I think we all know that FSU wants out and doesn't have an interest in

adding teams, Clemson likewise. I don't have a read on Miami, but figure they are desired. The jockeying amongst VT, UVA, NCSU and UNC is the interesting part.

If ND wants to add those 2 schools, maybe they should join and vote also .**

ND gets a vote now**

Once some schools knew there were 4 no votes, it was over and everybody

Ok. This makes sense. It was strategic window dressing and everyone

There wasn’t a vote. 4 no’s doesn’t mean 11 yes votes.

Agreed a waste of time to try and "analyze " this as it signifies little.**

Yes it was an unofficial vote or a non-vote, but the allocation of whatever

Honestly I think the best both VT and UVA can hope for in the short term

I think that UVA is in a lot better spot than we are. Do you think they

Stanford didn’t get a sniff from the Big Ten.
hokieZ71 • 08/13/23 09:07 AM ET
That's not true. B1G Presidents wanted Stanford & Cal. Fox was the problem

The Canes No vote didn't count because of a hanging chad ballot.**

hokieZ71 • 08/13/23 08:12 AM ET
I agree. we know that about the FSU, UNC and Clemson, but WHY did NCSU vote
TDVick • 08/13/23 08:20 AM ET
NC State has the same governing body as UNC.
hokieZ71 • 08/13/23 08:22 AM ET
To some degree, you're saying that UNC has much bigger pull politically
TDVick • 08/13/23 08:29 AM ET
I want there to be more no votes, not less.**

Yes. The fact that there were ONLY four is surprising, but the composition

I would like VT in the SEC, reformed ACC, Big 12, Big 10 in that order
