It’s still weird to see that California is in the ACC. If you are looking for any sort of sign that college sports as we know it is just completely messed up, look no further than the two teams that Carolina will face coming up, as both come from California’s Bay Area. If it weren't for adding the likes of Notre Dame, Syracuse, and Boston College well before now it would be even odder.
How much longer this arrangement will stick is an open question, but in the here and now the Tar Heels drew a lucky straw in that they won’t have to travel out to Dallas, Stanford, and Berkeley this season.
