I like that schools aren't a slave to TV money, "control your own destiny"
in the sports that you want to support. Like you said, Stanford has done this, we just saw SMU make the playoff with no ACC TV money. Maybe this is the paradigm shift that we need to do that to stop being a slave to football and probably eventually basketball TV money. I also like that UVA is doing this because as I am sure you know, the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech talk and partner on a lot of things thanks to people like Bill and Alice Goodwin, John Casteen and Charlie Steger setting the precedent.
PS John Warner getting the House and Senate representatives to meet for lunch once a month for BRAC, has also created communication about Virginia state schools, but particularly UVA and Tech.
