Contiguous states were supposedly a MAJOR deal breaker for the B1G…until they added schools in freaking SoCal. Lol. And all these tired arguments about Clemson and FSU, and VT for that matter, not bringing value are bunk. It’s all just a part of the spin that’s being put out there. Those schools are worth the dough. The B1G and SEC are at a place in which they are indeed becoming the NFL of college football. They can’t leave at passionate and relatively large fan bases. They also cannot afford to leave out massive regions of the country. Those fan bases and regions watch OSU vs. Michigan and Auburn vs. Alabama too…at least they do right now. We live in a world in which the 25 year old TV show Friends is still worth an estimated $1 billion/year. Every recent sports TV contract, with one major exception (the ACC), has been massive. An additional reason why I think VT has a place is because I do believe a chunk of at least 8 ACC schools are gonna need to be involved to get us out of this God forsaken league. VT may not be worth the dough now, but put us in the Atlantic division of the BIG and we certainly will be.
