That would be very bad for the P12

The P12 is limited on the peer schools they can invite...just not a lot in the western region. Guess they'll have to raid the B12 to replace USC, and anyone they invite will have a serious travel budget increase. Guess it's just another domino to fall on the way to a two mega-conference league...

SEC expansion backfiring?
Sunsetunderground • 06/06/22 07:47 PM ET
Playoff expansion to 12 is only a matter of a short time.**
wwhokie1 • 06/18/22 05:48 PM ET
WRT the "teach them for being so greedy" statement, did the ACC learn that
VTHokie2000 • 06/07/22 01:44 PM ET
The Greed in Austin far surpasses
Sunsetunderground • 06/07/22 04:24 PM ET
Maybe so, but your OP was focused on the SEC's decisions and greed.
VTHokie2000 • 06/07/22 04:31 PM ET
Frankly the ACC's greed wasn't for purely financial reasons
EDGEMAN • 06/07/22 05:59 PM ET
Or the ACC's greed was still purely financial and it just shows the ACC was
VTHokie2000 • 06/07/22 06:10 PM ET
Not making VT their #1 or #2 target shows how short sighted they were.
EDGEMAN • 06/08/22 08:13 AM ET
What (if anything) does that say about VT since it had been trying for 50
VTHokie2000 • 06/08/22 09:25 AM ET
With our addition, the ACC was awesome
Truthahn • 06/09/22 11:39 AM ET
I'm not sure the ACC had a 50 year history of short sighted behavior
jmanatVT • 06/09/22 10:24 AM ET
WRT the ACC adding Georgia Tech, technically Georgia Tech joined in 1979
VTHokie2000 • 06/09/22 01:44 PM ET
The ACC's decision.....
2hhoop3 • 06/07/22 09:20 PM ET
Survival or a prolonged death?
VTHokie2000 • 06/07/22 10:02 PM ET
Survival.....
2hhoop3 • 06/08/22 11:42 AM ET
It also increases the risk that the ACC will be left holding an empty bag
VTHokie2000 • 06/08/22 12:04 PM ET
VT was blinded by it's 50 yr fixation on the ACC.
Atlee Hokie • 06/14/22 10:17 AM ET
If you are....
2hhoop3 • 06/09/22 11:04 AM ET
WRT "VT's focus on athletics and conference wanderings," we will never
VTHokie2000 • 06/09/22 04:09 PM ET
Lane was built with the east and west stands at the same height
Tailgate Guru • 06/13/22 11:13 AM ET
Like I said.....
2hhoop3 • 06/09/22 09:55 PM ET
I would think the reasons I picked TAMU would be obvious to you.
VTHokie2000 • 06/10/22 08:25 AM ET
All valid points.....
2hhoop3 • 06/10/22 09:03 AM ET
Given that both schools have similar, or the same, origin story
VTHokie2000 • 06/11/22 10:34 AM ET
You need......
2hhoop3 • 06/11/22 11:59 AM ET
Now we're getting rumblings of USC to the B1G
HOO86 • 06/07/22 11:00 AM ET
i think that is a pretty idle threat
Vippie1 • 06/07/22 05:34 PM ET
It is just a hold on situation**
MrFantastic! • 06/07/22 02:56 PM ET
The Rose Bowl used to be appointment viewing before the BCS and CFP.
Maroon Baboon • 06/07/22 12:34 PM ET
I hope the Alliance insists that the Rose be in the first playoff round
Truthahn • 06/07/22 01:02 PM ET
if expansion happens no matter what, make the Rose Bowl the permanent site
reestuart • 06/07/22 01:07 PM ET
There is no reason for Rose to be permanent Championship site.**
Atlee Hokie • 06/14/22 10:28 AM ET
I have my doubts about that
Sunsetunderground • 06/07/22 12:32 PM ET
That would be very bad for the P12 ◄
EDGEMAN • 06/07/22 12:22 PM ET
"Teach them for being so greedy". Remember when we hoped that the ACC
133193Hokie • 06/07/22 08:23 AM ET
I knew that was a "pipe dream" from the start
EDGEMAN • 06/07/22 09:18 AM ET
Maybe if TX could have kept the Longhorn network while in the ACC
Truthahn • 06/07/22 10:18 AM ET
I agree with you re TX but aTm is just as bad, if not worse than TX
133193Hokie • 06/07/22 10:00 AM ET
yeah, I certainly don't favor aTm over Texas these days. I enjoy watching
reestuart • 06/07/22 01:34 PM ET
Even with all that money I think the SEC is going to regret it
Sunsetunderground • 06/07/22 09:15 AM ET
And how many schools in SEc are paying mega $$$ to coaches.
Atlee Hokie • 06/14/22 10:34 AM ET
Texas is the hot girl........
2hhoop3 • 06/07/22 09:29 PM ET
Guess what else is going to be causing issues? Scheduling.
Maroon Baboon • 06/07/22 10:25 AM ET
TX was THE giant of the Big12 - now they are amongst peers for the most
133193Hokie • 06/07/22 09:57 AM ET
The only way to ensure there is turmoil is to keep the playoff...
EDGEMAN • 06/07/22 08:19 AM ET
I'd rather have mix of top 4 teams, plus top champions
Truthahn • 06/07/22 11:45 AM ET
I don't trust voters when ranking teams
EDGEMAN • 06/08/22 12:42 PM ET
Then make it "top 4, then conf champs, max of two per conf, max one indy"
Truthahn • 06/09/22 10:07 AM ET
I think the SEC now realizes the playoff structure
Sunsetunderground • 06/07/22 09:04 AM ET
Remember its culture amd tx starts it
Mercury • 06/07/22 07:41 AM ET
Reality says............
MrFantastic! • 06/07/22 05:19 AM ET
Exactly
Truthahn • 06/07/22 12:09 PM ET
I thought that when the CFP-12 scheme fell through, that UT and OU might
Maroon Baboon • 06/07/22 03:50 PM ET
1932 southern conference
Mercury • 06/07/22 10:05 AM ET
They never should have invited Sewanee.**
Truthahn • 06/09/22 11:30 AM ET
Will they have more firings than they have now?
EDGEMAN • 06/07/22 06:07 AM ET
I've always loved the SEC culture. But their actions, along with ESPN
Maroon Baboon • 06/06/22 10:17 PM ET
I've always loved their culture on the surface, but they are rotten...
EDGEMAN • 06/07/22 08:21 AM ET
i'd have little interest in VT going to the SEC. ACC is easily the best
reestuart • 06/07/22 01:09 PM ET
Don't you have to have a certain academic research membership...
EDGEMAN • 06/08/22 04:49 PM ET
Used to. AAU membership was required.
Atlee Hokie • 06/14/22 10:46 AM ET
It is a big blow but.........
MrFantastic! • 06/07/22 05:21 AM ET
What happens 5 years from now makes zero difference to me.
Atlee Hokie • 06/14/22 10:50 AM ET
ESPN is already paying them a ton of cash...
