much of the past decade, I’ve felt LU has a better Athletic Dept.
It’d be nice to see our revenue sports become respectable again.

Liberty makes NCAAT, VT doesn't... it's because CUSA is a weaker league and thus easier to win.
VCU makes NCAAT, VT doesn't... it's because VCU spends all their $$$ on hoops and doesn't have to support football.
(Insert B10 or SEC team here) makes NCAAT, VT doesn't... it's because those leagues are stronger than the ACC and generate more football revenue.
So, in summary:
-Being in a stronger league is bad when comparing the ACC to CUSA, but it's good when comparing the ACC to the B10 or SEC
-Having football hurts VT's ability to financially compete against "baskeball schools" that don't have football, but football money also makes B10 and SEC schools more competitive against VT hoops.
It's circular logic.

If you have vastly more resources than the schools in your conference, you're going to be consistently good
If you don't, then you're going to be up and down
Liberty has had more resources than just about every school they've ever been in a conference with
That does not mean they have a budget bigger than VTs, or an athletic department better than VTs...they simply make it easy to be consistently good among their peers by having the most resources

LMAO Talk about using logic. So by your post, I assume you believe CUSA would be a better home than the ACC for VT?
Your next to last statement is so illogical it defies comment.
