Truthahn • 08/07/22 01:01 PM ET
Paterno and cuse screwed it up
Mercury • 08/06/22 04:29 PM ET
Georgetown, Villanova, and Seton Hall were the 3 NO votes on PSU

Mercury • 08/06/22 04:31 PM ET
In name no, but in actuality ... hmmm.

On the down side, VT would have been stuck in the northern division with...
EDGEMAN • 08/06/22 10:10 AM ET
Our only natural rivals are UVA and WVU

VTHokie2000 • 08/06/22 11:19 PM ET
The VT-Miami rivals continued seamlessly. It didn't die as soon as invite.**
