They ought to petition the Ivy League to join that conference.

That’s more their flavor/culture. SEC is definitely a counter-culture for the Hoowahs. The BIG aligns better with their Olympic Sports though.

The ACC hasn't been fine for a while. Two signs of illness: ND and Maryland

You and others on this thread have disturbingly low expectations.
Poultrygeist • 05/07/24 09:53 PM ET
Odds are what happens will be totally unacceptable to you

Head to head, what does CU offer the SEC relative to VT?

Disney lost 10% of its market cap today

Could happen, Disney+ and Hulu turned a profit in Q1, but ESPN+ is a $ pit**

VT will end up in the Big12. Not sure where VPI is going.**

Gosh I hope not. Who in that league is an attractive opponent

If money is important - then yes - it’s better

Atlee Hokie • 05/08/24 07:02 AM ET
Again I ask, why is SEC supposedly interested in UVA?
cvillehokie92 • 05/07/24 05:44 PM ET
Because they have money and a national "name"
VTCALS72 • 05/08/24 08:15 AM ET
To me , UVA is not interested in the culture that it takes
Hokie12thman • 05/07/24 07:02 PM ET
Totally agree. Great post.**
Poultrygeist • 05/07/24 09:56 PM ET
UVA resembles Columbia U. more than Alabama**

They ought to petition the Ivy League to join that conference. ◄

I agree with you on UVA, but that fake classes thing UNC pulled off
