Most major conference additions have been busts though

Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, wtf.... Most of these were regional, TV market driven. Like BC, Syracuse and Pitt, not much value added. Then the Big XII doing nothing but start adding G5 teams out the wazzu, like TCU, Houston, Cincinnati, BYU, UCF. Except for WVU, the Big XII is morphing into an elite G5 league. (That the media seems to love, for whatever reason) So based on that, I could see UVA getting the invite before VT. Gosh, if the ACC could add Oregon, Washington and Stanford, that would be better than any moves outside of the Texas/OU/LA additions. That's literally my only hope that we can survive in the ACC. The B1G and SEC stop at no more than 18 and the ACC adds some good West Coast programs.

That’s true but our football program is head and shoulders above them. And

Yeah, but 90% of the $$ behind this is for football.

That's exactly my point. We hear and read from a writer's perspective

Not sure the love for UVA either. They are no better than the #2 team...

In either of the two P2 conferences, they would be a .250 team at best.

This is about football, SEC doesn't give a crap about the LAX champ, etc.**
