For expansion, the theme is UVA is more desired for the P2 over VT

As a recent precedent, just look at none other than Stanford.
LonghornHokie • 12/23/23 01:48 PM ET
Stanford was an ACC decision. Real conferences wouldn't have picked them.

If there isn't a place for Stanford in division 1 college sports, then get

No they didn't. They could have taken Stanford along with USC if they were

Duplicate post. Sorry. Please delete.

Or, they could have just taken USC and Stanford.

Same reason the ACC wanted Miami, BC & Syracuse. Miami was the prize then.

"Because they're stupid, that's why." -Phil Leotardo on why ACC wanted them**
Hokie 04 • 12/24/23 12:33 PM ET
If that's true about basketball, the SEC should also want Kansas.
Maroon Baboon • 12/23/23 03:48 PM ET
Maybe one day, but that’s not the priority right now IMHO.**

Kansas and West Virginia are possible SEC additions depending on just

News flash, not many KU fans want to go to the SEC. Maybe when OU and

KU would have to ask to be invited first, and currently, they have only

Well no school in the ACC has officially asked to join the SEC either.**

If there will be 6 team pods, who does PSU want?
Calamitous • 12/24/23 11:20 PM ET
I understand why the B10 would prefer UVA...academics, Olympic sports, AAU
HokieNoVA • 12/23/23 10:45 AM ET
UVa is a small school which artificially inflates its supposed academic rep**
marcbvtgm • 12/25/23 01:52 PM ET
They probably view UVa vs. VT as Ole Miss vs. MSU or TAMU vs. UT
Marooned • 12/23/23 03:31 PM ET
Some truth here
VTCALS72 • 12/23/23 10:58 AM ET
Welp. They'll find out if they invite UVa.
Maroon Baboon • 12/23/23 11:57 AM ET
I've thought for a long time that the B1G should go very B1G
ren_hoek • 12/23/23 10:31 AM ET
Even if UNC and UVa go to the SEC, what you describe should be the B1G's
Maroon Baboon • 12/23/23 12:08 PM ET
My take, UNC and UVA are desired by the BIG. This makes them desirable to

The BTN does and the Big Ten wants to make sure it has plenty of content
VTHokie2000 • 12/23/23 10:17 AM ET
I know a Top 10 wrestling team that would look just fine on the BTN.
