Posting History (130)

AAU is about research dollars. In academic circles, classroom and research

are different sides of the same coin. Many profs focus on research and learve classroom to GA and others. Is it really a sign of top academics. In't Sony Brook and University of Buffalo AAU.

I bet you Big 10 knows the schools close to AAU membership

and is wondering how to handle Miami and FSU. And ensure whatever move they make, ND gives up indy.

State hasn't eon a conference championship since 1979

this isn't hand grenades. getting close to the ACC championship isn't winning on. See UNC and UVA

THe Big 10 has a history with USE/UCLA and Pac10

playing every year in the Rose Bowl. The SEC does not have the same relationship with the Pac 10

West Virginia claims they had a contract from SEC when Texas A&M was 2 join

nand ESPN told SEC take Missouri. No mention of VT. ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/27/2022, 9:24:40 PM

What would it take for us to vote to dissolve the ACC

BIG 10 promises to take 4 ACC schools including UVA SEC takes promises to take 4 ACC schools including VT Would Whit or Sands vote to dissolve GOR because in this scenario the golden handcuffs are removed. Would we vote to get them removed and join the SEC. ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/27/2022, 9:14:57 PM

The economic power of a NC and VA school to the Big 10

they have California. Washington and Oregon are smaller UNC and NC make the most economic sense beyond ND n 2007, Delany’s brainchild, the Big Ten Network — a cable channel dedicated to the athletic events of the conference’s schools — launched. The reason Maryland might be appealing: a local school would give the Big Ten a better case to get its network on “basic” cable packages in and around Baltimore and Washington. Therefore, the conference could charge cable companies more for each home that receives the network in a market in which it has a member school than it can for homes that are out-of-market. ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/27/2022, 7:47:54 PM ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/27/2022, 7:48:51 PM

Off campus medical schools and AAU

Penn State's is in Hershey Maryland's is in Baltimore I thought having ours in Roanoke prevented us from counting their research grants toward our total

NY Times most dominant college football brand per zip code

look who dominates virginia https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/03/upshot/nca... The media telling it like it is. Not some dumb blog writer or internet talking head. ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/23/2022, 4:29:43 PM

When did colleges become for profit enterprises

I mean has everyone of them become theUniversity of Phoenix???????????? ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/23/2022, 3:34:06 PM

1.3 million watch vt each week on tv. way more than UVA and MD. Not all DC.

but still VT has value that talking head writers who just blog click bait don't full understand at times. Plus they are not the decision makers.

Iguess that is per team niot total value

So would need to take an average ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/21/2022, 7:54:44 PM

IF you combine Big 12 + Pac 12 + ACC

this chart with today's and tomorrow's anticipated tv deals ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/21/2022, 7:45:54 PM ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/21/2022, 7:55:24 PM

I ran marketing for

division of a public company for decases rvenue was minimal from those states. Plus Bi 12 territory. I owa qho carea. Minnsota. Indana small stest, 80$ of our rewvwnue was from the largest cities and states. The rest, I ran the numbers by metro and state, but when it came to growing revenue. I would draw a huge circle in the middle of the country. Leave out Texas. Down to Alabama and go "wasterland". Very litte revenue.

and zerp NOVA HS kids go to VT

I know parents from other schools with kids at VT that go to VT games.

As more kids chooae VT

even fans and alimni from orher schools srart following and watching.

Do you know, the Big 10

got higher fees when MD joined the Big 10 even though I am sure not everyone in MD watches the terp games. Same with Rut

number 2 this year for business

#1 last year according to CNBC. Many of the wealthiest counties in the country (Loudoun, Fairfax, Arllington). It has mony, people, and eyeballs

how are tjey figuring this - future tv desal value per school

that future SEC and Big 10 contracts will be $100 million "per team" "per school" "erprogram" tjat is 1/6 billion. Nothing has been negotiated or signed. Where is thisnumber coming from for a "future" TV cntract. I have a hard time seeing ESPAN paying $100M for vandy, maryland, rutger. missouri with cost cutting pressure and lower viewship ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/21/2022, 9:57:12 AM

the next round will be a fight between the Big 10 and SEC for VA/NC 2 FLA

qwill the SEC fight for Southern dominance. Will the Big 10 attempt to cut into their core territory and become truly national. Going UVA/UNC/Clemson/Ga Tech/FSU/Miami plus ND or Wash/Oregon or does the SEC lock it down VT/UVA/UNC/NC State/Clemson/Florida State plus Miami, Ga Tech,and maybe OK State and WVU ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/20/2022, 9:10:47 PM

No one wants VT in the SEC because if Hampton Roads recruiting picks up

again and another Mike Vick shows up. The SEC will lose advantage in recruiting and have to play the recruits. VT has shown twice they will take advantage of opportunities presented by new money or a new league to raise their game. First in the Big East then the ACC. They stepped up both times from unwanted invitees crashing the party to conference champion. UVS]A is no threat to SEC dominance of Virginia recruiting and it another easy win ala South Carolina. Missouri. They are no threat to Georgia, Florida or Tennessee winning the East ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/20/2022, 9:05:45 PM ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/20/2022, 9:51:55 PM

So tge entire college football landscape is going to be fighting over the

powerhouse UVA and send VirginiaTech to the AAC or Big 12 Because UVA owns the Virginia market. VIrginia Tech has only Blackburg. The SEC abd Big 10 will collide one day in VA and NC to complete the regional (South) or Natiowide (Big 10) vision of both cofereces But neither conferebce wabts tge bigger school. Both wabt the hstiry and prestiige of UVA football Am I suppose to believe this hook line and sinker ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/19/2022, 6:58:18 PM

me too. stop watching their trash

I could care less about the Egg Bowl (Ole Miss/Miss State), Tenn/Florida. Texas A&M vs Missouri or Arkansas. South Carolina v Kentucky. Anyone vs Vandy,

The best thing VT can do to get ready for next round

every Hokie watch every game. Recruit family, kids, parents, aunts, uncles to watch games. and win on the field. And grow to a 40,000 student university between Blacksburg, Roanoke, and DC.

but if you you value the matchups

LSU Orklahoma Alabama Oklahoma Auburn Oklahoma Florida Oklahoma Texas A&M Oklahoma - when games means smething in SEC race same with Red River Shootout you watching?????? ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/11/2022, 9:02:04 PM

Why does South Carolina have value

Because the games they play against big SEC teams. Before then, South Carolina was on par with VT. So I you add some schools to these leagues, their value will increase. Same with Arkansas. and Missouri. Thy were Texas Tech and Oklahoma State - no different. Now being in the SEC with those matchups, their value has increased. Not the same with the Big 10 Maryland and Rutgers have gained no value Nebraska has lost value IMHO Penn State has remained about the same IMHO SEC ads value Big 10. You got to bring it yourself, the match up do not add as much value. Penn State / Maryland is still Penn State / Maryland. A local game. ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/11/2022, 8:56:41 PM

Remember the 70s and 80s appply today

Rose was Big 10 vs Pac 10 Sugar was SEC Orange was Big 8 ACC was locaked out of national championship with one exception Sugar and Orange had one slot for a Wilcard Which gave rise to Clemson, Miami, Penn State, and Florida State to national prominance. Until then PSU had a lane type stadium. Florida State was closer to James Madison before Bowden, it was a girl's school. And Maimi did not win ACC did not have a New Year's Bowl Tie In. But Clemson got the Orange Bowl bid. College Football grew because it allowed new powers to have access and split the TV money. The problem now is the conferences have gotten involved The money use to be between the networks, the bowls, and the schools We need to blow up the conference, just have Power 50 footbal with 50 teams and put them in new PODS. Eliminate the SEC and Hig 10. Use the brands to name the PODs. get rid of the tntity for a new one

You can make an argument, Vt joining the SEC

is cloest to becoming SEC ready due to their commitment to the sport and the past two times they joined a league. They got better. And won the league. Can't say that about Miami. ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/11/2022, 8:47:03 PM

One BIG factor in VT's favor

1) They joined the Big East and won. Took advantage of the opportunity 2) They joined the ACC and won (until Foo) So twice they joined a conference and used it to get better So if they join the SEC, the extra money they know and have the market to take advantage of the opprtunity and have proven twice they know how to do it.

The only rumor that makes sense to me - I think SEC wants the south

and locak the Big 10 out was two ist of four 1) Florida State 2) Clemson 2) UVA 4) UNC :List 2 1) Oklahoma State 2) Virginia Tech 3) Miami 4) West Virginia - switch out for NC state Now other than Georgia Tech - SEC owns the entire south and their entire footprint ** Edited by LocalExperts at 7/11/2022, 8:41:34 PM

Going with that logic

add Texas Tech and Stanford to get Notre Dame. Calfiornia and Texas market
