Conference Realignment

Don’t agree at all. UNC is one of the few very clear “prizes” left in realignment. Mega brand, new territory, and blue blood in basketball. The only bigger one is Notre Dame. Florida State is probably right behind them. Then Clemson. After that, eye of the beholder (UVA, Stanford, NC State, etc.)

UNC is very well positioned for the post-ACC era. It makes sense for both the Big Ten and SEC. I do think Clemson and Florida State are the prizes, though. Football rules and North Carolina will never be in that category consistently.

I think Notre Dame is in their own tier, and then its UNC/FSU/Clemson. UNC being the school in North Carolina for either conference is really valuable, plus their basketball brand is so elevated, it becomes part of the conversation as well.

After that, it truly depends on your perspective and large room for disagreement.
 
I lived in Boulder from 69-72...The Big Eight was a powerhouse college football conference... The final national polls had Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado ranked 1-2-3...I'm not a college football fan, but going to the games was pure insanity...A good time was had by all.
