If this is even in the cards, it would be tough for the SEC and BIG

to compete in basketball. Apart from a few blue bloods, and a lot of money, I'm not convinced they will be able to stack all of the coaches like they do in football. I also think that the consolidation of all the football brands may garner a lot of interest at first, but as soon as some of these blue bloods go the way of Nebraska, there are going to be a LOT of fans getting weary of their once dominate scool leveling off at 8-4 7 7-5 records year after year. They have the money to pay their coaches, but imagine the pressure if you are a mid tier Big10 or SEC school paying millions to coaches that can't win. There will be a tremendous turnover of coaches moving forward, and there is no way a Mississippi State or a Purdue is going to compete for a title. No matter how much money they throw at their program.

WBGV • 08/01/23 05:28 PM ET
VT wouldn’t go to the SEC if UVA didn’t have a seat at the table.
hokieZ71 • 08/01/23 05:33 PM ET
P2, if the ACC folds VT & UVA would like to go to the same conference, but

If the ACC did disband....

Something to keep in mind is that the 2 important SEC rivalries are
VTHokie2000 • 08/01/23 08:53 PM ET
That would be incredible for football and basketball, Academically not to
Stech • 08/01/23 07:33 PM ET
No difference to me if VT and UVA go to different conferences...
jesuisvtguy • 08/01/23 07:25 PM ET
Agree.
Stech • 08/01/23 07:34 PM ET
I really hope the 4 VA/NC schools can stick together also.
hokieZ71 • 08/01/23 06:29 PM ET
That's my first choice and especially in the SEC. I think admissions
Stech • 08/01/23 07:37 PM ET
They backed us in 2004 - we will and should do the same today
Hokie12thman • 08/01/23 06:08 PM ET
I think the real backing came from Mark Warner.
WBGV • 08/01/23 06:27 PM ET
Here WGBV, a link for you for once

Mr. Goodwin sounds like a good person and big supporter of his alma mater.**
WBGV • 08/02/23 01:46 AM ET
Casteen did not......
2hhoop3 • 08/01/23 06:45 PM ET
Think there was a fairly wealthy and influential family more responsible
hokieZ71 • 08/01/23 06:33 PM ET
Goodwin? He was a Tech grad and UVA grad school if I recall.**
Old Line Hokie • 08/01/23 07:06 PM ET
Correct.**
HoakieCup • 08/01/23 09:30 PM ET
Really?
WBGV • 08/01/23 06:03 PM ET
If a choice comes - choice A -one goes Big 12 and one goes to B10
Hokie12thman • 08/01/23 06:34 PM ET
In order of likelihood...
jesuisvtguy • 08/01/23 05:23 PM ET
I’m beginning to think a Big XII/ACC merger may be a possibility.
hokieZ71 • 08/01/23 05:23 PM ET
I tend to agree. This would be a superconference. Several crossover games
