Alabama throws LOTS of scholarship $ at out-of-state students**
GoFightingGobblers • 07/27/24 08:36 PM ET
They have to because the Alabama educational system sucks big time.
RJHokie • 07/27/24 09:03 PM ET
You can also add Tennessee to that list !**

Stanford is a different animal
1947Sunbowl • 07/28/24 08:00 AM ET
Stanford is definitely a cultural fit for the ACC-

Academic rankings are important to everyone else**
SpeakToDamien • 07/27/24 02:01 PM ET
And have zero to do with conference affiliation **
Pylons • 07/27/24 02:14 PM ET
No, that's wrong. The presidents like to be associated with elite schools**
SpeakToDamien • 07/27/24 08:19 PM ET
Which doesn't mean conference affiliation impacts
Pylons • 07/27/24 09:12 PM ET
Kinda sounds like what many think of the B12.**
Big12 guy • 07/27/24 08:39 AM ET
No, the difference, there are those who know
VTCALS72 • 07/27/24 11:48 AM ET
exactly that is why UVA and VT are intrigued with Big 10
1947Sunbowl • 07/27/24 07:57 AM ET
Wouldn't enhance any "peer relationships"**
Pylons • 07/27/24 01:58 PM ET
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and STATE UNIVERSITY 🦃. And more...
Maroon Baboon • 07/26/24 09:24 PM ET
I think he meant to say 'flagship' university instead of state university.
manassashoo • 07/27/24 09:27 AM ET
You would think. But the writer should have indicated that in the article.
Maroon Baboon • 07/27/24 10:39 AM ET
UVA has been competing with the SEC for National Championships in

They just took OU
Marooned • 07/26/24 06:21 PM ET
True on academics
Hokie12thman • 07/26/24 06:17 PM ET
True, state govt won't allow UVa to SEC, w/VT to anything but SEC or B1G.

VT academics would be 6th in the SEC based on latest USNews rankings.

Yes, Vanderbilt, Florida, Texas are above us. VT tied w/UGA,Texas A&M
