None of the three were interested and B1G started working on UVA and GT in the hope of creating a sense of urgency if not panic that would put B1G in position to scoop up at least one if not both of UNC and Florida State.

It could be UNC remains the #1 target.

AAC expansion with Louisville, Pitt, Syracuse and Notre Dame has gone well though. Long term TV deal and football in the ACC has elevated. The ship on taking UNC has probably sailed.

UConn I think has taken Rutgers spot as the East Coast project school always available if needed.
