Big 10 isn't saying anything. Of course they will field calls from all the teams still stuck in the Big 12.
But the Big 10 must be trying to steal a couple of teams from the ACC, right? Why take two schools desperate to get off a sinking ship, when you can get two schools the other conferences actually want? And if the Big 10 can steal two teams from the ACC wouldn't that improve the Big 10 while weakening the ACC?
The Big 10 pays its member schools the most right now. A considerable amount more than ACC pays its member schools. I wouldn't be shocked if the Big 10 offered to Virginia and UNC. The Big 10 already got Maryland. I think the thought of joining Maryland could convince Virginia to move into the Big Ten. But UNC would be the real get. They have a stronger national brand. And North Carolina (specifically Raleigh) would be a new media market. Getting UNC also means removing them from their Duke conference rivalry. The timing might be right. Virginia has become a basketball power and Duke's Coach K is retiring. What better a moment for UNC to move on?
