I thought the same thing, but have heard Andy Staples, Bruce Feldman, and..

others all mention that they have been surprised to hear from a lot of people they know that the SEC might be looking more to add "flagship" schools as opposed to cultural fits. Staples said this specifically surprised him in the VT vs UVA discussion. Obviously take it with a grain of salt, no one knows what the hell is going to happen for sure. But those guys are plugged in enough to at least get me worried about that.

In some ways the Hoos are a better cultural fit with the SEC

The number isn't 6 or 8 teams that would have to leave. It's 12.**

Do you think someone like Wake or BC would ever voluntarily drop football?
HokieAl • 07/08/22 03:55 PM ET
Even if they dropped football, they would still want equal revenue, so no.**
tarheelblue • 07/08/22 04:01 PM ET
We aren't leaving, read my post below.**
