so the B1G would rather have GT, uva and Miami than Stanford or Cal?

this sounds like nonsense. Also, I still can't see FSU running into the arms of UCF. If those 6 schools were willing to leave the ACC for the BigXII, why not just leave and recruit 6+ schools of their choosing to join them in a new league? Clemson, FSU, L'ville, VT, Pitt, NCSU, then make calls. aim high, but there would be plenty of options to flesh out a strong media property. hell, some of the remaining ACC schools might choose to join them. perhaps disgruntled members of the P2 (aTm? PSU?), and certainly some large BigXII brands. It's all nonsense, so just adding my own seasoning to it.

FSU, Clemson, NCSU, & VT to B12 is the latest thing I see being tossed
501 • 07/17/24 09:40 PM ET
VT going to the B12 will happen if that is the Hokies "only and very last"
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/18/24 05:26 PM ET
I would rather be in the Sunbelt, than B12, way more local rivalries,
Stech • 07/18/24 06:30 PM ET
If you lived in Dallas (like I do) you would
HokieDelNorte • 07/19/24 05:03 PM ET
I'd bet that most Sun Belt schools would jump at a chance to join the B12.
HokieNoVA • 07/19/24 11:28 AM ET
Of course they would, everybody is letting the money run them, but college
Stech • 07/19/24 12:04 PM ET
I agree but the money won't be the same **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/19/24 09:14 AM ET
You are right that the money won't be the same. What will be interesting
VTHokie2000 • 07/19/24 10:58 AM ET
Stech, your post does make sense, the more I think about it !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/18/24 06:59 PM ET
I don't think anyone assumes otherwise. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 06:09 PM ET
MHver3 not a credible source.**
Maroon Baboon • 07/18/24 02:58 PM ET
The only credible source will be an official announcement. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 04:24 PM ET
Don’t think VT will leave for big 12 without UVA - we have a chip
Hokie12thman • 07/18/24 02:39 PM ET
exactly...
1947Sunbowl • 07/18/24 02:49 PM ET
The Big 12 tries to scare everyone to get what they want, here we go again.**
Stech • 07/18/24 01:15 PM ET
I don't think the Big 12........
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 01:27 PM ET
I wish he didn’t scare anyone, but most of the P12 didn’t want to go and
Stech • 07/18/24 06:58 PM ET
If there are ACC teams........
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 07:36 PM ET
I agree it’s a different situation, fear sometimes overrules brains.
Stech • 07/18/24 08:01 PM ET
We have discussed the B12 being complicate in some sort of

I appreciate the post. The Big east football schools needed a different

How this plays out......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 01:58 PM ET
You have your beliefs, and I have mine, amazed they don't always line up. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 02:01 PM ET
I think we both know......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 02:10 PM ET
There does seem to be more of them than ACC hacks - I'll give you that. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 02:20 PM ET
I don't think the Big 12 is much if at all the generator of a conspiracy
VTCALS72 • 07/18/24 01:54 PM ET
This is not the B12's fault. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 01:18 PM ET
Would prefer remain in ACC than B12. As most on here, want B10 or SEC ($$).**
hokie77 • 07/18/24 11:14 AM ET
The play is not the Big 12,......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 11:56 AM ET
If we get P2 payouts and CFP bids, why not?
obguthr • 07/18/24 08:04 AM ET
Everyone not in the P2 could say that. The problem is that it
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 08:36 AM ET
There is another angle to the PE firm aspect that we don't know
HokieAl • 07/18/24 10:02 AM ET
Ya, I don't know what to think of the PE with the information we
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 10:15 AM ET
and if it is a success than the SEC/B1G would follow and the Big12/ACC
133193Hokie • 07/18/24 10:19 AM ET
Maybe not. The P2's advantage is set in stone, and they are making bank
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 10:25 AM ET
Agreed
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/18/24 09:45 AM ET
If the ACC loses their top 2 schools, they also lose some guaranteed

The position I have espoused here many times is that the BIG12 and ACC

It also won't happen because of academics. Some schools just
HokieAl • 07/18/24 11:05 AM ET
Academics is a false flag......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 01:16 PM ET
Yeah Louisville jumped to mind even as I posted.
HokieAl • 07/18/24 02:18 PM ET
it's always about perception, and the money. You try to position
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 01:32 PM ET
It is somewhat humorous and sad that Calford pursuit of membership
WBGV • 07/18/24 01:16 PM ET
Its not that the fans of non-P2 conferences are saying that...
EDGEMAN • 07/18/24 09:42 AM ET
The odds of that happening are between slim and none...
EDGEMAN • 07/18/24 08:24 AM ET
LOL!**
EDGEMAN • 07/18/24 06:08 AM ET
No thank you **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/18/24 05:46 AM ET
That won't happen not anytime soon, no doubt about it. Better options will

Another tweet from Swaim suggesting B12 may not want FSU…..
CrystalCoveHokie • 07/18/24 09:10 AM ET
I still am amazed at how extensive the media has spread the "FSU is bad"

VTChip • 07/18/24 07:12 AM ET
TV folks want the SEC and B10 to stand down?

The only part I believe at all is that the small private ACC schools
