Jim Delany is investing in Carolina's future.....

https://247sports.com/college/north-caro...-117603905

Despite his professional loyalties to the Big Ten Conference as the commissioner since 1989, Jim Delaney places huge value on his time as an undergraduate and law student at North Carolina. The lessons he learned from Dean Smith while a guard on the Tar Heel basketball team rank up there as well.

North Carolina has announced that Delaney and his family have donated $1 million to the Carolina Edge fund --- $750,000 to create the Jim and Kitty Delany Endowment Fund benefiting the Carolina Covenant and $250,000 to establish the Jim and Kitty Delany Scholarship Endowment Fund to support law school students.

It is no secret that Delaney wants UNC into the Big 10. That is why the investment for the Big 10 is to stretch down the east coast into Florida. He wants to get the Big 10 viewership into the SEC to cut a pie slice out of the SEC network. I do not think he have given up on the SEC. If he can get UNC, Virginia, Duke, Clemson, Georgia Tech and Florida State along with Notre Dame in for all sports? SEC will counter with NC State, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati, West Virginia and so forth. ACC could waived the GORs right there when you will only have Pittsburgh, Miami, Wake, Syracuse and Boston College voting no. ACC could be torn apart. If the money is right for these schools? Delaney tells ESPN Checkmate.

David, none of that is likely going to happen. At best, it is a very slim possibility after 2036.

Your proposal is pretty much message board fanboy fantasy.

Delany has tried and failed since the early Nineties to get ND into the Big Ten for all sports.

I would be interested in what those classic Big East football schools would do. Maybe merge with what's left of the AAC?

It’s where they belong. Louisville can join CUSA if you consider them as “classic Big East”...

Not a fanboy ideas when the freedom of information act got involved by a local paper with Delaney's ideas on this. He wanted east coast schools to lure Notre Dame to join as full member. Notre Dame wanted ACC over the Big 10 because of the exposure. Grabbing those schools could forced the hands of Notre Dame. ND may not want to stay in a waterdown ACC when the Big 10, Big 12 and SEC picked the meaty parts. ND could either join the Big 10, or join the Big East for olympic sports. We can not discount what Delaney's scheming plans are to grow the Big 10 bigger.

Delany's ideas do not always translate into reality.

His 2010 plans were to snag Texas, ND, North Carolina, etc...

Eight years later, his "plans" are a failure. No sale.

Everybody wants to "force" ND's hands, lol.

Nobody is leaving the ACC until at least 2036. Everything else is fantasy.

Correct. It's JD's nom de plume.

UNC, Duke, and UVA would form their own little boutique hoops conference before they left the ACC.

I'm sure that's just a joke but I do think a certain poster is a certain someone who works for a certain company. Since we are going there...

I believe both the B1G and SEC would love to add the combination of UNC and UVA. Adding more than two schools, though, would absolutely exceed anyone's concept of a reasonable conference size. In addition, adding a second from any one state would diminish the value of any expansion, since a big part of the justification would be to expand the footprint within which their conference networks can collect maximum rates. The problem becomes that, even if UNC were open to changing conferences, it is not going anywhere without Duke, forcing either the B1G or SEC to take four schools if they also want a presence in Virginia, or to take two schools from the same state. Both of these choices are less than ideal.

No, it's the truth. We discussed it at one of his favorite restaurants when I was out in Chicago. http://www.aramichicago.com/

The thing some of you are missing

The SEC and ACC are becoming linked through ESPN. Conferences are still important but the WWL's own self-interest is to keep their investment in tact.

Delaney's North Carolina and Notre Dame quest is just a dream of an old man.

Good point.
