Media is wrong a lot, you have more faith in them than I do, also I stated

that some won’t believe we have a chance to get into the P2. You IMHO underrate Virginia Tech both the football success of the last 35 years and academically (ranked about the same as Penn State and William and Mary now), but we will see how this goes the next 3-4 years. We are both taking educated guesses. I would love to know details why you rate Virginia Tech so low, beyond media people that haven’t written about this lately, unless you count Flugar who won’t reveal his sources. ** Edited by Stech at 3/23/2026, 2:03:09 PM

UVA to B10 is a ten times better fit than SEC,Va Tech is closer to AAU
Stech • 03/22/26 07:16 PM ET
Not far-fetched, Stech. VT is definitely "qualified" for either P2.
33laszlo99 • 03/24/26 07:03 PM ET
UVA is better than us in academics and almost all sports. B10 has shown no
Maroon Effect • 03/24/26 01:01 PM ET
VT has made up grounds in Sports
MrFantastic! • 03/26/26 12:19 PM ET
Thats not an absolute
1947Sunbowl • 03/26/26 08:39 AM ET
Better in academics? Time to unmask and wear your UVA colors in the open.
EDGEMAN • 03/25/26 05:34 AM ET
Nah. I’m a proud VT grad, but most who’ve lived outside VA/DMV would agree.
Maroon Effect • 03/25/26 07:00 PM ET
Sorry, but that's insulting to every Hokie grad that's ever lived.
EDGEMAN • 03/26/26 04:56 AM ET
Not meant that way. I went to a lot of schools that had a better counter-
Maroon Effect • 03/26/26 10:11 AM ET
Meh…

UVA had a good football year, but this is about 🏈 $, and the last 30 years
Stech • 03/24/26 01:06 PM ET
Let’s be honest. I haven’t seen any report or even speculation from
RandomAsianGuy • 03/23/26 12:59 PM ET
A lot of the reporting is based on people's guesses, which is based on who

I do believe VT has an outside chance for the SEC membership.
RandomAsianGuy • 03/23/26 06:32 PM ET
Nothing about our recent Academic rankings, your information is years old,
Stech • 03/23/26 07:15 PM ET
You are entitled to your view. And VT’s academics is good.
RandomAsianGuy • 03/23/26 10:29 PM ET
VA's population is still growing slightly faster than the national average-
Culpeper Hokie • 03/24/26 11:10 AM ET
We are competing against states like NC, FL, GA, AZ not the national avg.
RandomAsianGuy • 03/24/26 12:06 PM ET
The type of population matters as well. it's not
Big12 guy • 03/24/26 11:20 AM ET
You are entitled to your opinion too, but for both it’s just opinion not
Stech • 03/24/26 06:53 AM ET
Fair enough. **
RandomAsianGuy • 03/24/26 12:09 PM ET
It all depends on how big the media companies want
Big12 guy • 03/23/26 02:48 PM ET
Do you have details on how it doesn’t pencil out? If so, please share them.**
Stech • 03/23/26 03:29 PM ET
Sure, as
Big12 guy • 03/23/26 03:50 PM ET
Something else to consider. Coming soon: unequal revenue sharing.

I'm watching that with great interest, as I'm sure other
Big12 guy • 03/23/26 06:30 PM ET
So I can understand, what schools do you think will bring >$ to P2 & why?**
Stech • 03/23/26 05:15 PM ET
Only ND would brin "more" money to
Big12 guy • 03/23/26 06:24 PM ET
Well my hopes aren't high but short of the ACC being viable long term
Vippie1 • 03/23/26 11:14 AM ET
It is a better fit
