They've been POed at VT since we hired Bill Dooley away from them.

He wanted to be both the AD and the Football coach, and VT offered that to him. UNC has been POed ever since.

Can VT establish some rivalry with UNC?
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 02:07 PM ET
Annual Bass Tournament on Kerr Lake! Straddles the border.

They want no piece of that!!! :-)**

Tech is *12-4 against UNC, which is why John Skipper talks about brand MJ,
Stech • 05/12/25 06:24 PM ET
*14-5 since joining the ACC.**

~Same winning percentage ~75% but I did miss a couple of games.**

UNC doesn't care about us **

If UNC had it their way, VT would never have been invited to the ACC, and-

They also got players like Lawrence Taylor and Ronald Curry out of the 757.
Stech • 05/14/25 08:48 AM ET
Turn 460 into an "Interstate" like highway. That should solve it.**
EDGEMAN • 05/14/25 08:57 AM ET
They see us as a more rural version of The Wolfpack...or at least viewed us
Tuckahokie • 05/14/25 06:43 AM ET
I think UNC does not want to have to care about us**
VTCALS72 • 05/12/25 07:39 AM ET
I know. But it’s all business. We should make the most of the situation.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:41 PM ET
Whoring ourselves out isn't going to get us an invite.**
saret • 05/11/25 05:19 PM ET
Doing nothing won’t get us anywhere. VT is not in a strong position.

Do you have evidence beyond coincident timing
Pylons • 05/11/25 11:42 PM ET
I don't think the joint school partnership had anything to do with...
EDGEMAN • 05/12/25 09:02 AM ET
And from WF’s president
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:52 PM ET
Yeah, I'm good with my opinion.
Pylons • 05/12/25 12:05 AM ET
Not much as far as I remember. VT doesn’t need WF once it joined the ACC. **
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:18 AM ET
So you want me to believe only part of the WF president's statement. 👍
Pylons • 05/12/25 09:40 AM ET

"So we will dip into speculation and 'sources say' here"

Believe what you want.

Relationships matter & yes academic relationships effect athletic
Stech • 05/12/25 08:33 AM ET
Academic relationships have virtually no effect on athletic relationships.
marcbvtgm • 05/12/25 09:50 PM ET
I love your passion, but that’s not what I have experienced, granted it’s
Stech • 05/12/25 10:45 PM ET
Yeah. like everything else, it’s all about money and relationships.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:48 PM ET
It takes 2 to tango....
1947Sunbowl • 05/11/25 04:05 PM ET
True. I bet they wouldn’t mind VT fans filling their stadium, though.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:36 PM ET
No not really
1947Sunbowl • 05/12/25 07:32 AM ET
Oh I don’t disagree.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:42 PM ET
It could develop, but I don't think you can really manufacture it
Pylons • 05/11/25 02:21 PM ET
We don’t need a heated rivalry—just enough connection to ensure UNC doesn’t
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:33 PM ET
If UNC gets a P2 invite, they won't be in the business
Pylons • 05/11/25 11:45 PM ET
Then why doesn’t anyone mention the UNC-VT pair as a P2 target?**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:40 AM ET
Who cares?
Pylons • 05/12/25 09:49 AM ET
That doesn’t answer the question.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:34 PM ET
Ignore the great majority is definitely my primary answer.
Pylons • 05/12/25 01:27 PM ET
Got it. I didn’t think you’d actually ignore journalists’ articles, but you
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 05:55 PM ET
UNC has/had NO INTEREST.....
2hhoop3 • 05/11/25 02:20 PM ET
You’re probably right. That doesn’t mean VT shouldn’t try, though.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:39 PM ET
UNC for decades has wanted to recruit Va HS football & basketball, in ftbal
