As I mentioned earlier, this makes way more sense than most expansion/realignment rumors.

Wichita St, Tulsa, Memphis, SMU, Houston, and Tulane seems like a pretty natural grouping of schools

It is bound to happen. They clearly have proven they are above being a mid-major when it comes to BB. That team btw is going to be very, very good next year. An Elite 8 or a Final Four is not outside the realm of possibility.
Yeah, but the fan base is so loser'y and mid major'y. They belong in the Valley.

Its such a shame that TCU somehow escaped that list and I have to interact with their smelly fans at least once a year.

Honestly tcu probably wouldn't even make the list because no one would remember they are in the conf

Baylor fits in with those schools more than TCU.

ISU, OSU, Baylor, Tech

Tough choice there. We're in no way, shape, or form in any position to talk about smelly, gross conference members. Austin, MHK, and yes, even Lawrence basically save this conference from being the grossest of the gross

I am surprised this has not been posted yet:

Three things:

1) It was posted on ESPN 28 minutes ago, so it's not surprising that it hasn't been posted yet.
2) It has zero percent chance of becoming a reality.
3) It's not really breaking news for a North Carolina state legislator to say or do something bat crap crazy.  For example, today, one of them compared Abraham Lincoln to Hitler. So, this isn't even the dumbest thing they did today.

I'm sure if the Big 12 had a chance to get UNC & NC State they'd drop the ball like usual.

That wouldn't even be in play but that's not what makes this story important to the Big 12. UNC would go to the Big 10, no earthly clue as to where NCSU would go, SEC I guess, they're certainly more attractive than Missouri.

The SEC would love to get into North Carolina. They would try to get UNC and fail, and then taken NCst with open arms. All that being said, this bill won't be voted on, wouldn't be passed, and even if it did, the ACC would then just keep their events in NC.

Yeah, no way this passes.  But, in the event that it did pass, the ACC wouldn't boycott NC, they would go through a thorough selection process that just happens to not choose NC.   See, no boycott.

If this happens, there will be a lot of suits sold in NC... lawsuits that is.  :th_twocents:

I used to love realignment fan-fiction as much as the next.  I probably still have multiple spreadsheets from 2011 saved on a computer.

However, the amount of play a few low-level, grandstanding state legislators are getting from proposing a bill that's intent is nothing more than allowing themselves to go back to their church voters and say "I'm standing up to those national liberal thugs who want to force there perverted politics on your kids" is 10 times more ridiculous than anything else to come out of realignment.  This made me check out LandThieves again and there are multiple posts proposing how the SEC and BigTen are going to carve up the ACC.
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

Obviously I love this thread, but even I will admit that it might as well be locked until we get closer to the current Big 12 GOR ending.

I agree with all the reasons above that this is complete waste of time and nothing will ever come of it.  However.........if I were one of the schools in the ACC that thought the North Carolina schools have too much power, wouldn't this make me pause for a moment?

Welcome back Colorado. Hello Utah, Arizona, Arizona State. Nice to meet you.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
