So a good week for NCSU in hoops gives them an inside track all of sudden ?

Or is it UNC has the juice to demand State and UVa and VT dont have the juice to demand each other? Whatever - I'm pretty sure it aint going down like that.

Flugaur does have an incredible track record on conference realignment

If it happens the way you just laid out

I haven’t wanted to be in the ACC since 2011

I’m sure that’s true, but it doesn’t make u objective, shows some ACC hate,

It seems likes every conference has blood on their hands at different times

The Big 12 certainly has been left for dead a number of times.

ACC IMHO, will survive but not making the same money from ESPN, another

Survived, but not the same conference. Like the Big East**

Definitely not the same, but they did manage to get a six year

Hokie83 • 04/10/24 10:01 AM ET
Good. Do you think that VT and UVa end up in different conferences?
TDVick • 04/10/24 10:34 AM ET
Could go either way, VA Legislators will want both in a Good Home **
Hokie83 • 04/10/24 12:18 PM ET
UVA could find homes for other sports in the Big 10, but th SEC not so much
Stech • 04/10/24 01:05 PM ET
For VT, hoping that good home is either SEC or B1G (not B12).**
