Tapping into new markets is absolutely one of their primary goals, though. That's not conjecture, they've gone on record saying as much.

State/Carolina are tied together thanks to the legislature. I could see us leaving the ACC out of spite towards Swofford but it won't happen unless that gets repealed.
And our fanbase is plenty rabid- go check out a little place called packpride.com. We just don't have the Wal-Mart fans. Most State fans either went here or have family ties.

Note, that was a dig at UNC. Wasn't serious.
The thing that makes UNC actual SEC quality is a massive cheating scandal and getting away with it.

Never gonna happen, but part of me wants this.
Just let everyone play everyone. Too many hurddles to name for this to happen.

Did it occur to anyone else that FSU/Florida could be for all the marbles?
Meaning bowl eligibility. Excuse me while I die laughing
Rabid wasn't the best word choice, but growing up in/near Tobacco Row(that term probably dates me a lot) NC State fans were the most amicable, not lunatic, non-angry and un-entitled fans unlike some groups UNC like Duke and even Alabama bring out the sidewalk alumni and Walmart fans. Unc/Duke got so damned tiresome and then you add in the wannabes that were UVa fans and I had to get away sportswise.
FSU already has or is going to reschedule the cupcake they missed for Championship Weekend so as much as I'd like that scenario to be true they should be OK.
Florida on the other hand...
Assuming you're referring to Tobacco Road, that term is still very common here, although RTP/"the Triangle" has overtaken it in everyday usage, particularly by the folks who've come here from up North.
And you're fine. I just took issue with "rabid" because our fans are incredibly passionate but mostly nice people. We're not entitled because we know far too well that success is fleeting and won't be given to us on a silver platter, unlike those folks in Chapel Hill and Durham. I know the UVA type. They tend to be tied to the Carolina wine and cheese folks. Same people, slightly different cloth.

I mean, he's going to be on everyone's shortlist when it comes to the Nebraska potential opening. UNL fans have been groveling for him damn near shortly after he got to Orlando.
How are you a Bama fan?

I'm pretty sure it's real. Saw it on Twitter posted by someone in Tennessee.
