state legislature has to sign off. There are likely enough NC State alumni there to force a partnership and not let UNC go on their own. They know it'll hurt NC State long-term if they get left out and probably are confident that either conference would be willing to do what it takes to get UNC, especially since most of these realignment moves seem to come in pairs. Yes, they know UNC would get a lot more money, but they're betting they could get double by getting NC State in as well.

Wake and Duke are private, so they don't play into the state politics.
