When did NC State become co-flagship?  In any event, most people would not know that because UNC bears the name of the university system while NC State refused to do so. So, it is State's own fault if people think of it in the same way as Oregon State, Miss State, Fla. State, etc. If State is a co-flagship,then it ought to bear the name UNC-Raleigh or the one that I think would have made it sound better and more prestigious...the University of North Carolina Institute of Technology....clearly...past leaders and alumni of State have screwed up when it comes to branding...

Just like Maryland wasn't going anywhere?

You think Murlin would have been the B1G's first choice among those in the ACC?  LOL

Since "ACC" officials don't exist, that would be easy to arrange.  On the other hand, if you weren't too lazy or too dumb to look it up, you would find that some of the officials who work ACC games are already working Big 10 games- so it's already started.

 I don't remember all the discussions, but were you just as emphatic about the "Murlin" rumors before they eventually turned out to be true? 
  I think they probably do have an invite, but agree that their taking it is another matter.  My UVA friend said they would probably go if UNC went.  Wonder if the big BIG is playing different schools against each other to see if they can panic the holes into jumping.  They are definitely the big prize.

Here's the nightmare scenario that would likely happen if the Holes left:

UVA and Duke would follow the Holes into the Big Ten. Other, more desireable teams (sad, but true), like Clemson or Va Tech or FSU or Miami or Syracuse and Notre Dame, would be snatched up by the SEC or the Big 12. We'd be left with the biggest school in a crappy conference.

I hear you that the SEC would be better than the ACC. But, I don't see an offer on the table and I suspect that if they're adding two, they would add FSU and Va Tech and Clemson before us. I know that the NC market is desireable, but those other schools have had more success recently than us in Football and have a wider fanbase. It would be great if the SEC walked through that door and gave us an invite to save the day, but we can't assume that will happen.

Yes, we hate the Holes because for so many years they've looked down on us, recieved preferential treatment by the league, the media, and the refs. Yes, they are cheaters that are likely to skate after the academic scandal that would have burried us and any lesser school. But, we have to pull for them to do the right thing and stay put in the ACC. All of you begging for them to leave should be begging them to stay...at least until we have an SEC offer, then f'em.

Big 10 talk buzzing again. #UVA being mentioned often as likely to join. Georgia Tech still in the mix. #UNC, the big domino, has an offer.
