Arrogant self-delusion? I'd call it wanting to compete on the big stage...

...and South Carolina has been having a much better time the last couple seasons in the SEC, than we have the easy ACC. We can't even be sure of win against ODU and Liberty anymore. We're irrelevant, and it's likely only going to get worse. You are also making the EXACT same illogical assumption that was made before we entered the ACC. Remember when Bill Brill, and that group was saying we could never compete in the ACC....yeah, because we didn't have acc resources. To each his own, but I have no desire to be a fan of a chicken-little program that doesn't want to compete at the adult table. If w/l record is the only goal, then let's drop down to FCS, because that's where the program is right now anyway. We are a middle pack FCS school. We need more money. We need more exposure. We need better recruiting. We need to be relevant. I absolutely did not miss the point.

VT and the ESPN Effect

SEC/B1G needs to morph into college version of AFC/NFC....

Knight Commission with NCFA and NCAA model is the answer. Been out there

Don't want to see VT "relegated" to the "minors"....

If VT can't afford to go the NCFA route then that is the answer. I would

Maybe more than two..But that's ESPN plan..$$$$$$**

And VT would basically be S. Carolina or worse - w/ a smaller stadium **

As opposed to what Tech has been lately??

The only point was VT can be a player in the ACC with less $$.
marcbvtgm 05/17/23 05:26 PM ET
Other than the Big 10 and SEC, that's the way it's headed

Still missing the point…**

We are going to be ODU, Liberty or James Madison

In the SEC, revenue bump can allow Hokie Club to convert to player payroll**

0.00 Gamecock fans would rather be in the ACC. Think about that.**

You COMPLETELY missed the point because you are stuck on a narrative.**

Your rebuttal was crapping on USC fans. Great argument.**

once, it was shown how much money we would lose vs other SEC schools..

We're already competing against the SEC now, whether we like it or not

VT’s stadium would expand, I don’t know by how much, but the crowd number
VPI47 05/17/23 09:35 AM ET
No it wouldn't. Huge art of delusion for what moving to the SEC will do.

VT spent most of the 21st century as ESPN darlings.
