clemson81nc

it sounds like fsu/miami/clem/unc are the drivers but they

have swayed, it would seem, NC St and VT. The best way to poach two more is probably to find them landing spots? If the recent news the B10 not only wants oregon and wash but also stan and cal then it means the SEC would respond. That could be driving some of this along with the B12 apparently thinking there is more value in acc schools than what would be left of the p12.

If the best Clemson and F$U could do was the B12, where they would be...

Well, "holding the bag" part is the key isn't it?
Techsupport • 04/28/23 12:22 PM ET
B10 would be smart to offer eight ACC universities to join IMO
Truthahn • 04/28/23 02:57 PM ET
Given how overrated B10 football is, that would be winnable for VT**
WestyHokie • 04/28/23 05:17 PM ET
Very difficult to believe VT and UVA would be on different pages...
Techsupport • 04/28/23 09:57 AM ET
Also tough to believe the UNC would vote to dissolve the ACC.**
Mr. Touchdown • 04/28/23 03:38 PM ET
VT joining probably came with an offer to help convince UVa.
Truthahn • 04/28/23 03:02 PM ET
Can confirm. I recorded
mancunian • 04/28/23 09:17 AM ET
I thought this would be a link to an SEC Short
Truthahn • 04/28/23 03:25 PM ET
hallelujah!!! but no uva then no vt

A couple of questions…..
CrystalCoveHokie • 04/27/23 09:42 PM ET
The 8 is because ...
Truthahn • 04/28/23 02:43 PM ET
The ACC controls itself. 8 schools is a majority vote. #1 makes #2 moot.**
Techsupport • 04/28/23 10:00 AM ET
But unless there is a concrete offer of a desirable place to go, how do you

Let me guess.......

Bang, I'll believe it, when I see it. We are always "last" to join any
FLKEYSHOKIE • 04/27/23 07:46 PM ET
What leverage do we have to actually be first?**
VaTechHokiesACC • 04/28/23 05:13 AM ET
Not 1st, but in the middle. Very quiet, hoping no one notices we're there.

Virginia market pops to mind...
Techsupport • 04/28/23 12:30 PM ET
Big already has the DVM market with MD and PSU

"that SEC thing will never work out..."**
banishedtothelounge • 04/27/23 07:50 PM ET
Not directed to you because you are just posting a rumor but I will believe

clemson81nc • 04/27/23 07:34 PM ET
Skeptical about this. But if true, only want if VT goes SEC or B10, not B12**
hokie77 • 04/27/23 09:10 PM ET
Which means we would probably be headed to the B12
EDGEMAN • 04/28/23 11:15 AM ET
So true...lol. If the rumor has legs, that means the GOR is doing its job.
Techsupport • 04/28/23 12:43 PM ET
The thing is
Seikoh_04 • 04/27/23 08:06 PM ET
They don't need to offer that much to the new schools.
Truthahn • 04/28/23 02:32 PM ET
I think this only happens in a cosmic, economic paradigm shift
Techsupport • 04/28/23 10:04 AM ET
Hope it ain't so.**
