Why don't you think B1G or SEC are interested in UVA?

I think UNC is #1 and UVA is #2. They don't need to make noise like FSU and Clemson. If you are an attractive option, they come to you...or so I've heard.

UVA’s a good fit for the B1G, they’re being talked about in the SEC because

UVA’s athletic budget is comparable to the athletic budget of B1G and SEC

One big box they don't check, football.

UVA isn't "the Flagship University" of Virginia. They are possibly one...

Greg Sankey is proposing limiting Flagship status to the P2.**

Flagship refers to the main campus of a college system

What colleges/universities are apart of the VT System? As far as I know,
VTHokie2000 • 03/28/24 12:19 PM ET
Does the Nova innovation campus count?
Truthahn • 03/28/24 12:48 PM ET
No, it doesn't because it is considered an extended campus. FWIW the state

UVA also "founded" GMU and UMW

You are right about the history of GMU and UMW. I didn't know that about
VTHokie2000 • 03/28/24 01:51 PM ET
so everyone else gets 1, but Texas gets 3?

TV ratings decisively favor VT**
hokieZ71 • 03/28/24 07:56 AM ET
If I had to venture a guess, VT fans outnumber Hoo fans in the Commonwealth
EDGEMAN • 03/28/24 09:23 AM ET
Uva TV ratings? Really?
Maroon Unit • 03/28/24 07:33 AM ET
UNC will desire them also**

Good Question. VT is going all in on football in order to make its case to

Possible UVa selling points
Marooned • 03/27/24 06:13 PM ET
It was all about football and national brands
VTCALS72 • 03/27/24 06:39 PM ET
Closer maybe, but are they really fans?
cvillehokie92 • 03/27/24 06:35 PM ET
And Charlotte is closer than all of them, with TONS of VT alums.**

AAU status is big with the B1G (not the only factor of course)**

I doubt VT will ever become AAU and I'm fine with that. However, Sands
TDVick • 03/27/24 08:06 PM ET
VT probably has the most research $$$$$ of any non-AAU school
EDGEMAN • 03/28/24 09:31 AM ET
First the 'athletic base' is different than the AAU world
DMV Gobbler • 03/28/24 08:41 AM ET
Great post. AAU keeps moving the goal posts. I wouldn't bother with trying

We are close to meeting the requirements for AAU, but remember
