Personally, I would like to see those games play out on the field. VT

hasn't exactly scheduled a lot of B12 teams, and we play pretty good ball in this neck of the woods. Would love to see a game in Lane - the only time my team ever played you was in the Orange Bowl.

Will "acceptance" be a factor in P2 expansion?
gman86 • 03/28/24 11:55 AM ET
I think there are two likely steps. First, the P2 forms it's own league for

Don't expect any "bottom feeders" to be dropped any time soon.

As long as they get the lions share of the money, they will never break

Ya, but the tournament is a different monster in that it

Stech • 03/29/24 02:40 PM ET
The tournament should go out to bid. Fox and ESPN - heck,
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 02:51 PM ET
If the P2 decide they want to go by themselves, how can others stop it?
Stech • 03/29/24 03:09 PM ET
What, is the BIG going to grow to 30 teams with all of them
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 03:25 PM ET
The NFL controls the market w/ 32 teams, they don’t need 60, 48 is my guess
Stech • 03/29/24 03:55 PM ET
Just football, you are right, but we still have college athletic programs. **

They probably aren’t done with expanding and they aren’t done trying to get
Stech • 03/29/24 05:12 PM ET
Yeah, they have a system that is working quite well for them
Pylons • 03/29/24 09:52 AM ET
I would say getting all the money is a good motive to form a new league.**

If Virginia Tech was part of the P2, how many millions would you be willing
wwhokie1 • 03/28/24 03:50 PM ET
i am at peace with whatever happens
MrBayAreaHokie • 03/28/24 03:46 PM ET
We would rarely win 8 games in theSEC**
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/28/24 08:13 PM ET
I am okay with that because VT would still get to cash the SEC checks.**
VTHokie2000 • 03/28/24 08:38 PM ET
As a fan, do you cheer for checks or wins?**
SpeakToDamien • 03/28/24 08:51 PM ET
Checks because wins won't pay for new facilities, additional resources,
VTHokie2000 • 03/28/24 08:56 PM ET
So we'll have the checks to pay for the new facilities etc, all that we

wwhokie1 • 03/28/24 11:35 PM ET
VT remaining in a non-P2 conference definitely won't get it there.
VTHokie2000 • 03/29/24 07:52 AM ET
I am not in any way suggesting Virginia Tech shouldn't join a P2 conference
wwhokie1 • 03/29/24 12:04 PM ET
I don't believe I am one of those Hokie fans with unrealistic expectations.

Orioles won the Al east

Maybe the P2 is the place then. **

When VT went on their run, they were not the richest program out there. The

Thanks for bringing up those neutral site losses

I've always assumed state politics are important to a "breakaway" P2.
Truthahn • 03/28/24 12:42 PM ET
If the P2 decide to treat all their athletes as employees, then that could
