N.C. State and UNC is win-win ... right now

Posted Aug 10, 2009
The question has been debated for a few days on The Fan - which program would you rather be in the ACC right now, UNC or N.C. State? I went with Carolina because of recognition. Sure it might be because of the basketball program but UNC has Butch Davis, which is name recognition and is more of a national-brand school. N.C. State in college football terms is recognizable but the Heels edge them overall. (WRAL Sports Fan)
