They aren't KU, UNC, or Duke. It's more about UVa's connection to UNC, their academic reputation, and perhaps in general, getting into the state while having a preference of UVa a bit more so over VT. And if anything, it might also be their overall athletic programs in non-revs. But I don't think any P2 president is sitting there thinking, we might go to 76. Better grab the Hoos.

Yep. I'd rather it go to 48. I also wouldn't mind if they'd limit bids -- reestuart Feb 25, 2026 at 10:43 AM ET

I don’t want an expansion but I am not a decision maker. ** -- RandomAsianGuy Feb 24, 2026 at 06:02 PM ET

Yeah. I didn't like when they went to 68. 64 was perfect. -- Maroon Baboon Feb 25, 2026 at 09:13 AM ET
