Report: Big Ten, SEC to battle for UNC, Virginia in future conference expansion

If the Big Ten were to expand again, it appears North Carolina and Virginia would be strong candidates for the league.

The Big Ten and SEC are reportedly very interested in adding North Carolina and Virginia should either league look to continue their expansion. OutKick had the report.

Both the Big Ten and SEC are at 16 teams with recent expansion that’ll officially begin next year, but both have long been rumored to continue adding to its footprint. With the uncertainty of the ACC, it makes a lot of sense that North Carolina and Virginia would be on the move.

I personally believe both the Tar Heel and Cavaliers would make great additions to the Big Ten. They aren’t necessarily within the Midwest but would overall align with a lot of the other schools in the league in both football and basketball.
