This is why ND is smart. I wish VT could separate football from other sport

The right approach for everyone is to be more like ND and have the football team completely separate from all the other sports when it comes to conference alignment. I’m fine with VT being an ACC basketball school. And wrestling and softball and track, etc. But football is the one thing where it would be nice to be part of a different group.

So you say you want to join a P2 conference. Schools must be able to

No problem with VT dropping down**
CrystalCoveHokie • 06/24/24 12:48 AM ET
We were nobody for a long time.
TomTurkey • 06/24/24 02:36 PM ET
At that price point I would opt out. At some point you just have to say it
wwhokie1 • 06/23/24 05:16 PM ET
I think we're there...
Gator Hokie • 06/24/24 07:37 AM ET
I don't disagree but that begs a question
VTCALS72 • 06/24/24 08:08 AM ET
Maybe….
Gator Hokie • 06/24/24 08:51 AM ET
the VTAD should have made a meme coin, followed by a pump and dump

No other program can do what they do **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/24/24 01:56 AM ET
I'd be all for it if we could also get the TV contract the ND has.**
Maroon Baboon • 06/23/24 12:51 PM ET
That will never happen, unless we get a bunch of Hokies running network...
EDGEMAN • 06/23/24 02:34 PM ET
I would never expect VT or any ACC school to get the ND contract
HokieAl • 06/23/24 03:11 PM ET
Heck, the big blue bloods will never get the ND contract **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/23/24 09:26 PM ET
FSU is a poverty school.
VPI 1924 • 06/23/24 12:30 PM ET
I would say "double-wide trailer trash" and oil production don't mix !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 06/23/24 03:42 PM ET
Good points, & it goes further, NCAA Pres said he sees an eventual tier 1.
Stech • 06/23/24 11:43 AM ET
Just ignore comments from the University of Illinois.

Conference Membership Based On What The University Can Afford to Pay
WarHog38 • 06/23/24 04:30 PM ET
Bingo
VPI 1924 • 06/23/24 12:24 PM ET
Tier 1?
LonghornHokie • 06/23/24 05:34 PM ET
A group that elite will not have Auburn
HokieAl • 06/23/24 11:40 PM ET
Add Georgia and make it 16 game schedule like NFL used to be **
OrlandoHokie • 06/23/24 07:57 PM ET
Definitely forgot them. Maybe swap out for UTenn.
LonghornHokie • 06/23/24 08:06 PM ET
I would probably leave UTenn and add 1-3 more schools along with UGA.
VTHokie2000 • 06/23/24 09:12 PM ET
They could play a 15 game schedule and play everyone each year **
OrlandoHokie • 06/23/24 07:43 PM ET
Can't do that. Some of them will end up with losing records.
Truthahn • 06/24/24 03:35 PM ET
Your top 6 for sure.
VPI 1924 • 06/23/24 07:29 PM ET
Swap UW for A&M if you want.
LonghornHokie • 06/23/24 07:48 PM ET
Tier 2 can go back to playing
VPI 1924 • 06/23/24 07:32 PM ET
I'm not sure the federal government and/or the courts will give schools
VTHokie2000 • 06/23/24 09:17 PM ET
In that case it’s Reparations!**
VPI 1924 • 06/24/24 04:50 AM ET
Or an evolution of things since the schools decided to sue the NCAA back in
VTHokie2000 • 06/24/24 08:26 AM ET
That is true and another reason the Big 12 is not really a good option
VTCALS72 • 06/23/24 11:26 AM ET
Any and all ideas of VT going to Big 12 is never a good option.**
VTizzle • 06/23/24 02:23 PM ET
Unless it's the only one left, then they look pretty good. **
Big12 guy • 06/23/24 03:15 PM ET
Even if the only one left, it won't be good.**
VTCALS72 • 06/23/24 05:05 PM ET
I'd rather be wrong than see your school in the AAC. **
Big12 guy • 06/23/24 05:19 PM ET
Some dont fully realize what the ACC would look like if the P2 went to 20.
hokieZ71 • 06/23/24 10:45 PM ET
I think the assumption that the B12 would essentially make 3X
VTCALS72 • 06/24/24 08:22 AM ET
The fact is that the Big 12’s new media rights contract with a significant
WBGV • 06/24/24 11:12 AM ET
No it hasn't
VTCALS72 • 06/24/24 06:03 PM ET
"ESPN’s silence on this issue has been deafening."
Will StewartAdmin • 06/24/24 11:27 AM ET
If ESPN would simply state that they expect to extend the media rights
WBGV • 06/24/24 01:44 PM ET
ESPN's position is that this isn't a public matter
daveinop • 06/25/24 01:49 PM ET
True, I would happily take the Big 12 over that **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/23/24 10:03 PM ET
Maybe 2-4, at first, but more will come later IMHO, just like ACC Big East
