Will not argue with that being the overriding sentiment
I do remember hearing exactly what you stated about owing Virginia. You may have been the one that told me that. I do remember some discussions with specific monikers still here but not much. Just been on too many boards. I do remember some here telling me. Virginia Tech was a football school as was FSU and that Virginia Tech would be in the ACC until FSU left. That may have been the opinion of just several people here just like you or I have our own opinions. My mistake to make appear I thought it was the overriding sentiment on this board.

It didn't have anything to do with FSU. But UVa.

VT to SEC at that point was a nonstarter due to in-state UVa connections

I agree. The only reason VT would have been taken by the SEC is because
