Just a thought from someone who's familiar with the 900 monkey--
I suspect UNC is the tx of the ACC. Why would they leave conference that revolves around them? Sure, there's money, but I think there's more to it than that. Tx had the chance to go to the Pac twice. Both sides want the other, but in the end, it was tx unwillingness to give up the big boy on the block status that kept them put.
@AllTideUp They would have to change their bylaws, at which point everyone will know what they are about to do. If they don't change their bylaws, you know it isn't coming, so there's no point in speculating about it.
For all the talk about Texas, I honestly believe that's all it ever was--talk. Just like an employer will interview several people that they know they won't hire, I believe conferences 'interview' schools. You could easily say there was a first date, but it never got serious, and certainly never progressed to courting.
Those who graffitied the UT campus weren't acting like UT fans. They were acting like Tech fans.
