UVa to B1G is the best angle for us to get into the P2 (in this case, SEC).

I think the SEC would actually prefer us to UVa. But if UVa is a tag-a-long with UNC to the SEC. Then our chances are slim, put not impossible, to get into the B1G.

Am I the only one that thinks the BIG and the SEC have had a "Yalta"

I would not be surprised if you are right, Sankey & Pettiti I thought said

If this is true , it would make sense that UVA and UNC

Careful what you ask for. Do you think things would be all that
Big12 guy • 03/31/25 02:42 PM ET
Recruiting and portal would be a whole notha level if NIL could keep up.**

I'll take my chances.**

we kinda have nothing to lose right now....
MrBayAreaHokie • 04/01/25 11:53 AM ET
SEC is a possibility. BigXII more likely. Staying in a watered down ACC is

I hope my school doesn't take the invite. While I understand that some

It's also about geography and established conference affiliation.
Maroon Baboon • 03/31/25 03:40 PM ET
I think VT's geography hurts them. If the East Coast was

I have to disagree with your premise that "regional conference is over

As a fan not on the East Coast, this neck of the woods never enjoyed
Big12 guy • 04/02/25 08:34 AM ET
The answer to that question is it depends (on probably 2 factors).
VTHokie2000 • 04/02/25 09:16 AM ET
If you look at the miles and travel time of all of those "regional"
Big12 guy • 04/02/25 09:30 AM ET
I am not sure that is necessarily true. Particularly if you factor in the
VTHokie2000 • 04/02/25 10:36 AM ET
I agree with the rivalry aspect 100%. Except for ND/USC, I think most
Big12 guy • 04/02/25 10:44 AM ET
Yes, historically that is how the majority of the rivalries formed.
VTHokie2000 • 04/02/25 11:18 AM ET
IMO, the VT fanbase seems to fit the Big Ten better than SEC. Not that
reestuart • 03/31/25 06:12 PM ET
The Big East was a good conference, but frankly, VT would fit in any of
Big12 guy • 03/31/25 06:43 PM ET
Yeah, and as far as fanbase fit goes, I'd say that is at about the bottom

The Miami and WVU games you mention are conference games which do help with

I believe VT was "penalized" for the 2 point loss in 2001 because VT did
VTHokie2000 • 04/04/25 09:49 AM ET
Think they’re headed 2 heavy unequal sharing by individual school like ACC
Stech • 03/29/25 06:56 PM ET
Listening to the podcast today, I’ll go you one step further
Marooned • 03/31/25 05:10 PM ET
What podcast said that? TIA**

Yes I figured it out, and listened to it, it was great, thanks for letting
Stech • 04/01/25 08:15 PM ET
Yep, ACC is currently serving as the guinea pig.
VTCALS72 • 03/30/25 08:49 AM ET
Yep, they are also watching Oregon State challenging penalties for leaving
Stech • 03/30/25 08:57 AM ET
Nobody "waits to see what the ACC does first"....except maybe the CAA**
VTNuke • 03/29/25 09:45 PM ET
That is probably correct
VTCALS72 • 03/30/25 08:51 AM ET
Never underestimate the Blue Blood schools desire for more 💵 and power.**
Stech • 03/30/25 09:26 PM ET
Been reported by ESPN insiders the P2 are watching ACC unequal sharing and
Stech • 03/30/25 08:24 AM ET
The ACC has done it before, but I think the equal sharing worked the best
HOO86 • 03/31/25 12:01 AM ET
You sure about that split.........

2hhoop3 • 03/31/25 10:20 PM ET
It’s about math/higher number, but it’s also about guaranteed vs variable💵

The old adage......
2hhoop3 • 04/01/25 09:08 AM ET
Yep, I keep thinking about Mark Felt (Deep Throat) and “follow the money”.

Wow UNC & Duke really got 50% of the ACC revenue & the other 50% was split?
Stech • 03/31/25 01:25 AM ET
Football revenue was done by the NCAA
mrcaniac • 03/31/25 01:52 PM ET
It was primarily basketball because football was separate
HOO86 • 03/31/25 11:03 AM ET
Another tidbit.

Stech • 03/31/25 08:26 PM ET
Yes. And other programs were no joke either: Maryland and GT for instance.
Maroon Baboon • 03/31/25 01:44 AM ET
Duke played in the National Championship Game in the 60s, 70s, and 80s
HOO86 • 03/31/25 11:16 AM ET
They were very good back then, but so was State & UMd, I would not describe

True. Coach K started winning championships for Duke
