We have discussed the B12 being complicate in some sort of

bigger plan or conspiracy. I have always disagreed with this. If however, the rumors are true, and they end up giving financial considerations to attract current ACC members, I will change my position, and tip my hat to you. Up to this point, I think the B12 has just been lucky in timing and geography. let's see how this plays out before we come to conclusions however, because statements like that are as bad as the B12 You Tube hacks.

FSU, Clemson, NCSU, & VT to B12 is the latest thing I see being tossed

VT going to the B12 will happen if that is the Hokies "only and very last"
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/18/24 05:26 PM ET
I would rather be in the Sunbelt, than B12, way more local rivalries,
Stech • 07/18/24 06:30 PM ET
If you lived in Dallas (like I do) you would
HokieDelNorte • 07/19/24 05:03 PM ET
I'd bet that most Sun Belt schools would jump at a chance to join the B12.
HokieNoVA • 07/19/24 11:28 AM ET
Of course they would, everybody is letting the money run them, but college
Stech • 07/19/24 12:04 PM ET
I agree but the money won't be the same **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/19/24 09:14 AM ET
You are right that the money won't be the same. What will be interesting
VTHokie2000 • 07/19/24 10:58 AM ET
Stech, your post does make sense, the more I think about it !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/18/24 06:59 PM ET
I don't think anyone assumes otherwise. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 06:09 PM ET
MHver3 not a credible source.**
Maroon Baboon • 07/18/24 02:58 PM ET
The only credible source will be an official announcement. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 04:24 PM ET
Don’t think VT will leave for big 12 without UVA - we have a chip
Hokie12thman • 07/18/24 02:39 PM ET
exactly...
1947Sunbowl • 07/18/24 02:49 PM ET
The Big 12 tries to scare everyone to get what they want, here we go again.**
Stech • 07/18/24 01:15 PM ET
I don't think the Big 12........
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 01:27 PM ET
I wish he didn’t scare anyone, but most of the P12 didn’t want to go and
Stech • 07/18/24 06:58 PM ET
If there are ACC teams........
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 07:36 PM ET
I agree it’s a different situation, fear sometimes overrules brains.
Stech • 07/18/24 08:01 PM ET
We have discussed the B12 being complicate in some sort of ◄
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 01:37 PM ET
Don't think I'd call them lucky...
hokieluver • 07/18/24 02:39 PM ET
I appreciate the post. The Big east football schools needed a different
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 02:45 PM ET
How this plays out......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 01:58 PM ET
You have your beliefs, and I have mine, amazed they don't always line up. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 02:01 PM ET
I think we both know......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 02:10 PM ET
There does seem to be more of them than ACC hacks - I'll give you that. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 02:20 PM ET
I don't think the Big 12 is much if at all the generator of a conspiracy
VTCALS72 • 07/18/24 01:54 PM ET
This is not the B12's fault. **
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 01:18 PM ET
Would prefer remain in ACC than B12. As most on here, want B10 or SEC ($$).**
hokie77 • 07/18/24 11:14 AM ET
The play is not the Big 12,......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 11:56 AM ET
If we get P2 payouts and CFP bids, why not?
obguthr • 07/18/24 08:04 AM ET
Everyone not in the P2 could say that. The problem is that it
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 08:36 AM ET
There is another angle to the PE firm aspect that we don't know
HokieAl • 07/18/24 10:02 AM ET
Ya, I don't know what to think of the PE with the information we
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 10:15 AM ET
and if it is a success than the SEC/B1G would follow and the Big12/ACC
133193Hokie • 07/18/24 10:19 AM ET
Maybe not. The P2's advantage is set in stone, and they are making bank
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 10:25 AM ET
Agreed
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/18/24 09:45 AM ET
If the ACC loses their top 2 schools, they also lose some guaranteed
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 10:01 AM ET
The position I have espoused here many times is that the BIG12 and ACC
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/18/24 10:13 AM ET
It also won't happen because of academics. Some schools just
HokieAl • 07/18/24 11:05 AM ET
Academics is a false flag......
2hhoop3 • 07/18/24 01:16 PM ET
Yeah Louisville jumped to mind even as I posted.
HokieAl • 07/18/24 02:18 PM ET
it's always about perception, and the money. You try to position
Big12 guy • 07/18/24 01:32 PM ET
It is somewhat humorous and sad that Calford pursuit of membership
WBGV • 07/18/24 01:16 PM ET
Its not that the fans of non-P2 conferences are saying that...
EDGEMAN • 07/18/24 09:42 AM ET
The odds of that happening are between slim and none...
EDGEMAN • 07/18/24 08:24 AM ET
LOL!**
EDGEMAN • 07/18/24 06:08 AM ET
No thank you **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/18/24 05:46 AM ET
That won't happen not anytime soon, no doubt about it. Better options will
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/18/24 12:22 AM ET
So dumb**
SpeakToDamien • 07/17/24 11:56 PM ET
Here's Greg Swaim's tweet just a few minutes ago, FWIW**
VTChip • 07/17/24 10:38 PM ET
Another tweet from Swaim suggesting B12 may not want FSU…..
CrystalCoveHokie • 07/18/24 09:10 AM ET
I still am amazed at how extensive the media has spread the "FSU is bad"
HokieAl • 07/18/24 09:49 AM ET
I wonder who “presented” it to him, Walt Disney? 😂🤣**
ombandit • 07/18/24 07:45 AM ET
Nah! Goofy did.**
Atlee Hokie • 07/18/24 08:32 AM ET
He’s now doubling down. The sky is falling 😂**
VTChip • 07/18/24 07:05 AM ET
Oops missed posting his other tweet**
VTChip • 07/18/24 07:12 AM ET
TV folks want the SEC and B10 to stand down?
VTCALS72 • 07/18/24 06:29 AM ET
The only part I believe at all is that the small private ACC schools
HokieAl • 07/17/24 11:47 PM ET
so the B1G would rather have GT, uva and Miami than Stanford or Cal?
BUGGZY • 07/17/24 10:53 PM ET
Greg's late as usual.......
