Maryland's recent decision to leave the ACC is about like if you were wading in the water at the beach and a shark bumped into you and there is bleeding but no serious problem. Rumors persist that Georgia Tech is the next ACC team to run to the Big Ten. Should that actually happen the ACC would have lost the DC/Baltimore TV market and the Atlanta market. Then that shark got a nibble of your leg this go round.
Where we are heading in this football world called division one football? It moves more every day that football will be a different animal all together and all other sports will stay in a different conference. If that is where we are heading then Notre Dame is the only school that has done the right thing all along. Stayed independent in football and now has shifted to the ACC for everything else. I hope we are not headed to that scenario but it sure does look like it.
If that is where our sports world is headed where does Carolina and N C State in this new to be world? Both have stadiums that seat 60,000 and both pay their coaches 2 million or more. More rumors have filled team forums about Carolina and Virginia joining the Big Ten Super football conference and Virginia Tech and N C State joining the Big 12 while Florida State and Clemson would join the SEC. What kind of new world is this?
I would think in any kind of movement join this or join that you would think that State and Carolina could or should be strong enough to say I want to stay in the ACC and the ACC could stay as a strong top four or top five super conference. Now today all these rumors running rampant about Larry Fedora going to Tennessee.
Is football so bad at both North Carolina and N C State that a coach making 2 million dollars jumps and runs after one year and goes to and SEC school which right now is near the bottom of the SEC. I understand that Tennessee is traditionally a great football school but the last five years no very good although they did humble the Wolfpack in the season opener. They do have a stadium that seats 95,000
I hope that this is a agents ploy to throw Fedora's name out and he's hoping Carolina gives Fedora a raise after having an outstanding 8-4 season with all the complications Carolina had to put up with. If this does happen and Fedora leaves for Tennessee or any SEC job opening this only tells me that if Carolina can't hold Fedora for more than one year then the ACC is heading down the road to the same fate in the very near future.
