Yep, it's no different than the hoo Academic disadvantage we all laugh at

Every ACC and SEC school with maybe the exception of Duke and Vandy are just regular schools, some are better at some things and some are not. There are great students at all of them and a lot of just average kids that pay the bills. If anyone thinks the academic requirements to get athletes in has anything to do with the academic rigor of the school, they are delusional. If they think any player on an SEC roster would be rejected by an ACC school because of academics, they are delusional.

Pac-12 5-0 and Big East 3-0

I’d rather see more mid majors than teams that barely break .500

That wouldn't be good for TV views **
HokiesACC2004 • 03/23/24 06:33 PM ET
As opposed to UVa or any of the other middling power conference teams
reestuart • 03/23/24 06:52 PM ET
I’d rather see fewer teams. There aren’t 68 teams deserving of a shot…**
marcbvtgm • 03/23/24 04:36 PM ET
I’m 100% with you on that. I’d be happy if it dropped to 48 teams. As many

Pretending a lot of the SEC schools aren't good schools is very UVA like.

UGA is incredibly difficult to get into out of st. Probably harder than VT**

I like your post, especially the question you ask at the end.
pine52x • 03/23/24 07:49 PM ET
Hard for their football recruits?**
Tech76G • 03/23/24 11:30 AM ET

No question and that had been true for many years***
sacramento hokie • 03/23/24 06:10 PM ET
In the 20204 rankings Tech, UGA and TAMU were tied for # 20. UF was 7th.
jrc3rd • 03/23/24 02:27 PM ET
Yes, UF is even harder. Basically UVA type level in terms of admisssions
catdaddy • 03/23/24 10:25 AM ET
Funny, live in GA and my son was accepted there but not UGA.**
