I used to watch several of those podcast, not any more.

Each comes from a wishful outcome point of view. but IMHO Flugar got one thing right with his "the biggest domino falls first." The biggest domino is ND but they are not in the game. The next biggest is UNC plain and simple. I hate it but IIWII. They are the larger public school with a national brand in a non P2 area. I have no doubt they are angling for UVA. I know UNC thinks they have the power to dictate because they have run the ACC for years. The real reason they want UVA is that ties in Virginia which has a mega population center. Simple put with UVA, the state of VA gets in the area with no real threat to UNC then owning the NC/VA area. They don't want teams who could really challenge them for supremacy in viewers, fans etc. They do not want to have to compete with NCSU and VT because they know if those 2 have a level playing field, UNCs supremacy prospect fall a lot.

Fluguar lost all credibility by saying UNC and UVA are "joined at the hip"

Might be right on this 1, UNC loves UVA according 2 ESPN sources, and

Exactly what is happening IMHO, but Va Tech &UVA would be better off in B1G**
Stech 03/28/25 11:23 PM ET
Yeah, that's just silly to think it is actually true.**

Sounds like one of the few things he may get right actually. **

I'm afraid you're wrong about almost everything in this post.
Baltimore_Hokie 03/28/25 09:58 AM ET
Actually I am not making a comparison to VT at all
VTCALS72 03/28/25 01:07 PM ET
"...both of which would be much more lucrative for ND"

"Kinda" ??
TerryD 03/28/25 11:56 AM ET
Think ND is open to a Big East re-up w/Duke/Cuse/UConn/BC/Cal/Stanford/etc?
hokieZ71 03/28/25 01:22 PM ET
Yes.
Baltimore_Hokie 03/28/25 03:22 PM ET
I think they just see the $. **

ND has all the money it needs and more.

I meant the posters on this board thinking that they will join a

Even so, when it comes to building conferences, UNC/UVA2SEC makes sense
hokieZ71 03/28/25 07:44 AM ET
I think UVA / UNC to the Big Ten makes more sense than the SEC and
MVIII 03/28/25 10:02 AM ET
This is the best case scenario for VT getting into the P2.
Maroon Baboon 03/28/25 10:24 PM ET
false narrative.......
1947Sunbowl 03/28/25 07:04 AM ET
UVa hates(sports related) UNC as much as VT
MrFantastic! 03/28/25 06:58 AM ET
You’re dead wrong about UVA Carolina…
ombandit 03/28/25 02:00 AM ET
Does UNC care?**
HokiesACC2004 03/28/25 05:31 PM ET
First of all what does "joined at the hip" even mean?
