I Can Understand that Sentiment

Arkansas doesn't have that history of bouncing around trying to find a good home for the program. The Hogs could have been somewhat in that position bordering the Big-8 back then as much as the SEC. Arkansas could have went to the Big-8 as easily as the SEC. The Northwest corner of Arkansas is more mid west mentality than SEC southern south. That area of the state always voted Republican even 50 & 60 years ago. Long before the Republican Party became a southern thing. The South had voted Democratic previous to that recent change since the Civil War. Frank Broyles had SEC roots but he was a visionary in college football. Broyles predicted a lot of this turmoil many decades ago. I just do not respond well to picky analysis of a word chosen while I am trying to convey something I read from multiple sources on the internet concerning expansion. I would not post anything I feel is false here. I just see it as condescending rubbish that is just opposed to the overall message of my post. I have not been on any FSU board encouraging them to leave the ACC. I would not ever want to be on those FSU boards after an experience of about a decade ago.

Another ACC Meeting on Expansion

Most VT fans grew up in Mid-Atlantic area and watched (with envy) ACC games

Why wouldn't most on this board want the ACC to survive?
Old Line Hokie 08/22/23 03:19 PM ET
would you roam once more if SEC come calling?**

I agree that many VT fans (me included) have always wanted into the ACC.

Has Tech ever pushed for SEC membership during its history?
Old Line Hokie 08/22/23 07:03 PM ET
Tech was in the running when USCe got in
Marooned 08/22/23 07:17 PM ET
Never knew that. Tech tried to get into the ACC when USC-E left the ACC.

“Maybe” if ND to 6 ACC games, it passes, but TerryD & Domer say no way not
Stech 08/22/23 01:01 PM ET
I would vote no until...
EDGEMAN 08/22/23 05:24 PM ET
I certainly understand that point of view, but I would’ve taken the 6th
Stech 08/22/23 05:28 PM ET
You should get used to the idea......
2hhoop3 08/22/23 02:44 PM ET
I have always thought the TV networks we’re driving the bus, have stated it

ESPN recently asked SEC to play nine conference games. Sankey said

As far as predictions go.....
TerryD 08/22/23 02:28 PM ET
1st is correct, the the next two are not. Nice deflection from the 5 games.
Stech 08/22/23 04:47 PM ET
Oh the list is longer than that, but that is a good starting point**
goldendomer 08/22/23 02:40 PM ET
Need 12 yes votes from ACC schools (incl ND). Hope the votes aren't there.**

FSU is either a hollow threat or they're gone anyhow. Now that the August

Yeah, the only reason I might actually this move

I like the idea of a late night Saturday game at Cal or Stanford each week
