SEC won't be poaching in North Carolina

Posted Aug 17, 2011
When word got out that the SEC had a gentleman's agreement not expand into existing markets, the state of North Carolina suddenly became prime territory. Could the conference poach the Tar Heels and Blue Devils, which would allow the SEC to snag highly valued brands? Would NC State get a call? It's an entertaining mental exercise, but that's about it. Nothing more, nothing less. Even the Wolfpack, the most intriguing possibility of the trio, isn't going to ditch a conference it helped build. (WRAL Sports Fan)
