Am I the only one here who’s optimistic about the ACC’s

prospects for the first time since Md bolted? Much has already been made about the expanded playoffs. If we’re now becoming “PSU 2.0”, what does that mean for league perception particularly with adding another conference game to the schedule? We have other schools aggressively moving to lock down their coaches as a sign to their intentions to get and stay competitive. We also brought in SMU with their deep pockets and they immediately made their presence known. At the same time, the B1G is melting down over the PE issue. Without question the landscape continues to change. It’s just not as bad a view from the current perch as it used to be.

If I were the Big-10, the two teams I would be looking at

Good grief...are people here still romanticizing AAU status?**

Miami as a NE school? Huh?**

The ACC has a good chance of surviving
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/06/25 11:35 AM ET
The B1G is hardly "melting down" over that PE deal.**
Pylons • 12/05/25 02:46 PM ET
Well they haven’t gone litigious yet like we did; but
Marooned • 12/05/25 08:43 PM ET
One Michigan board member suggested they *could consider* leaving the B1G
Pylons • 12/05/25 08:52 PM ET
Respectfully, I wouldn’t trivialize the situation (link)
Marooned • 12/05/25 10:21 PM ET
I'm not trying to trivialize the situation.
Pylons • 12/05/25 10:42 PM ET
Yeah, this isn’t much of a blip on their radar. **

And cultural fit means what and is important in a sports league why?**
Pylons • 12/04/25 08:37 PM ET
I dunno, fit seems to work for the SEC

Geography isn't culture
Pylons • 12/05/25 12:14 PM ET
The issue isn't culture......
2hhoop3 • 12/05/25 10:42 PM ET
UVa to the B1G would be good for VT. Probably means the SEC would come
Maroon Baboon • 12/04/25 04:58 PM ET
I'm still having buyer's remorse re Cal & Sanford.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/05/25 10:53 PM ET
You and a lot of others too.**
RJHokie • 12/05/25 10:54 PM ET
Especially if the expansion gives the ACC 3-4 playoff spots as rumored
mrcaniac • 12/04/25 06:41 PM ET
Miami & UVa to B10 and UNC & VT to SEC would be a dream scenario
RandomAsianGuy • 12/04/25 05:02 PM ET
I'd take that, but w/ ESPN & Fox back to competing, UNC UVA B10 VT NCSU SEC
Stech • 12/04/25 06:02 PM ET
Can't imagine that NCSU will be invited to either......
CrystalCoveHokie • 12/04/25 08:17 PM ET
That's one way to look at it, but not the only way, NCSU owns UNC in ftbll,
Stech • 12/04/25 08:29 PM ET
There are just not many valuable schools out there for the P2.
RandomAsianGuy • 12/04/25 06:14 PM ET
And will either of the P2's cull interior dead weight.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/05/25 10:58 PM ET
Maye, but a lot has changed in the last 3 weeks. That said, you can win NC
Stech • 12/04/25 08:21 PM ET
I actually agree with you if
Big12 guy • 12/04/25 08:08 PM ET
If VT were invited to SEC, I wouldn't give a hoot what else happened.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/05/25 11:00 PM ET
But, where is the
Big12 guy • 12/06/25 09:21 AM ET
To me Louisville is the wild card in the ACC, I could see them in the B12,
Stech • 12/04/25 08:25 PM ET
Ya, I don't know. The PAC would
Big12 guy • 12/05/25 08:40 AM ET
If a handful of schools leave the 17 team ACC, it won’t be the new PAC, 🏀
Stech • 12/05/25 02:47 PM ET
Miami and UNC would be my guess.
