Good call on Stanford. Not only AAU, but Olympic sports.

When you hear some of the arguments for UVA (AAU!!!! strong history in Olympic sports!!!!) --- if those things carried much weight, there would've been a feeding frenzy for Stanford. Instead, Stanford was lucky to get a lifeline from the ACC (and Notre Dame). You can say 85% of Expansion is football + media rights (where football drives the media rights). Then maybe 10% for basketball, and 5% for all the other stuff.

Not really football related but 55k student applications for 2024. WOW. **
uber hokie • 07/21/24 03:54 PM ET
Actually, it's an apples and oranges stat these days. The use of the common
UEMcGill • 07/22/24 04:59 PM ET
It took effort & cost money. The cost is what stopped me from applying to
Hoakie82 • 07/23/24 02:14 PM ET
Maybe a little but there are still some custom questions
Happy Dog • 07/23/24 05:51 AM ET
Agreed, most 17-18 year olds don't want to write 4 extra essays.
hokieluver • 07/23/24 04:21 PM ET
It's more than a little, it's a lot. And as more schools start waiving
UEMcGill • 07/23/24 12:26 PM ET
Know quite a few kids who have used the shotgun approach
Happy Dog • 07/23/24 12:57 PM ET
Wow...that's a lower % than our friends in C'Ville**
Tuckahokie • 07/22/24 12:30 PM ET
How many will be accepted?**
Happy Dog • 07/22/24 11:56 AM ET
The key is % offered, not enrolled. VT offer rate = 57%, UVA = 19%, **
True Hokie • 07/22/24 01:24 PM ET
UVA way more exclusive..**
True Hokie • 07/22/24 01:25 PM ET
UVa and VT are different
1947Sunbowl • 07/22/24 05:42 PM ET
UNC is the best comparison to UVA in terms of public school with smaller
Scream_On_D • 07/23/24 12:26 AM ET
Thank goodness!!!**
83Hokie • 07/22/24 07:29 PM ET
But if you take the total number of students who enroll at UVA next year...
EDGEMAN • 07/22/24 01:30 PM ET
Just an anecdote about Uva students in Arlington
Happy Dog • 07/23/24 06:07 AM ET
Sounds relative -- compared to rest of Virginia/USA, I'm gonna guess....
HWA • 07/23/24 05:50 PM ET
Exactly. And it's why UVa isn't so attractive to the B1G.
marcbvtgm • 07/22/24 02:01 PM ET
Maybe we should become more exclusive.
HokieDelNorte • 07/22/24 04:39 PM ET
Why? Size and the $$ that brings will be VT's ticket to P2 (if it happens).**
marcbvtgm • 07/25/24 12:14 PM ET
Football is exactly why UVa isn't so attractive to the B1G**
Pylons • 07/22/24 04:13 PM ET
It’s all about $$ and UVa doesn’t bring $$. And it’s about 2045, not 2025.
marcbvtgm • 07/22/24 06:11 PM ET
Those things without football people care about wouldn't really matter.
Pylons • 07/22/24 06:15 PM ET
Then explain UMd and Rutgers.
marcbvtgm • 07/25/24 12:13 PM ET
UMd and Rutgers are maybe best explained as "mistakes"
Pylons • 07/25/24 12:53 PM ET
I think their AAU status, along with being a state university puts them...
EDGEMAN • 07/22/24 02:14 PM ET
Oh good grief, the AAU argument. That and being a state U gets them zip.
marcbvtgm • 07/22/24 06:16 PM ET
How many non-AAU schools have the Big Ten added?
Hokie1992 • 07/23/24 07:35 AM ET
the Big Ten also hasn't taken any schools with tiny alumni/fanbases.
reestuart • 07/23/24 08:01 AM ET
Good call on Stanford. Not only AAU, but Olympic sports. ◄
HWA • 07/23/24 05:59 PM ET
Yep. Exactly. **
reestuart • 07/24/24 07:27 AM ET
For reference, Big Ten enrollments . . .
Hokie1992 • 07/23/24 10:18 AM ET
That's why I think VT would be a target well before UVa. Nebraska is
reestuart • 07/23/24 12:14 PM ET
I would guess 6-7k **
uber hokie • 07/22/24 12:16 PM ET
That's how many will enroll. Many more will be accepted.
Will StewartAdmin • 07/22/24 01:23 PM ET
Of course you are correct I didn’t even consider that.
uber hokie • 07/22/24 03:51 PM ET
S'all good.**
Will StewartAdmin • 07/22/24 11:03 PM ET
Is there any information available
GobblerCE • 07/22/24 02:50 PM ET
NIL....tic**
Seikoh_04 • 07/22/24 05:06 PM ET
Likely financial aid.
GreenvilleVT • 07/22/24 03:29 PM ET
In my tiny little bubble here in Radford...
Will StewartAdmin • 07/22/24 11:01 PM ET
$25k is a bargain.
GreenvilleVT • 07/26/24 05:21 PM ET
It's not like the "aggression" level is a choice
Pylons • 07/22/24 05:02 PM ET
When my daughter and I toured UGA in the spring…
vthokieq • 07/22/24 04:19 PM ET
The sec schools have great tours. **
GreenvilleVT • 07/26/24 05:34 PM ET
7,100 is target I’d heard; although I could see up to 7,500
hokiepro • 07/22/24 12:23 PM ET
its great for Virginia's Flagship University **
