- Having NC State join the Big 12 would bring a significant boost to the conference in terms of competitive balance, geographic reach, and overall brand strength, enriching the league's football landscape. NC State, with its solid football program and passionate fan base, would be a valuable addition to the Big 12, enhancing the quality and excitement of the conference.
Competitive Balance
NC State’s football program has consistently demonstrated strong performance in the ACC, with regular bowl game appearances and competitive play against top-tier teams. Their inclusion in the Big 12 would add another strong competitor, raising the overall level of play and ensuring that the conference remains one of the most competitive in the nation. This enhanced competitive balance would lead to more thrilling games and high-stakes matchups, drawing in fans and increasing the conference’s national visibility.
Geographic Reach
Adding NC State would expand the Big 12’s geographic footprint into the Southeastern United States, tapping into new markets and recruiting territories. North Carolina is a state rich in football talent, and NC State’s presence in the Big 12 would give the conference access to this vital recruiting ground. This expanded footprint would not only aid in recruiting efforts but also help in building new regional rivalries and enhancing the conference’s national appeal.
Fan Base and Atmosphere
NC State’s passionate and loyal fan base would bring vibrant energy to the Big 12. Known for their enthusiastic support, Wolfpack fans create an electric atmosphere at Carter-Finley Stadium, which would translate well to the Big 12’s dynamic game-day environments. The addition of NC State would lead to increased attendance at games and higher television ratings, further solidifying the conference's financial stability and marketability.
Institutional Benefits
Academically, NC State is a respected institution, known for its strong engineering and research programs. This aligns with the Big 12’s commitment to academic excellence and would foster greater academic collaborations and partnerships within the conference. The academic prestige of NC State would enhance the overall reputation of the Big 12, attracting top student-athletes who value both athletic and academic success.
Economic and Branding Impact
Economically, NC State’s inclusion would bring significant benefits to the Big 12. Increased ticket sales, merchandise revenue, and media rights deals would result from the expanded fan base and heightened interest in the conference. The Wolfpack’s strong brand, combined with the Big 12’s existing powerhouse programs, would create a more formidable and appealing conference for media partners and sponsors.
In summary, having NC State join the Big 12 would bring competitive strength, expand the geographic reach, energize fan engagement, enhance academic collaboration, and provide substantial economic benefits. These factors would collectively elevate the Big 12’s stature, ensuring its continued growth and success in the evolving landscape of college athletics.

Seriously, Baylor still has sports? Only 1 college team got a bowl game, a Men's BB sweet 16 and a CBB Super regional...that's NC State.
I think Virginia tech Miami Pittsburgh Louisville will be a great fit
Big 12's 4 best to get would be Pitt, VA Tech, Louisville & (NC State or Miami)
Apparently Drake still does NOT understand the nc governance Authiorithy. The unc B o G has the power and authority as to whether unc and or NCState can or cannot leave the Acc. The individual b of t for say unc chaphel hill or ncsu Raleigh have input into the process- but it is controlled and run by nc B of G. Don’t bring a Big12 guest on to speak about nc power structures…
I think Louisville, Pitt, VT, NC State, and Georgia Tech are the best the BIG 12 could do.
My 4 would be GA Tech, VA Tech, Louisville, and Pitt
I think North Carolina State, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Duke, will be a great fit for the BIG 12.
Cameron do you know ANYTHING about VT football?? Good grief. VT is 3rd in ACC in football attendance and has won more titles than any school besides Clemson & FSU (4) since expansion in 2004
I am from Michigan and I always watch ncstate vs NC.
The Big 12 should get Pitt, Miami, NCST, Louisville, if they can VaTech NO one else.
If thge Big 12 can only except for schools from the ACC, and if these are available, who would be the outside school looking in?: Miami, NC State, VT, Pitt, Louisville.
Who will replace these ACC schools?
The greed of the ACC finally catching up with them. Hope it was worth it fools.
WVU's the best party school... everyone knows that
Drake you for got WVU been in big 12 for 10 years now we need closer home games
I want Duke to go in any conference that Carolina is not in, I could care less whether Duke plays them ever again!
This podcast is officially off the rails. Drake just rolls nonsensical comments off the tongue as though they are facts. NC State is not going to the Big12 and this law is not “suggesting” that at all. Knowing NC politics and how deeply engrained college football and basketball is in the state with big time rivalries is just lawmakers making sure that no matter what happens we are going to play. State and Carolina have played each other in football for 120 years and is like the Hatfields and McCoys; the Empire and the Rebellion, etc., and lawmakers will see that tradition stays alive.
Virginia tech would absolutely fit in the big12 the culture atmosphere fun loveable school 🏫 Virginia tech and iowa state would match up well and so would lousville ! Jamie
What the heck are they talking about. NEITHER UNC NC state nor DUKE are leaving the ACC
