I agree. we know that about the FSU, UNC and Clemson, but WHY did NCSU vote

way they did? Why are they "just an extension?" They are not unless it suits their interests. Implied in what you are saying is that there is a reason they are voting the way UNC wants and that is because they have a deal that they go where UNC goes. And that's the point. UNC has big enough coattails to pull NCSU into the conference they join. I don't see the VA schools having that much clout. Similarly UNC can probably dictate which school among UVA and VT join with them and that school is UVA. That's why I think we will have to split off from UVA. I doubt the B10 wants both or us, but they would take both NCSU and UNC from the same state.

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

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

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.**

I'm a little disappointed Tech didn't vote "No"

If UNC is sufficiently accretive, they can pull in NCSU at a full payout
TDVick • 08/13/23 07:25 AM ET
Nah I think that’s a “VT-focused” look at what’s going on.

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
