Vandy and Northwestern are not going anywhere

The SEC and Big10 will not kick those schools out because they need them more than some other schools. NW and Vandy are able to do things for the other schools in the conference that the other schools don't want to be part of a Freedom of Information Act. In the ACC, that distinction falls to WFU that is able to vet the candidates for membership and take part in negotiations that the conference and schools don't want to be public knowledge.

Using Tony Altimore’s charts - worst track record on realignment out there
WBGV • 03/22/24 01:11 PM ET
im not reporting, but rather check sources of data

The guy is terrible. Plus, his twitter pic is 20 years ago. **
HouClone • 03/22/24 02:25 PM ET
interesting watch. A good VT 2024 football season 8 + wins
section11hokie • 03/22/24 11:43 AM ET
Maybe ask Vandy to join the ACC after they get booted from the SEC?**
EDGEMAN • 03/22/24 10:13 AM ET
Vandy and Northwestern are not going anywhere ◄
mrcaniac • 03/22/24 04:14 PM ET
And Northwestern.
Millpoint • 03/22/24 11:12 AM ET
At that point I wonder if B12 would want Cal, Stan, WSU, and Or St
HokieAl • 03/22/24 11:53 AM ET
Maybe never. Big 12 games are like mini-SEC
HouClone • 03/22/24 07:54 PM ET
Big 12 passed on them last year
Millpoint • 03/22/24 03:51 PM ET
I think they passed on the B12 - but your right, it doesn't fit. **
Big12 guy • 03/22/24 04:28 PM ET
Cal and Stanford wouldn’t lower themselves
Millpoint • 03/22/24 05:49 PM ET
If the SEC and Big 10 are serious about "big time" football...
Old Line Hokie • 03/22/24 11:47 AM ET
Add Rice for a travel partner for SMU, and put Pitt in the B12 for WVU. **
Big12 guy • 03/22/24 11:24 AM ET
How do you see this end game
Millpoint • 03/22/24 03:59 PM ET
Not a clue. i know what I would like to see, but there are
Big12 guy • 03/22/24 04:26 PM ET
Hoping for Pitt, UL, VT and NC State
Millpoint • 03/22/24 05:55 PM ET
I'm out if VT goes to the B12. Would rather a watered down ACC.**
LonghornHokie • 03/22/24 10:18 PM ET
But the Big 12 is sooooo beneath Pitt
Millpoint • 03/22/24 11:40 AM ET
Vandy is getting more than Michigan from the CFP
Truthahn • 03/22/24 10:50 AM ET
Which is yet another reason the P2 will think twice about
Big12 guy • 03/22/24 11:11 AM ET
Probably B10 getting FSU and Clemson, or ...
Truthahn • 03/22/24 12:50 PM ET
Bragging rights will come later, right now, it's the money. **
Big12 guy • 03/22/24 12:53 PM ET
I don't know if it was mentioned, 60 yrs. ago GT left the SEC on their own.

Scrapping the athletics programs is one way to not pay athletes. ;)**
Old Line Hokie • 03/22/24 10:42 AM ET
Thank you.

LOL the answer standard from politicians & sketchy accounting practices**
anotherdamnyankeehokie • 03/22/24 11:29 AM ET
I’m surprised to see the Big 12 included in the Power 3
Millpoint • 03/22/24 07:34 AM ET
If the GOR holds, we need to go after Utah.
Truthahn • 03/22/24 11:07 AM ET
The ACC has already had every opportunity to add any team that is
Big12 guy • 03/22/24 11:19 AM ET
Yeah the Altimore data is biased in what he shows and how he shows it
HokieAl • 03/22/24 09:22 AM ET
Great look forward to it**
DMV Gobbler • 03/22/24 09:30 AM ET
Propaganda. **
VT Pez4Life • 03/22/24 09:20 AM ET
Overall was VT in good light?**
MrFantastic! • 03/22/24 06:25 AM ET
Basically he said that Clemson and F$U are the first taken, followed by...
EDGEMAN • 03/22/24 10:10 AM ET
His metrics show VT third behind FSU and Clemson in the most pertinent
Maroon Unit • 03/23/24 07:04 AM ET
UNC in first category
Millpoint • 03/22/24 03:57 PM ET
Unc is first .
MrFantastic! • 03/22/24 11:21 AM ET

DMV Gobbler • 03/22/24 07:50 AM ET
Was a little puzzled by two charts.
EDGEMAN • 03/22/24 10:04 AM ET
Wow, we really added 3 gems to the conf 😂😂😂**
MrBayAreaHokie • 03/22/24 12:57 AM ET
I agree. I watched it during my lunch. Has Tech in the 2nd group...
