The rivalry between the UNC Tar Heels and the N.C. State Wolfpack could heat up thanks to law makers in Raleigh.

North Carolina state legislators advanced a bill on Tuesday that would require the two schools to play each other at least once annually in football as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The bill would also require them to play three other top North Carolina public system schools regularly.

The Tar Heels and Wolfpack are part of the ACC conference, which ensures they play each other on a regular basis. But with the recent changes in college conferences and the future of the ACC unknown, it’s possible the two schools join separate conferences.

The bill still has to pass two House committees before going to the full House for a vote. The North Carolina Senate will then get it’s chance to vote on the measure. If both chambers pass the legislation, it will move the desk of Governor Cooper, a UNC Chapel Hill alumni, to be signed into law.
