A little confused…

I’m not a Tech fan, not a hater, but not a fan. I am, however, a fan of the ACC and enjoy reading the comments and following the discussions on these threads. The one thing I don’t understand in a lot of these is discussions is the heightened sense of value that a lot of fans have for Tech. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fine school academically but the chances of you ending up in a P2 conference aren’t as great as a lot of people think on this board. The in-demand schools, rightly or wrongly (and for some of them wrongly) are FSU, Clemson, Miami, UNC, UVA and GT (Atlanta). Other than those six, it’s really a crap shoot. Obviously wouldn’t fall any farther than the B12, but I think that’s the most realistic landing spot. Do you really bring anything more than say Pitt/Syracuse/NC State/Louisville does? Pitt/Syracuse at least have historical rivalries in the B10… which admittedly doesn’t mean much anymore. Tech’s glory days are now pretty far in the rear view mirror. And again, not saying that to be a d***. Personally, would love to see an eastern flank in the B12 of Tech, WVU, Pitt, Louisville and Cincy.

UVa vs. VT as an expansion candidate. Greg Flugaur weighs in.
Maroon Baboon 12/29/23 12:20 PM ET
That's the paradox of the strategy. In a way it makes BOTH schools weaker,

Something something flagship brand.
IV_Hokie12 12/30/23 12:53 PM ET
Look at it as 1) the VA market and 2)UVA vs VT. The VA market is pretty big
TDVick 12/30/23 05:42 AM ET
VT did get to play USC at FedEx. Whereas UVA and BC were both able to do

I think the UNC fan base really prefers the SEC over the B10, and this is
TDVick 12/30/23 05:56 AM ET
Yeah, You are confused
WarHog38 12/29/23 09:45 PM ET
Uva's glory days aren't even in the rear view mirror. And they never put

Because we own a market area that is the last untapped
VTCALS72 12/29/23 09:29 PM ET
How do you know UVA, UNC, GT, etc are in demand? Based on what?
Carolina Hokie 05 12/29/23 07:28 PM ET
Previous statements and common sense…

Oh, common sense eh?
Carolina Hokie 05 12/30/23 07:04 AM ET
Well you are clearly an ACC fan with that kind of thinking.
IV_Hokie12 12/30/23 12:06 AM ET
We have far more hold on the DC/NOVA market than UVA does or that
VTCALS72 12/29/23 09:38 PM ET
Close

Its kind of accurate. Its really a contest of who made it on ABC the most.
IV_Hokie12 12/30/23 12:08 AM ET
So why would UVA and UNC want to go to the Big when they

Here is where I differ. VT is a bit of an underutilized resource. Joining

“Bigger”? Doesn’t VT have more overall students and living alumni?
