yeah of any ACC school, it does seem UNC has the most to lose if the ACC were to go under. You know Swoff will do all he can to keep his job/power.

If anybody should be allowed to leave, it should be NC State so that it is allowed to grow into a comprehensive university (i.e. able to offer a law school, medical school, dental school, health sciences, pharmacy, journalism, etc)

The state of NC is growing and NC State needs to be allowed to grow. There are many health professionals practicing in NC whose health education took place in another state or another country. It makes no sense why the state of NC continues to handcuff NCSU. Texas A&M is not part of the University of Texas and this allowed A&M to stand on its own as a well regarded world class university.

What we really need is for dUNCe to have an offer to leave the UNC System... That would be great for the whole state.

But task force members say the existence of applied sciences and engineering programs at the UNC system’s other flagship institution — N.C. State University — just 25 miles down the road suggests the University’s efforts might be perceived as unnecessary by the system’s Board of Governors.

NCSU Chancellor Randy Woodson said he’s not concerned about the potential for duplicate programs after talks with Bruce Carney, UNC-CH executive vice chancellor and provost. N.C. State’s program has more applications for the environmental and agricultural sciences, he said.

“Given their strength in medical science and pharmacy, I think it makes perfect sense,” he said. “We do health-related things, but not the way Carolina does.”

(We also require athletes to attend and complete existing courses taught by flesh-and-blood professors).

Yeah, more non-factual information from a WV guy.  A 50 page thread on a message board does not mean anything.  Can you point to one credible source that gives any validity to the 'UNC to the B1G' rumor  at all?  HINT:  The "Dude" and Greg Swaim do not qualify.

By the way, can you give an ETA on when WVU fans will stop being pissy because the ACC and SEC didn't invite them?

Just because other boards are talking about it does not mean that the crazy WVU folks are not stirring the pot.   One could argue that the other boards are talking about this BECAUSE the crazy WVU folks were stirring the pot.  FYI, you are ignoring the evidence of WVU fans creating many of these rumors over time that prompts accusations of further rumor mongering.

Let me just add, you don't have yo math skilz up to standard, you ain't getting in the co-flagship to study a moneyed discipline. Lots of stinging going on 'round here today.

And oh, Tab, bu-bye--say hello to the guys for me.

However, the OSU board have a lot of posters that say they have sources inside BIG offices and speak just as definitively as MHver3 and The Dude do about future expansion. They do laugh at most of what The Dude and MHver3 say. Again, point taken with the drivers behind other boards talking about realignment could be done because of those crazy WVU folks.
