The key may be related to local economies, but

package deals still don't make sense...if it were to come down to a choice between a virtual guarantee of keeping one economy strong while risking the other suffering...versus...risking that both suffer...who is choosing the latter? Who chooses dumping both by the side of the road when one can be saved?

What if we have been thinking expansion too much? I have a theory
HokieAl • 07/28/26 11:40 PM ET
i feel everything is largely unpredictable right now
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/29/26 02:53 PM ET
Yep a lot of unpredictable factors

Apparently, the anti expansion clause in PCSA is not a major sticking point
RandomAsianGuy • 07/29/26 12:36 PM ET
That’s because it is not that strict. See my response above**

I agree that the little p2 does not have to have 14-20 teams.

I think we need to define what the package deal really means

I think the VA pressure back in ACC expansion was unique

And had they not gotten involved we likely are in the SEC already**

And if the politicians wouldn't stand in the way, there's no package deal

In reality Virginia has 2 flagship schools
VTCALS72 • 07/30/26 07:36 AM ET
Well, I'd say in reality there can really be only one flagship
