The top of the ACC, Big 12, and G5 can't compete with the SEC and BIG...

This playoff format is ridiculous, the games have been HORRIBLE, and the monied interests will "fix" it by further limiting access for the lesser conferences. This is the first and last time we'll see a multiple bid league outside of the new "Power 2." What's worse is that the divide will grow only larger as the rich get richer. This isn't exactly "breaking news" but outside of further expansion in which we're included, Virginia Tech's days as a player in major college athletics are more or less over. It sucks, but it's true. ** Edited by VTHokieCub at 1/1/2025, 2:41:58 PM

Not true, your hyperbole over the conference disparity is clearly over top

BS, he's totally right**

It's not hyperbole. It's math.

Please stop...

I should add.. ASU 250 yards. Texas 130....
jesuisvtguy • 01/01/25 03:19 PM ET
Ah, scoreboard!**

True! And, trust me, I was pulling for ASU. I loathe TX and the SEC.
VTHokieCub • 01/01/25 06:40 PM ET
I still say everybody else besides the b10 and sec, should join forces

I hope that's what eventually happens. **

Our days as a player in major college athletics

Agreed that the revenue gap may prevent VT from returning to glory...
jesuisvtguy • 01/01/25 03:26 PM ET
Need a CBA. This is professional sports now. **

Except a Final 4, and super regionals in baseball and softball!?
hokiepro • 01/01/25 03:17 PM ET
Super regionals? Not College World Series?**
Pride_and_Joy • 01/01/25 04:03 PM ET
Not really. We've had our moments in men's/women's hoops and non-revenue...
VTHokieCub • 01/01/25 03:09 PM ET
We had a five game hot streak in MBB one season
Pride_and_Joy • 01/01/25 03:18 PM ET
Wrestling, softball, baseball, both soccer programs, and both T&F programs.

One of the many reasons I want CF to go to a relegation and promotion
Maroon Baboon • 01/01/25 02:56 PM ET
When was the last time City, United, Liverpool were relegated?
Pride_and_Joy • 01/01/25 03:00 PM ET
Nottingham Forest is #3 in the table and the hottest team in the PL
Maroon Baboon • 01/01/25 03:10 PM ET
Boise-PSU wasn’t horrible at all
