The NCAA re-alignment situation continues to unfold.

The obvious prediction is that Stanford will join the ACC.

(we must note a few differences. it is Virginia and North Carolina that form the basis of the “yellow” state. Kentucky and Tennessee are fully Southern.)

/blue also Maryland is a Northern state now.
