VT in the P2

Yea, I think your questions are spot on. Nothing ever in writing. All behind the curtain talk. The SEC and ESPN cannot be in collusion despite their union when it comes to the ACC GoR. The B1G and SEC will expand to 20 teams. That is at least what FOX wants. When the CFP details get ironed out much of the horse trading will be revealed. The Mag7 are all in discussions. That's not a rumor. Of course VT has been weighing a P2 option for well over a year like most. Those discussions and planning do not require an invite. When the ACC dissolves, VT like everyone else will have a Plan A, B, C or D. But I think it is going to happen much quicker than any admins realized (see June 30) or at least before August 15. Just like with how the PAC 12 went down fast. I believe there will be 6 ACC programs at least that end up in the P2 well before 2030 and VT will be one of them with UVA. That depends on several mitigating factors - academia not being one of them... - the ability to fit into a high level compensation model for athletes - the ability to pay anti-trust court settlements coming down the pike Basically the usual money requirements. ** Edited by INSIDE99 at 3/30/2024, 2:11:31 AM

You know what? If the Pac12 can vaporize, the ACC can vaporize**
MrBayAreaHokie 03/30/24 03:42 PM ET
About the same chances as all 7 having landing spots in the P2
VTCALS72 03/29/24 10:12 PM ET
I still don’t see how Georgia Tech and Pitt are so undervalued
lawhokie 03/30/24 08:04 AM ET
They are the "other school" in states dominated by a single team
GALOISGROUP 04/01/24 02:21 PM ET
It's all about "brand" now
TerryD 03/30/24 04:28 PM ET
Just a guess
VTCALS72 03/30/24 08:20 AM ET
Frankly, I don't think all 7 have invites in hand, but that is just
Big12 guy 03/29/24 10:27 PM ET
you asked for the chances. I gave my opinion on what those chances are
VTCALS72 03/29/24 10:37 PM ET
Fair enough. **
Big12 guy 03/29/24 10:40 PM ET
Unlikely with FSU/Clemson having P2 spots…
BROman Hokie 03/29/24 06:37 PM ET
An easier way to do this is to form a mini-relegation and promotion system
Maroon Baboon 03/29/24 06:22 PM ET
FSU and Clemson will be in the SEC in 2-3 years.

Mag 7 in discussions with P2
INSIDE99 03/29/24 06:07 PM ET
IF there are P2 invites for the Mag 7, then how are those secured?
Marooned 03/29/24 11:22 PM ET
VT in the P2
INSIDE99 03/30/24 02:01 AM ET
I think 8 votes to dissolve is an urban legend and this is much more likely
daveinop 03/29/24 05:50 PM ET
I love the MAG7. Let's do it!
Truthahn 03/29/24 04:54 PM ET
It’s a good lineup:
lawhokie 03/29/24 05:14 PM ET
I don’t see Duke or Cuse staying with no home for their FB
Marooned 03/29/24 11:33 PM ET
Yeah, plus would be a pride issue**
lawhokie 03/30/24 07:49 AM ET
The June 30th date is why I think it may be real. **
Big12 guy 03/29/24 04:59 PM ET
Can't see them forming a temporary conference. Without a network this
wwhokie1 03/29/24 04:53 PM ET
It's all about the timing. **
Big12 guy 03/29/24 05:02 PM ET
Yes, I see this, too.
Truthahn 03/29/24 05:01 PM ET
ND is not going to vote to dissolve the ACC
TerryD 03/30/24 12:29 PM ET
Cannot imagine why Notre Dame would vote to dissolve. No benefit to them.**

What happens to Notre Dame if the Mag7 go to them and they don't want to

The 8th school could be someone like a Louisville that says to heck

FSU people were saying the 8th was Louisville to B12, it’s plausible, as

If ND votes to dissolve the ACC, that would put them in a bind for future

They can't go until this litigation is settled. keep in mind, no matter

I am wondering if Duke would like to just join the Big East

What reports? Can you link?

This FSU dude is reporting it too
