You need to step back and learn.......

to not react emotionally when your point of view is challenged. Here is the argument and points in a nutshell. First, nobody said academics couldn't play some role but, that the driving force is the business of sports. Second, the point was not that the reporters did not know what they were talking about BUT, that understanding sources and motivations of those saying it was critical to understanding the meaning. Third, the fact that in this information age stories move so fast that the original story can be buttressed by subsequent stories relying on one another and that ultimately it results in circular reasoning and logic being validation of the original theory, see the reports of FSU and Clemson being gone from the ACC last summer if your memory needs refreshing. Fourth, I have answered each one of your posts and questions directly and not ducked anything. You just didn't like the answers you got and turned around and did exactly what you accused others of with regards to refusing to see. I hope this clarifies things for you and have a good weekend.

I85Hokie • 08/30/25 02:41 PM ET
I expect UNC and UVa to the SEC. **
RandomAsianGuy • 08/30/25 02:55 PM ET
I’m not sure UVA wants the SEC over the B1G, but time will tell.**
Stech • 08/30/25 09:11 PM ET
There is no culture fit in the SEC for UVA
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/31/25 10:10 AM ET
Yes & having more coverage n the North where they get out of state students

I disagree that UVA would have no culture fit in the SEC because they

DUCK, if it’s not good for Virginia Tech, they will attack the messenger!!!

you think State will step in on UVA and stay you cannot go anywhere with VT
1947Sunbowl • 08/30/25 07:36 PM ET
I think the relationship between UVA & VT has been strong for decades, and
Stech • 08/30/25 08:47 PM ET
LOL so true. I guess people just don’t like UVa being mentioned. **
RandomAsianGuy • 08/30/25 02:03 PM ET

See my new posting. **
RandomAsianGuy • 08/30/25 02:23 PM ET
My rebuttal is, why does UNC need a tagalong? These conferences are so big
reestuart • 08/30/25 03:51 PM ET
They would want an even number of teams. **
RandomAsianGuy • 08/30/25 11:30 PM ET
probably, but there's no real reason for it now.**
reestuart • 09/01/25 09:15 AM ET
They will likely have one, but I am not sure it’s UVA, UVA aligns with B1G
Stech • 08/30/25 09:17 PM ET

Stech • 08/29/25 03:24 PM ET
It does play a role. But I think academics is a necessary condition never
