    Is it a coincidence that this article comes out today? The University is not just raising its academic profile it is pushing it through the roof.

      Consider it a love letter addressed to Chapel Hill. I don't suspect Louisville has anything like this in the works. ACC schools value academics over sports IQ.

        suspect it has much more to do with AAU than ACC.

          Valid point. However the AAU can be a huge bonus for our chances of getting to the ACC.

          If the ACC gets obliterated I don't see how they do not take us.

          We immediately bring:
          Football respectability
          Basketball history and on the upswing
          And an emerging academic school

          UC is a totally different place from when I applied there in HS ONLY 5 years ago. Now I'm not entirely sure I would get in. Probably would, but not as quickly or easily

            Great find. There's a clear message here regarding our focus. I love it.

              Boise State athletic director Mark Coyle and San Diego State athletic director Jim Sterk both said their schools were committed to joining in 2013 as football-only schools.

              "Nothing's changed. We're here at the conference meetings," Coyle said of the Big East. "It's great to learn a great deal about the conference and the direction and all that."


              He said there have been no discussions about staying in the Mountain West. As for a home for the other sports programs, Coyle said there have been continuing talks with the WAC and other leagues.

                "In the morning he would read the Bible with another coach. Then, in the afternoon, he would go out and cheat kids who had probably saved up money from mowing lawns to buy those raffle tickets. That's Jim Tressel." - former colleague to Jim Tressel as quoted in Sports Illustrated.
