It seems Carolina has been left out in the cold. The ACC has grown weary of waiting for Carolina to get its athletic situation in order. And the ACC knows that since Jim Carlen, the athletic director here at Carolina, is opposed to conference affiliation it would be foolish to keep waiting when the right university, Georgia Tech, is more than eager to make the ACC an eight team conference once again. T1IE ACC wants Georgia Tech for two very important reasons. The biggest reason is the Yellow Jackets are situated in Atlanta, the ' largest city in the southeast Also with the Yellow Jackets in the PnnfPPM1/>0 (ho A PP ttnll Umm - - WWCMVA VUVV U1V t IV/V/ ff til liavc tAjwuucu television coverage which ' means more money. , One thing has definitely been learned from the admission of Georgia Tech to the ACC; the ACC is not going to sit around and wait for USC to get back in the conference. It is sad in one way because not too long ago Carolina was considering possible reaffiliation with the ACC. *nie vote on the board was 8-5 not to seek admission. THIS WAS the signal to the ACC. Since Carolina's Board of Trustetes did not want to get back, the ACC looked elsewhere for the eighth team to fill out the conference. From 1971, when Carolina withdrew, up until the board's vote in 1976 the ACC left open the door for . Carolina to get back in the conference. After seeing the writing on the wall the ACC looked elsewhere. Hie end result is ACC affiliation for Georgia Tech while Carolina stubbornly remains an independent in a land of conference-oriented schools.
