I was just trying see "if" there was a way to merge the ACC and Big 12...

yeah, the academic angle is little more than a farce. They surely wouldn't

You're probably right.**
Old Line Hokie • 04/12/24 10:27 AM ET

DMV Gobbler • 04/12/24 09:32 AM ET

Yeah. Texas to SEC and USC to B1G changed EVERYTHING sadly.

But VT had more research than everyone invited this last round except for 1

It's not research $$$$ that determines AAU membership
mrcaniac • 04/12/24 05:26 PM ET
