There is a lot of poker be played by 🐭 and 🦊 neither wants a bidding war

for the teams they want. As for the Virginia and North Carolina schools, if a conference just takes 2, the other 2 would be great prospects for the other P2. Consequently, I see the Oregon and Washington ramp deal is given to both state schools, probably from one conference. Virginia Tech and NC State have the better football programs and Virginia and North Carolina have the better basketball programs. Basketball is going to either completely break off or expand and the Sweet 16 is going to be paid like the College Football Playoff money, which I think eventually goes to 16 IMHO. PS I don’t think anybody moves until they settle the pay for play proposal proposed by the NCAA. It’s the Big Bang, not adding more teams IMHO.

Any idea if this guys is reliable?**
JohnsonCItyHokie • 01/10/24 09:23 PM ET
I don't think anything he says about the SEC is true or inside info

Not reliable. Throws poo at the wall daily, hopes something sticks**

I agree. They are all waiting for pay to play to show a form**
vtfaninnc • 01/14/24 04:50 PM ET
I wish it would just happen. Either way, just get it over with.
hokieZ71 • 01/12/24 07:51 AM ET
I think “pay for play” by the NCAA and how that is received precedes all

vtfaninnc • 01/14/24 04:52 PM ET
Other people are saying it’s UNC+UVA AND VT+NC State.
hokieball • 01/11/24 09:09 AM ET
I agree with this. I think it mostly comes down to the Virginia and NC

Stech • 01/10/24 11:16 PM ET
Even if true, doesn’t say anything about timing
HokieAl • 01/10/24 10:17 PM ET
Why?
VTCALS72 • 01/15/24 11:43 AM ET
And in the scenario, I would hope for a Big Ten invite.
Maroon Baboon • 01/11/24 12:28 AM ET
The B1G has to desire an east coast football division.
hokieZ71 • 01/12/24 01:12 PM ET
Too many

More than likely, it will be the B12 that goes to 24 (more?) first. The

The PAC may very well be resurrected, but it won't be "P" level.

I'm basing that presumption that the SEC and BIG poach some ACC
Big12 guy • 01/13/24 01:21 PM ET

Interesting that those schools all of a sudden became more valuable

The money thing for the players will be worked out. I don't see them
Big12 guy • 01/13/24 05:46 PM ET
BTW, I think the portal traffic will slow down when we start paying players
33laszlo99 • 01/14/24 01:15 AM ET
I don't understand the enthusiasm for the NCAA plan for in-house NIL.

I hope.....

The media companies behind it are the same that run the NFL.
hokieZ71 • 01/12/24 04:50 PM ET
I think the SEC sees that it is VT and not UVA that will get more
VTCALS72 • 01/11/24 06:02 PM ET
Looks like a protected Tweet. I can't see it at least. Please paraphrase
