Over the last week, the news cycle has been on fire thanks to USC and UCLA announcing that they were packing their bags and heading to the Big Ten. For UNC specifically it’s been even worse, because the program has been deemed the second-most valuable program in the country right behind Notre Dame. This means rumors have flown around non-stop, and the very loud opinion out there is that UNC wants more money, would take more money, and is absolutely destined to take more money. Did I say money already?
Whether or not UNC is seriously considering leaving the ACC is anybody’s guess (emphasis on guess), but what we do know is that this is far from the first time conversations about Carolina leaving the ACC have existed, and no, I’m not talking about them going to the Big Ten.
