He cleaned house and after the Pinstripe Bowl it was needed. To me it was

an investment to get a better work ethic and better athletes in the program. I think he is doing that faster than I thought he would, I expected he would not land instate top 10 for at least 2 more years. Now he's got to get that offense going this year, he knows how to coach defense, even with sub par tallent. Now start averaging 30+ points a game. That's how you win in today's game.

Allow me to give you the key to realignment and Tech's role...

We won't wait until 2034 to do something.

I think you have understated the urgency. I offer the true alarmist POV.

Busting the ACC apart to join the B12 is a non-starter!
EDGEMAN • 07/19/23 07:42 AM ET
I agree with this. The ACC will not ever fall apart because schools

But the B12 contract is NOT better than the ACC contract

It also seems conspicuous that GT and Duke do NOT get mentioned in this

Exactly about Mag7

Isn’t 2026 the next possible look-in window on the ACC contract?**
133966Hokie • 07/18/23 03:26 PM ET
Yes 2026....
2hhoop3 • 07/18/23 03:48 PM ET
Thanks. It’s a real data point and based on what happens
133966Hokie • 07/18/23 04:40 PM ET
All valid points......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/23 11:09 PM ET
The way everyone should look at this is you save from not renting DVRs...

Good points. I don’t believe Cable is dead for some of those reasons. It’s

Almost certainly 100 percent the latter

Yep**

Funny If VT just wins in the ACC everything else takes care of itself**
Mercury • 07/17/23 06:04 PM ET
VT winning more is absolutely a large component

I think the magic date for anything happening will be 2030
HokieAl • 07/17/23 01:30 PM ET
We are already attractive to SEC and hopefully Big 10 also
Hokie83 • 07/17/23 12:34 PM ET
Exactly, the SEC wants schools that fill their stadium when down, Alabama
Stech • 07/17/23 01:00 PM ET
only a few..
MrFantastic! • 07/17/23 02:16 PM ET
Disagree on one point here - FSU absolutely has a great fan base.
133966Hokie • 07/18/23 04:48 PM ET
If FSU starts playing an SEC schedule, they will fill the place. Miami
Stech • 07/17/23 03:33 PM ET
I love this idea for multiple reasons
CobbCountyHokie • 07/18/23 10:32 AM ET
I think you make valid points......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/23 10:54 AM ET
Why do we want to merge with the PAC 10?
SemperFiHokie • 07/17/23 04:37 PM ET
My goal is more $ 4 Virginia Tech athletics, be that the SEC, B1G or merge.
Stech • 07/18/23 08:17 AM ET
It would be checkmate on the B12. There will be only so many P5 schools
Big12 guy • 07/17/23 05:00 PM ET
I explained to him, it’s more about Virginia Tech getting more athletic $.
Stech • 07/18/23 08:23 AM ET
USC-E has always done a good job filling their stadium, even when they suck**
EDGEMAN • 07/17/23 01:01 PM ET
They have, & they’ve hired National Championship coaches in Holtz/Spurrier.
Stech • 07/17/23 01:29 PM ET
Then the unproven Beamer hire....

Which is a big part of why 2022 was largely a wasted year by Pry IMO

Stech • 07/17/23 03:26 PM ET
thank you for mentioning the work ethic
Mercury • 07/18/23 01:04 PM ET
No doubt the pressure is on Pry. But also the whole program: fans, donors
Maroon Baboon • 07/17/23 10:20 AM ET
and frankly VT priorities
Mercury • 07/17/23 10:15 AM ET
The B12 poaching teams from the ACC was just click bait. The ACC
