If only 1 VA school receives an invitation to the P2 table, then it would

take the state politicians a lot of balls to force said school to walk away from millions (maybe even billions if the P2 eventually leads to a collgegiate super league) because both schools become an afterthought once the dust settles.

Could the Josh Pate thing be this? ND and the ACC.
Maroon Baboon • 07/11/24 12:18 AM ET
ND isn't joining the ACC in football.
EDGEMAN • 07/11/24 10:26 AM ET
What is everyone's fascination with divisions?
jesuisvtguy • 07/11/24 10:08 AM ET
The P2 pretty much has to. Too big a geographic footprint
VTCALS72 • 07/11/24 12:12 PM ET
Divisions make sense if Notre Dame wants them.
Maroon Baboon • 07/11/24 10:41 AM ET
SEC is Now Dropping Divisions With 16 Members / EDIT

i loathe divisions for one simple reason
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/11/24 10:20 AM ET
Agree - getting rid of the divisions is a better way to match up the 2 best
VPI_1998 • 07/11/24 12:20 PM ET
No it’s not ND.

FSU doesn't own their TV rights. That's impossible **

They can’t announce they are leaving?

Must not have ever read Faulkner. The SEC opinion of UVA aint that great. **

Include Calford and Duke

Wow. I wasn't thinking about the A&M angle. What if ESPN worked a deal that
Maroon Baboon • 07/11/24 10:53 AM ET
A&M will never cede the SEC to UT unless it's for the B1G.

If TAMU wants to get away from Texas and get under Texas' skin, then a move
VTHokie2000 • 07/12/24 11:24 AM ET
Uva will only go if vt goes with them
1947Sunbowl • 07/11/24 09:35 AM ET
I’m starting to see a path for all 4 VA/NC schools to go to the SEC.
hokieZ71 • 07/11/24 10:32 AM ET
UNC won't want a deal that includes VT
El Paso Hokie • 07/12/24 02:45 PM ET
I believe this to be true
VTCALS72 • 07/12/24 08:58 PM ET
It's all going to work out.......
2hhoop3 • 07/12/24 09:41 PM ET
I still don't think the VA/NC markets are strong enough to warrant 2 teams
HokieNoVA • 07/11/24 06:55 PM ET
I don’t know. I feel like the SEC might not want elite football teams
hokieZ71 • 07/11/24 08:21 PM ET
It is not unreasonable.......

This actually makes sense on a number of levels, which of course rules it

Well this affects millions of dollars to fhe local economy
1947Sunbowl • 07/14/24 05:51 PM ET
And having 0 schools from the state won't have a bigger financial impact?
VTHokie2000 • 07/15/24 12:34 PM ET
You read me wrong with this
1947Sunbowl • 07/16/24 07:20 AM ET
My point was that both schools may not receive an invitation though.
VTHokie2000 • 07/16/24 01:23 PM ET
Interesting my question is notre dame
1947Sunbowl • 07/11/24 07:42 AM ET
Since the ACC disbanded the divisions, why would they want to go back to it
VTHokie2000 • 07/11/24 01:45 AM ET
The ACC-ND deal was in 2013. Much has changed since then.
Maroon Baboon • 07/11/24 02:53 AM ET
Yes, there are more incentives now than in 2013. However, I believe most
VTHokie2000 • 07/11/24 06:44 AM ET
Probably not. But Notre Dame's propensity to despise the Big Ten can't be
Maroon Baboon • 07/11/24 08:51 AM ET
I wouldn't characterize it as a disliking of B1G

It is both

VTHokie2000 • 07/12/24 11:05 AM ET
I support Johns Hopkins in their moves to join the Big Ten in all sports
TerryD • 07/12/24 01:37 PM ET
That assume they have any desire to move up from DIII. So far I haven't
