Why? I mean I don't want more expansion, but if it has to happen, I'm okay with UNC.

1) Mediocre football program
2) Approximately 200,000 miles away

I dont understand expanding into completely unrelated territories.
 
Breaking up the ACC might be more important than adding a competitive football team.

I guess JD has a burning desire to move South. He has expressed this publicly in the past. If everyone is expanding to 16, who else would the Big 10 get to add a new state? Missouri is in the SEC now, would you rather go get Kansas?

Impossible for me to answer because I dont want any more teams even though I know it will happen. UNC is better than Kansas but I dont like it

Fair enough. I don't want Maryland and Rutgers either, but at least the new divisions will be better for Iowa fans IMO.
 
yeah, if expansion is going to happen, they'll be going after academic institutions and larger populations. not kansas.

Is it honestly any worse than having PSU as part of the conference? PA isn't exactly right around the corner, either. And they don't exactly have a lights-out basketball program.. With UNC, we're getting a strong hoops opponent, to say the least. Very rare to pick up a school that is good in both sports. Although football does seem to be a bigger money maker. But I like adding UNC better than adding someone like Maryland or Rutgers, to be honest.

If nothing else, this would give the Hawks a chance to punk Roy Williams on the court again, too.
 
This is a pretty good move for the B10. UNC is similar to UCLA in FB. Basically a sleeping giant. BB will help solidify B10 as the best BB conference.

And I can't believe nobody has said this yet but this is going to really put the screws to Duke. They're going to end up joining Georgetown & St Johns in that BB only conference soon.
