Does UVA even want to join the SEC?

They value elite academics. If not the BIG they would probably still want to associate with Stanford, Cal, Notre Dame etc. They don't fit with the SEC at all.

UNC and NC State will go together, period. This has been reported here in

If it was about overall Athletic Brand Stanford’s 1st taken, it’s NOT, it’s

My opinion is
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 04:57 PM ET
The P2 keeps vacillating between states/schools to keep us all
saret • 02/12/25 05:22 PM ET
Almost spot on. The P2 has already won this war
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 05:34 PM ET
I’m worried that we overestimate the importance of VA NC DC
HokieAl • 02/12/25 05:15 PM ET
The P2 doesn't need everyone they currently have.
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 05:39 PM ET
It's clear as day that UNC is definitely going to leave-

The question is when 2031 (6 yrs) or 2036 (11 yrs), a lot will happen in 6
Stech • 02/16/25 06:49 AM ET
Could be but if we are in the trash bin, the B12 will be right there too.**
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 05:01 PM ET
No. The "trash bin" will be-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 05:13 PM ET
You're making some pretty big leaps...
jesuisvtguy • 02/12/25 08:35 PM ET
Wow, I didn't realize WF, BC, and Duke weren't already ACC members.
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 10:17 AM ET
Can't understand that is what you want.
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 07:04 PM ET
I don't hate the ACC. I just recognize that the ACC is broken, and that-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 10:14 AM ET
And that is one of the main reasons your conference is having
Big12 guy • 02/12/25 07:47 PM ET
Not exactly true.
HOO86 • 02/15/25 09:06 PM ET
WVI and Cincy was a no brainer for the ACC in my opinion, but at the time,
Big12 guy • 02/16/25 08:23 AM ET
West Virginia is in significant decline
SMU Pony • 02/13/25 12:44 AM ET
WVU makes sense for the ACC because of rivalries.
HOO86 • 02/15/25 09:18 PM ET
No doubt. Louisville always made more sense to me, but as you know,
Big12 guy • 02/13/25 07:23 AM ET
The issue is that no big12 school will increase the value of the ACC...
jesuisvtguy • 02/12/25 08:38 PM ET
Oh please! You're starting to sound like Boston sports fans.
saret • 02/12/25 08:14 PM ET
Haha, Boston fans are the worst. My apologies. **

A sample of the emails being exchanged btwn UNC BOT chairman and trustees:

ACC is in extra trouble if any of the Georgia tax bill type stuff passes
HokieAl • 02/12/25 02:54 PM ET
Of course this is state taxes only.**
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 05:02 PM ET
TX, TN, FL don't have state income taxes so they're trying to level
1400E • 02/12/25 04:11 PM ET
True but my property tax here in Texas is humongous. Of course, a college
HouClone • 02/12/25 05:48 PM ET
We are all in a race to the bottom.
tarheelblue • 02/12/25 04:41 PM ET
I think this has already passed and is in effect in Alabama.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 03:42 PM ET
and Alabama just proposed the same bill today
HokieAl • 02/12/25 03:17 PM ET
Crazy that some representative or group even proposed... **
VT757to276 • 02/12/25 03:34 PM ET
ESPN has to be very careful about their next steps
HokieAl • 02/12/25 01:01 PM ET
UNC is the only school that can choose their conference
Sunsetunderground • 02/12/25 12:22 PM ET
I don't think there is any scenario where the B1G would take NC State
tarheelblue • 02/12/25 02:15 PM ET
My guess is the state politicians will make a deal
HokieAl • 02/12/25 09:22 PM ET
I imagine NC pols will be protective of the ACC
