UVa, UNC and GT would be tidy….

for the B1G. 3 AAU schools all connected by state lines and gives them TJ’s university, Tar Heel basketball lore and the city of Atlanta as you said. Of course, most conferences would jump on ND right away if they were looking but they say they want to remain independent. I sure hope TerryD is right because I would love to see ND left out of the P2 equation. That said, my fear is our beloved Tech being left out of the equation and getting stuck in another lesser conference with a partial member ND. If Tech gets left out, I hope we end up somewhere ND isn’t.

Controversial opinion: but I appreciate what FSU is doing.

Nice Julian Assange analogy there...

ND has already decided

It’s been repeated here many times, if ND had to be in a P2 to get to the

That may be good news for a school like GA Tech...

Why do people continue to emphasize AAU membership with B1G expansion?**
marcbvtgm • 12/25/23 01:42 PM ET
You sound so irritated**
Calamitous • 12/25/23 09:03 PM ET
Think the pending FSU lawsuit explains the lack of passion from Phillips
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/24/23 11:01 AM ET
Maybe if I wasn't fairly certain that VT will end up someplace worse...
HokieNoVA • 12/24/23 10:41 AM ET
I dont see the B12 as a given, time will tell
Hokie83 • 12/24/23 11:13 AM ET
I think of VT and the P2 like this (tell me if the board agrees/disagrees)
Will StewartAdmin • 12/24/23 12:39 PM ET
Yep, I agree. Used to get worked up over this but don't care now.
Hokester • 12/27/23 10:27 AM ET
And if we ARE included in the new top 40 we'll be someones punching bag...?**
PowerEye • 12/25/23 01:58 PM ET
Neither agree nor disagree…
Calamitous • 12/24/23 10:39 PM ET
11-1 with a conference championship feels good even without cfp bid.**
proudhokie2001 • 12/24/23 07:14 PM ET
I do feel better with 83's take, I thought we would be doomed to B12 or
VTMONEY94 • 12/24/23 05:06 PM ET
Perhaps, but the better predictor is what our impact is to their per team
Marooned • 12/24/23 02:06 PM ET
Who are VT's football and academic peers?
Maroon Baboon • 12/24/23 01:56 PM ET
Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Rutgers, Maryland, Michigan st almost.
proudhokie2001 • 12/24/23 07:19 PM ET
Anybody in the current ACC or Big12 is a peer.
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/24/23 02:04 PM ET
I'd love to agree, but Texas, OU, and really Clemson and FSU aren't peers.
Hokie 04 • 12/24/23 05:17 PM ET
UT and OU are now in the SEC, not the Big12. Assumed FSU and CU
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/24/23 07:41 PM ET
I'm still trying to decide if I want VT in either of those leagues
VPI_1998 • 12/24/23 01:13 PM ET
I vacillate between despising the Big Ten and despising the SEC.
Maroon Baboon • 12/24/23 02:03 PM ET
Tech in the SEC would provide far more interesting regional games. But…
VTownie • 12/24/23 05:39 PM ET
I like regional rivalries and I don't think the SEC offers as many as
VPI_1998 • 12/25/23 06:34 AM ET
Amen.**
Femoyer Hokie • 12/24/23 01:10 PM ET
Will, couldn't agree more. Other than the amusement provided
saret • 12/24/23 01:08 PM ET
Totally agree. I actually think VT could prosper in a "2nd tier division,
NokieHokie • 12/24/23 12:47 PM ET
Yes. And it will end with at least 48. Or a very different 40 than what
VTDC • 12/24/23 12:43 PM ET
“Julian Assange of the ACC”
Calamitous • 12/24/23 09:13 AM ET
Great post, and I agree wholeheartedly. I just wish Tech's "leadership"

oh gawd that dont even deserve a response
DMV Gobbler • 12/24/23 03:21 PM ET
Hey Mercury, why did you change your name?**
NokieHokie • 12/24/23 05:24 PM ET
Not enough misspellings/bad grammar for a Mercury post**
Hokie 04 • 12/25/23 01:20 PM ET
Mercury's phrase was "oh gawd" & the random lack of capitalizations is him.**
NokieHokie • 12/25/23 01:23 PM ET
Guess one has to change their name when they move from
Brewing_Hokie • 12/24/23 05:31 PM ET
Still waiting for the people leading Tech to disband the VTCC as y'all said**
NokieHokie • 12/24/23 11:47 AM ET
really? really?
DMV Gobbler • 12/24/23 03:22 PM ET
We have posters who believe the "leadership that hates VT" hates the Corp

Well said - there are some mornings I wake up and feel precisely the way
VPI_1998 • 12/24/23 04:34 AM ET
Just remember they are bragging about being mediocre in a semi-pro league
Marooned • 12/24/23 11:56 AM ET
On target and very well stated !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 12/25/23 09:25 PM ET
It ain't just the lack of pro sports
Vippie1 • 12/24/23 09:08 AM ET
Oh it’s definitely cultural: but don’t discount VT in that regard
Marooned • 12/24/23 01:39 PM ET
Mississippi State chanting SEC is like Cornell bragging about the Ivy
