Imagine Indiana gets their first ever national title and it has to have an asterisk because they had an ineligible player

Vacate wins? Could we be playing for #7 in Vegas...?

Unless the SEC or B1G wants NC State and move their basketball conference tournaments to the state of North Carolina, I just don't see UNC leaving the ACC.

UNC System BOG officially gives itself power in athletic conference realignment

Public universities in North Carolina now have to get permission from the UNC System Board of Governors if they want to change athletic conferences.

There isn't one state in the country that relies heavily on an athletic conference for tourism than North Carolina does with the ACC. On the UNC Board of Governor's, UNC grads are outnumbered 15-9 to NC State/Other grads on the board, plus some of the UNC grads are affiliated with a lot of economic development/tourism boards with the state. There's millions of dollars that the state has tied up in keeping the ACC and their events to be played in North Carolina.

North Carolina may save the ACC for tourism's sake

State leaders spent millions to raise the profile of North Carolina as a sports event destination. Why would they cede that ground to Atlanta or Indianapolis?

The SEC and B1G can leak out to the press their desires for UNC to join their conference, but the powers that be in North Carolina have huge vested interests in keeping the ACC alive. That's not to say of anything about FSU, Clemson, Miami, or the Virginia schools from leaving the conference, but there just seems to many roadblocks for UNC to leave.

UNC is leaving the ACC and going SEC.
