Yes, we could have had the four corners, too, IMO.

But probably not Ore and Wash. The six western teams, plus SMU would have made a nice scheduling block, to keep everyone from having to travel so much. Just as important, it would have crushed the B12. We could have taken OK State, too.

Makes perfect sense

That would be a devastating blow to BYU

Right, we would be playing 3-D chess to Yormark's checkers.

I'd love to have Utah
HOO86 • 05/27/24 12:16 AM ET
Even trade
Millpoint • 05/27/24 07:14 AM ET
Would you settle for Wake?
Maroon Baboon • 05/27/24 06:54 PM ET
No Wake or BC**
Millpoint • 05/27/24 07:53 PM ET
You could have Florida State.
HOO86 • 05/27/24 09:22 AM ET
Why trade?
hokieZ71 • 05/27/24 08:44 AM ET
Wonder if they get the Calford deal or the SMU deal?
WBGV • 05/26/24 09:19 PM ET
Utah would make sense at a full share.
Truthahn • 05/27/24 10:01 AM ET
Time to circle the wagons around the Virginia Tech brand.
Maroon Baboon • 05/26/24 09:08 PM ET
They do not want to be in the Big 12
Millpoint • 05/26/24 09:34 PM ET
Utah and Arizona State
Millpoint • 05/26/24 08:10 PM ET
They have not officially joined yet
DrHokie • 05/26/24 09:45 PM ET
The contracts have been signed, but the next round? Maybe. The
Big12 guy • 05/27/24 10:27 AM ET
Well, their football schedules have been set, and possibly some
RJHokie • 05/26/24 09:56 PM ET
So will they play in the ACC this year?
Millpoint • 05/26/24 09:54 PM ET
Highly unlikely at this point.
RJHokie • 05/26/24 09:58 PM ET
Should have jumped on them before **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/26/24 09:16 PM ET
I think that was before we got Calford
obguthr • 05/27/24 09:51 AM ET
The ACC did talk to Utah & Arizona, both chose the B12**
BROman Hokie • 05/26/24 10:02 PM ET
Jim Phillips did.
HOO86 • 05/27/24 12:26 AM ET
Surprised Utah jumped
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/26/24 11:14 PM ET
Same here, but they were under duress**
BROman Hokie • 05/26/24 11:45 PM ET
It does shame acc didnt act quickly
DMV Gobbler • 05/26/24 07:48 PM ET
I think Oregon and Wash had an offer from us.
Truthahn • 05/27/24 10:06 AM ET
Utah maybe, Washington and Oregon had their sights set on the Big ten.**
wwhokie1 • 05/26/24 09:37 PM ET
You're delusional Mercury........
2hhoop3 • 05/26/24 08:19 PM ET
Yeah. I think UO and UW were always going to the B1G, albeit on a discount.

2036 in this dynamic market was a no go. That and the votes of the MAG 7. **
