sorry if repost, Pollack weighs in and I agree
cvillehokie92 • 07/21/24 11:58 AM ET
Still holding out hope that the decision makers in the SEC are savvy enough
HokieNoVA • 07/22/24 12:24 PM ET
I somewhat see FSU-Clemson-VT-NCSt as a bloc.
Maroon Baboon • 07/21/24 11:16 PM ET
I see that as a bloc also
Millpoint • 07/22/24 11:52 AM ET
that is the ticket for the SEC to own everything below the Mason Dixon Line
VTCALS72 • 07/22/24 07:35 AM ET
The Mason Dixon line is of zero significance here**
Pylons • 07/22/24 10:57 AM ET
Yep. Maryland is south of the MD line, and they're in the B1X**
EDGEMAN • 07/22/24 02:21 PM ET
I understand where the line is
Pylons • 07/22/24 02:41 PM ET
That was my comment and I was just trying to identify something
VTCALS72 • 07/22/24 04:14 PM ET
You don't think a line drawn 150+ years ago is important for conferences...
EDGEMAN • 07/22/24 03:47 PM ET
Easier than saying the MD/PA line.
VTCALS72 • 07/22/24 04:18 PM ET
The SEC already has Florida and South Carolina**
Maroon Unit • 07/22/24 06:54 AM ET
I believe that to be an incorrect take
VTCALS72 • 07/22/24 07:56 AM ET
I wonder if the author of this article knows that the average IQ of most
ancient alien 2018 • 07/21/24 08:43 PM ET
Probably a fair amount lower than 75……**
RJHokie • 07/21/24 09:05 PM ET
It seems like Pollack has always liked Virginia Tech but ...
Old Line Hokie • 07/21/24 06:09 PM ET
Tech/State to the SEC and UVa/UNC to Big 10 makes the most sense
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/21/24 09:14 PM ET
It would not make the best sense for UNC and UVA
VTCALS72 • 07/23/24 06:31 PM ET
Agree.
RJHokie • 07/21/24 09:45 PM ET
I have no desire to finish 10th in the SEC every year**
SpeakToDamien • 07/21/24 12:52 PM ET
Even if you do, other sports will have more money which leads to better
IB4TECH • 07/22/24 02:07 PM ET
Missouri has fared well enough
I85Hokie • 07/22/24 09:25 AM ET
Missouri had Pinkel as the coach when they went to the SEC. They had
Big12 guy • 07/22/24 10:36 AM ET
Looser mentality. That same logic would have kept us out of the ACC as we
133193Hokie • 07/22/24 09:13 AM ET
Do you have a desire to win a national championship some day?
Maroon Baboon • 07/21/24 11:21 PM ET
Gotta be in it to win it.** ◄
hokieball • 07/21/24 08:48 PM ET
Kentucky has been in it for a long time., never made the SEC championship **
wwhokie1 • 07/21/24 09:59 PM ET
Heard the same thing when VT joined the ACC. **
seekoHoG • 07/21/24 08:47 PM ET
Thought the Big Least had as good, if not better football than the ACC...
EDGEMAN • 07/22/24 05:01 AM ET
It was a stark difference. **
IB4TECH • 07/22/24 02:10 PM ET
Once upon a time, there was a Hokie-hating media member who postulated

DrHokie • 07/21/24 08:04 PM ET
Bill Brill said that for Basketball only
VPI 1924 • 07/21/24 04:51 PM ET
After extensive internet searches I cannot find anywhere he intended
seekoHoG • 07/22/24 10:51 AM ET
Brill was a Duke graduate I think
VPI 1924 • 07/23/24 07:20 PM ET
I think he said that VT would never win anything in the ACC and VT
Blueboy • 07/21/24 10:56 PM ET
and He is Dead. period

If he was in a SEC town, the locals would have literally...
EDGEMAN • 07/21/24 07:46 PM ET
also at that time Roanoke times did not embrace the value of VT
1947Sunbowl • 07/22/24 09:53 AM ET
Well, he’s apparently living rent free in the minds of a lot of VT
RJHokie • 07/21/24 07:56 PM ET
Can't debate that. **
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/21/24 10:14 PM ET
Rather finish 10th in the ACC or Big XII?**
hokieZ71 • 07/21/24 01:49 PM ET
If we are a 10th place ACC team we would be a last place SEC team**
wwhokie1 • 07/21/24 10:00 PM ET
If we can’t out-compete Vandy, Miss, Miss St, Mizzou, Kentucky, Arkansas..
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/22/24 02:58 AM ET
If we can't finish better than 10th in the ACC as referenced in the post I
wwhokie1 • 07/22/24 11:07 PM ET
We finished tied for 4th in the ACC this year in a rebound year**
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/23/24 12:18 AM ET
Don't have to convince me, I'm not the one suggesting we finish 10th in ACC**
wwhokie1 • 07/23/24 09:35 AM ET
If VT recruits and coaches better, they can compete in the ACC every 6-7
SpeakToDamien • 07/21/24 02:23 PM ET
Why? Our $’s would increase much.**
HOKIEGOBBLE • 07/21/24 09:37 PM ET
Our revenue would still be at the bottom of the SEC.**
wwhokie1 • 07/21/24 10:02 PM ET
Your lack of faith is disturbing. We certainly have the ability to compete
Poultrygeist • 07/21/24 03:07 PM ET
I would think with the handles that you guys have that you would
IB4TECH • 07/22/24 02:13 PM ET
Hope I'm wrong ...
SpeakToDamien • 07/21/24 08:39 PM ET
I don’t know, I don’t totally agree.
