Wrong. The SEC doesn't WANT most of the ACC since most schools would

cause the pro-rata payout to shrink, so the "ACC" isn't the player here. A few select schools are. We could have DEFINITELY been one of those schools in 2011. Now we MIGHT be one of those schools. Are we more attractive than many schools - YES, but the ACC has a lot of turds - Wake, BC, Syr, Pitt, etc. Now there is definite chance that we could get stiffed. I hope it works out like you suggest, with us in the SEC. But no matter what, most ACC schools won't end up in the SEC.

It looks like USC and UCLA are thinking about leaving the Pac12
CobbCountyHokie • 06/30/22 01:29 PM ET
Those two wouldn't sign the GOR to the PAC12, so we knew they were looking
HOO86 • 06/30/22 08:08 PM ET
I suspect that Org and Wash will also go to B1G as either

Can't wait for that Rutgers-UCLA volleyball match!!**
Lakeridgehokie • 06/30/22 02:51 PM ET
As a matter of self preservation if VT is not already talking to the SEC
IronBlood • 06/30/22 02:50 PM ET
Poppycock**
Colonel Jessup • 06/30/22 04:56 PM ET
As always, VT is going to highly prefer B10 to SEC, given the choice**
Synaesthesia • 06/30/22 04:41 PM ET
Cal and Stanford to ACC?**
obguthr • 06/30/22 02:23 PM ET
I'm not sure UCLA leaving CAL is gonna fly.
Maroon Baboon • 06/30/22 02:38 PM ET
Colorado and Arizona would provide both AAU membership and contiguousness.**
Old Line Hokie • 06/30/22 03:19 PM ET
Getting 6 teams to move at once is hard. Solution is move just a few first.
jesuisvtguy • 06/30/22 02:45 PM ET
ACC will probably counter by adding WVU and Navy ;-)**
133193Hokie • 06/30/22 02:27 PM ET
Nah more like UConn and UMass to strengthen its basketball product and

How is that stupid GOR looking now? As I have stated for years now
133193Hokie • 06/30/22 02:23 PM ET
Till 2036 is just nuts.
Maroon Baboon • 06/30/22 03:14 PM ET
How stupid that GOR......
2hhoop3 • 06/30/22 02:55 PM ET
VT had no better options...
gman86 • 06/30/22 03:51 PM ET
With the B1G going after UCLA/USC...
Old Line Hokie • 06/30/22 03:45 PM ET
If the SEC and B1G cap out at 20 teams, VT is screwed.
IronBlood • 06/30/22 03:50 PM ET
Regardless of whether the Big Ten expands to 20 or 24, VT is probably
VTHokie2000 • 06/30/22 04:30 PM ET
You are also the person who "told me" that I had my timeline
133193Hokie • 06/30/22 03:43 PM ET
You did have it wrong.....
2hhoop3 • 06/30/22 04:01 PM ET
Here you go

2hhoop3 • 06/30/22 08:09 PM ET
I was hoping to get at least a little work done today
hokieball • 06/30/22 02:23 PM ET
Ratings battle: USC-Michigan or VT-Wake. Who ya got?**
Maroon Baboon • 06/30/22 02:21 PM ET
How does the PAC go about "replacing" those two?
OU_Sooner • 06/30/22 02:18 PM ET
Add San Diego State and Fresno State would allow the conference to regain
VTHokie2000 • 06/30/22 03:40 PM ET
The Pac12 as a major influence on college football is done if this goes
Maroon Baboon • 06/30/22 06:20 PM ET
Oh I know the Pac-12 is done as a power conference. However, it doesn't
VTHokie2000 • 06/30/22 07:39 PM ET
Merge with ACC
obguthr • 06/30/22 02:34 PM ET
This smells very much like something engineered by Fox
CobbCountyHokie • 06/30/22 02:15 PM ET
I think you are spot on.....
2hhoop3 • 06/30/22 03:31 PM ET
WTOP DC just reported on it being in discussion. More than rumor....
bgna • 06/30/22 02:12 PM ET
I can see UNC jumping... but only if SEC changes VT for UVA ;)
jesuisvtguy • 06/30/22 02:25 PM ET
We've set ourselves up to be screwed by UNC for the umpteenth time.**
TDVick • 06/30/22 08:38 PM ET
Time for leadership amongst the powerful ACC schools
Colonel Jessup • 06/30/22 02:00 PM ET
IMHO, if the ACC is "done", so is the Big 12.
Old Line Hokie • 06/30/22 03:17 PM ET
I think the....
2hhoop3 • 06/30/22 03:39 PM ET

It is legit. Wow
goldendomer • 06/30/22 01:48 PM ET
I am going to say something wild here...
CobbCountyHokie • 06/30/22 01:55 PM ET
Wrong. The SEC doesn't WANT most of the ACC since most schools would ◄
TDVick • 06/30/22 08:35 PM ET
VT fans might have something to look forward to, if left behind
Synaesthesia • 06/30/22 04:58 PM ET
The SEC doesn't want our "deadwood"
EDGEMAN • 06/30/22 04:08 PM ET
It is past time to abandon ship. I just hope that the GOR does not drag
133193Hokie • 06/30/22 02:27 PM ET
Agree, I am afraid we are screwed. **
LHSHokie • 06/30/22 02:39 PM ET
A Big Ten from New Jersey to California
TerryD • 06/30/22 02:03 PM ET
We will have to make a choice.
goldendomer • 06/30/22 02:02 PM ET
Absolutely **

Makes the B1G more attractive to Notre Dame.**
