Most metrics have FSU, Clemson and UNC above VT in getting a P2 slot with some having Miami above. There's a good argument why VT should be the #1 target for SEC or BIG. 1. FSU - BIG doesn't care because they're not AAU. SEC doesn't care because they add nothing that UGA and Florida don't already bring. Proven to be a cancer and brings baggage of not being a team player. Will FSU sue SEC/BIG when things don't go their way or that they deserve more money than Vandy or Rutgers? 2. Clemson - same as FSU but replace Florida with USC. 3. UNC - Huge MBB brand but realignment is all about football and UNC falls way short. People love to talk about their potential to be a top program, but their ceiling is no higher than VT's. If you look at overall athletics, UNC is nothing special outside MBB and some women's sports but no one cares about those in realignment. 4. Miami - Mind boggling how anyone finds them to be attractive. VT has a much stronger program, fan support and alumni base (so does almost half the ACC). Miami is only being carried by its legacy that died 20 years ago. VT - football is #1 priority and a makes lots of money, unparalleled and passionate fan support despite the program struggling for a while, huge and wealthy and influential alumni base up and down the entire east coast, shares same cultural values as SEC schools, natural rivalries with several existing SEC schools, top academics in STEM. Zero reason why VT shouldn't be the #1 target in realignment. Only thing holding VT back is state politics.
