Agree w/ most of what you said, just guessing, and I think a UVA UNC split

is best for Virginia Tech. I still hope Virginia and Virginia Tech end up in same P2 Conference.

Maryland AD - BIG with 20 teams by 2030**
Athens • 08/28/25 12:17 AM ET
What if McMurphy is right?
RandomAsianGuy • 08/29/25 01:38 PM ET
Virginia Tech needs to get into the AAU, and win football games if we want
Stech • 08/29/25 09:26 PM ET
But, what if he's not? What if he's just being played for him
saret • 08/29/25 02:17 PM ET
True. We don't know. But I think he is more independent.
RandomAsianGuy • 08/29/25 06:29 PM ET
Agreed. We're both just playin' "what if?"**
saret • 08/29/25 08:51 PM ET
I've heard this about Utah, but in no way do I see Utah as the most
Maroon Baboon • 08/29/25 01:53 PM ET
Utah is FSU of the B12.**
RandomAsianGuy • 08/29/25 06:25 PM ET
But with less gravitas.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/29/25 11:57 PM ET
Salt Lake City is now the best and most beautiful city in America.
VPI 1924 • 08/29/25 03:59 PM ET
A lot of great skiing around SLC.
EDGEMAN • 08/29/25 04:08 PM ET
He's probably getting "played" like the rest of us.
saret • 08/29/25 10:07 AM ET
Great source: Because they've really been soooo successful in the BIG lmao**

Stech • 08/29/25 01:34 PM ET
Miami to the Big Ten makes more sense than UVA.**
reestuart • 08/29/25 10:14 AM ET
UVA is an incredibly better fit 4 B1G, their OOS students come from North,
Stech • 08/28/25 05:45 PM ET
I don't think they fit at all. Tiny school compared to the rest of
reestuart • 08/29/25 08:09 AM ET
In terms of enrollment, football, and fan base...
Maroon Baboon • 08/29/25 01:28 PM ET
Same here. And I think VT is a longshot.**
reestuart • 08/29/25 01:29 PM ET
Best shot based on the thinking we think we know, most realistic P2 path
Maroon Baboon • 08/29/25 01:48 PM ET
If you are just thinking about football I get it, but University Presidents
Stech • 08/29/25 09:24 AM ET
Nobody truly cares about that at all. Academics are a non-factor.
reestuart • 08/29/25 09:32 AM ET
I agree you don’t care, but the Presidents with the votes care. It’s not
Stech • 08/29/25 09:51 AM ET
I think the decision will be made based on $ with academics a minor
HokieEngineer • 08/29/25 12:46 PM ET
Yeah, at this point, the Big Ten will be incredibly picky. Nothing about
reestuart • 08/29/25 01:19 PM ET
If it were not for the AAU issue, I'd feel that VT would be near the top of
HokieEngineer • 08/29/25 04:54 PM ET
The presidents don't care. This has been proven. The ACC took Louisville.
reestuart • 08/29/25 10:12 AM ET
You picked the 1 out of 17 that was forced by FSU & Clemson threatening to
Stech • 08/29/25 12:08 PM ET
The ACC has taken Louisville and SMU. The Big Ten passed on Stanford
reestuart • 08/29/25 01:13 PM ET
Most of these Presidents.....
2hhoop3 • 08/29/25 10:02 AM ET
It’s certainly not their first priority, but the B1G has always cared about
Stech • 08/29/25 12:17 PM ET
Stech, Maryland is just passing on the lie they were told.
saret • 08/29/25 01:48 PM ET
I'm not responding 2 Maryland, it's people like Ross Dellenger, Andy Bitter
Stech • 08/29/25 02:50 PM ET
I understand, and may share, your hopes and aspirations. That being said,
saret • 08/29/25 03:46 PM ET
I think it's all a disinformation campaign. The Big Ten and SEC are
reestuart • 08/29/25 02:09 PM ET
I concur. That's why I described Md as just passing on the lie
saret • 08/29/25 02:15 PM ET
Yep. They're are being truthful in they are repeating what they were told.
reestuart • 08/29/25 02:32 PM ET
The B1G cares more about covering up rapes than academics.**

2hhoop3 • 08/29/25 12:53 PM ET
Not fixated on something that I don’t want it to be true. I’m the opposite
Stech • 08/29/25 01:28 PM ET
My reply had nothing......
2hhoop3 • 08/29/25 01:40 PM ET
This is not the basement podcast crew, it's people from ESPN and the one
Stech • 08/29/25 02:45 PM ET
Nothing was said.....
2hhoop3 • 08/29/25 03:08 PM ET
Who are you talking about not believing then? BTW Brett McMurphy talks B10
Stech • 08/29/25 03:18 PM ET
All these pundits you keep mentioning are shills. Some are unwitting,
saret • 08/29/25 03:49 PM ET
I agree they are exposing where the Presidents and networks want to go with
Stech • 08/29/25 04:01 PM ET
For a guy......
2hhoop3 • 08/29/25 03:43 PM ET
Please answer the question, & stop diverting with the tilting at windmills
Stech • 08/29/25 03:56 PM ET
They may have hired Karla with SEC thinking. Not sure.
MrFantastic! • 08/29/25 07:32 AM ET
President that hired her is gone, so new President will be the best clue.

mancunian • 08/29/25 11:50 AM ET
Haha an exaggerated version, but yeah you get the jest of it.**
Stech • 08/29/25 12:11 PM ET
It's down to three that have to find another home if SEC is the destination
HOO86 • 08/28/25 06:40 PM ET
SEC has women's rowing now
mrcaniac • 08/29/25 02:06 PM ET
SEC has Rowing. University of TN has a very nice facility and won the SEC
91HokieBob • 08/29/25 01:19 PM ET
I think the XII has rowing.
hokieball • 08/29/25 08:54 AM ET
WVU uses creeks**
MrFantastic! • 08/29/25 09:12 AM ET
Our best chance is for UVA to go to one and us to the other.
MVIII • 08/28/25 01:30 PM ET
Not so sure about that, but we will see.**
Stech • 08/28/25 05:46 PM ET
Stech got a what if...
1947Sunbowl • 08/29/25 09:01 AM ET
Rumor is this all is flowing good but
MrFantastic! • 08/29/25 09:13 AM ET
Both conferences probably want a foothold in the mid-Atlantic...
mancunian • 08/28/25 02:54 PM ET
Our best chance is to win in fb and bb and push for AAU
HokieAl • 08/28/25 02:42 PM ET
If UNC and UVA are desired by both, the B1G and SEC, then
hokieball • 08/28/25 02:01 PM ET
Cause you know if anyone had inside info, it would be a Terp
Tailgate Guru • 08/28/25 01:05 PM ET
You can question his motives for sharing this info publicly, but there's no
Athens • 08/29/25 07:35 PM ET
lol, MD stirring up trouble. The auditions have started
HokieAl • 08/28/25 10:19 AM ET
UVA is definitely a target**
Sunsetunderground • 08/28/25 09:16 AM ET
Do you guys really think that UVA or GT are worth $80M
Big12 guy • 08/28/25 09:28 AM ET
Big 10 would bring those guys in at pro-rated shares
mancunian • 08/28/25 06:03 PM ET
I don't. Not even close.**
reestuart • 08/28/25 04:19 PM ET
This is an ESPN vs Fox battle
Sunsetunderground • 08/28/25 11:21 AM ET
For now, but those conference media contracts come
Big12 guy • 08/28/25 11:44 AM ET
UVA and UNC will be contested by both the SEC and the BIG.
manassashoo • 08/28/25 11:01 AM ET
Agree that UNC will be contested
HokieAl • 08/28/25 12:44 PM ET
There will be no "defensive" moves by either the SEC or
Big12 guy • 08/28/25 11:10 AM ET
So if they are going to 20 and UNC and Notre Dame are not coming.
Sunsetunderground • 08/28/25 10:00 AM ET
ASU, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and KU have
Big12 guy • 08/28/25 10:13 AM ET
Utah and ASU are the strongest of those
Tailgate Guru • 08/28/25 01:07 PM ET
The market is fragmented in Utah with other FBS
Big12 guy • 08/28/25 01:18 PM ET
FWIW ASU does sponsor men's ice hockey and the Big Ten may covet ice hockey
VTHokie2000 • 08/28/25 10:58 AM ET
If the Big Ten is looking to beef up its western teams, then I assume
VTHokie2000 • 08/28/25 08:32 AM ET
I believe they want more in the Southeast, I sense gloves r off w/ SEC now
Stech • 08/28/25 09:05 AM ET
Maybe so, but GT doesn't strike me as a highly prized southeast school.**
VTHokie2000 • 08/28/25 09:07 AM ET
Agreed, I said that in another post.**
Stech • 08/28/25 05:29 PM ET
It is why I was thinking the Big Ten may be looking more west than
VTHokie2000 • 08/28/25 05:59 PM ET
So GT and ?
EDGEMAN • 08/28/25 07:54 AM ET
Not sure GT is on the first list, time will tell**
Hokie83 • 08/28/25 08:34 AM ET
They definitely upped their football program.**
EDGEMAN • 08/28/25 08:35 AM ET
Recently better, but still have never had a huge following, not in mag 7
Stech • 08/28/25 08:55 AM ET
BIG would take GT if
MrFantastic! • 08/28/25 12:28 PM ET
I Think Mag 7 plus 1 was, ND, but w/o ND, GT could be the plus 1, SEC & B1G
Stech • 08/28/25 05:34 PM ET
I have that same feeling that VT has been nudged by outside power brokers…
hokieball • 08/28/25 01:39 PM ET
At this point, actions speak louder than words. Nothing is truly gained if
