In a recent article by Brian Murphy for WRAL, it's reported that North Carolina and NC State might find themselves unable to depart from the ACC without the explicit approval of the UNC System president and its board of governors. This proposed policy change is set to be discussed at the upcoming board meeting. Originally introduced in October, the draft of this policy alteration merely allowed the president to offer input on conference changes. However, the current version grants both the president and the board the authority to greenlight or veto such moves. This development arrives amidst Florida State's legal challenge against the ACC and a broader trend of major athletic brands gravitating towards the SEC and Big Ten conferences. The proposal, labeled as an adjustment to the "Policy on Intercollegiate Athletics," is scheduled for deliberation at the forthcoming Board of Governors' meeting in Raleigh. The initial review will occur within the university governance committee. The proposed policy mandates that chancellors must inform the UNC System president beforehand of any agreements that entail their institution's transition, withdrawal, or affiliation with an athletic conference association. Additionally, they must submit a financial plan for approval or disapproval by the president.
