OT: Next Up for the NCAA: UCF

Sounds like UCF is next on the NCAA's university tour.  Interesting if it has anything to do with their recent success in football recruiting but looks to be leaning toward hoops.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/6870978/university-central-florida-likely-get-ncaa-inquiry-letter

 

 

The University of Central Florida is expected to receive an official notice of inquiry from the NCAA regarding potential recruiting violations in the school's football and men's basketball program, sources have told ESPN.com.

In addition, NCAA investigators have already begun interviewing people connected to potential violations. Sources also said that they expect the investigation will lead to the NCAA bringing formal charges against the Conference USA member.

Dust off and retool the old jokes about the violations not helping any.

As someone who lived in ACC country for a good while, I can say that while definitely not a primary rival, there is some disdain from Virginia for UNC and vice versa.

However, it's more an Illinois-Michigan situation than a Michigan-Michigan St situation.

I'd say UNC isn't even high on UVa's list (behind Maryland and VT). For UNC, I'd say it goes Duke, NC State, and then Maryland/Virginia.

Nobody cares about Wake Forest with the lone exception being when Chris Paul was there.

As someone who also lived in ACC country for a good while, and conveniently went to school there so probably knows what he's talking about, I would say it's anything but an Illinois-Michigan situation.

I don't think there is a particularly comparable situation to Michigan, actually.

You'd be right that UNC is generally behind Maryland and VT on UVA's list, and that UVA is behind Duke and NC State on UNC's.  But you'd be wrong if you said every fan of both schools felt that way.  There are UVA fans who hate UNC more.  And there are UNC fans who think NC State is an ugly little third wheel in the Triangle and that UNC's in-state rivalry slot is already taken.

Im a huge UNC hoops fan, and UVA and UNC arent really rivals now, but they were back in the day around the time UVA had Ralph Sampson. They usually were battling it out each year for a spot in the NCAA tourney. I believe back then, they only took the conference champion to the big dance. I could be wrong  though.

Both schools have great baseball programs, so Im sure they consider each other rivals in baseball. Not sure about football.
