Duke WAS a sleeping giant.........in the 1930's.
If UNC were to move to the SEC or BIG10 they would become Vanderbilt in perpetuity. Surely some part of their hubristic selves knows this intuitively.Over on IC, nascarjimmy1031 says carolina football is doomed to fail in the short term because: 1) Their enrollment/alumni base is too small with too many D1 competitors nearby 2) their NIL dollars at stretched too thin because of non-revenue sports and 3). they’re in the wrong conference.
Solution: 1)drastically increase enrollment
2) cut non revenue sports and 3) buy their way out of the ACC.
You have to admit drastically increasing enrollment, to pay the football team more money, is a no brainer. Duh!
So Nascar Jimmy essentially says “stop trying to fulfill your mission as a state supported public institution in any capacity whatsoever And poop-can all non-revenue sports to preserve your NIL dollars for football. That is astonishingly moronic, not to mention his suggestion to increase the alumni base. Someone nominate him for Chancellor since they arent too happy with Roberts.Over on IC, nascarjimmy1031 says carolina football is doomed to fail in the short term because: 1) Their enrollment/alumni base is too small with too many D1 competitors nearby 2) their NIL dollars at stretched too thin because of non-revenue sports and 3). they’re in the wrong conference.

I think the odds are they get Sumrall. That has to be their one and only option.
Yes. I don't see Duke waving palm fronds for Mike Elko's return any time soon.Is it just me or does anyone else (NC native here) remember how mad Cheat fans were when Mack DARED to leave them for TX back whenever it was? I always found it hilarious that they then later welcomed him back for this latest stretch as their HC. Of course, I'm always sorry to see a mediocre coach leave the Hill
Well, Sumrall, sum aren't.
So we are still guaranteed to play Sumrall…
Unless he goes to the Cowboys to replace McCarthy. I mean, everyone else on earth is being considered for that job...
ya, there seems to be a lesson that at least as far as the football playoff rankings go, you're better off with a gaudy record in a lesser conference than a good record in a great conference...unc would get chewed up and spit out in the SEC...I do think the Big 10 is another story, that's a top heavy conference with some really good teams at the top, but pretty middling otherwise...
B10 is the answer if you’re the UNC administration actually ignoring the fans. Problem is that your fans would want you in the SEC bc it’s geographically and (sadly increasingly) culturally more aligned
This reminds me of what I heard an investor say in the 1980’s: “Brazil is the next Big Thing and always will be.”
Haha no way - Vanderbilt has a stellar academic reputation.
I keed, I keed, not really tho.It makes sense. Mack will beat State, because, well, it’s State. They had to fire him before that because it looks worse to fire someone after they beat a rival.Haha no way - Vanderbilt has a stellar academic reputation.
It’s weird to fire the coach and then have him coach another game.
Still too soon.
