Wouldn't most Hoos prefer B10 to SEC? Plus, there will be some political

jockeying to split the baby in half. If you had to slot VT and UVA into 2 conferences, it really seems like VT to SEC and UVA to B10 make the most sense. Much more so than the other way around.

B1G just took 2 from the same city, SEC took Texas even though A&M opposed

The B10 originally didn't want UCLA, but got Shalala'ed into taking them
LonghornHokie • 05/25/23 03:27 PM ET
Its about brands and # of viewers now. Markets/states are less important.**
HokieNoVA • 05/25/23 10:18 AM ET
Viewers yes, Stanford would’ve been the first P65 taken if about Brands.
Stech • 05/25/23 04:23 PM ET
But OU couldn't get Oklahoma State in.
Maroon Baboon • 05/25/23 12:18 AM ET

I could actually see the SEC grabbing 6:
VTejrep • 05/24/23 10:29 PM ET
If UNC and UVA go B10 I could see the SEC possibly grabbing us. No matter
TDVick • 05/29/23 04:40 PM ET
For the same reason I could see eight to the B10
Truthahn • 05/26/23 03:44 PM ET

Truthahn • 05/26/23 03:41 PM ET

JohnsonCItyHokie • 05/24/23 11:26 PM ET
That would put the SEC at 22.
