They don't really fit the profile of any of the recent expansion additions to the SEC, or - in other words they are the least "SEC-like" This may not be a popular shared opinion but I really don't want to see VT join the SEC. I think the chances of VT being successful in that environment are slim - I don't care how much more money it may be worth. Ending up 5-7 every year doesn't sound great to me. I don't want to end up like Nebraska - words that seemed unfathomable to say just 20 years ago. No offense to WarHog38, but VT probably wouldn't fare much better than Arkansas over the past decade. Our beloved Hokies don't even have nearly the resources they do, and they eke out an 8-5 season every once in a while. Maybe our 10 win season streak was a mirage, but I liked that mirage, and I think VT's national reputation was good. I know I am getting older and living in the past but I really hope somehow, some way VT can stay in a solid regional conference with many traditional rivals and with some good brands. I don't even care if it's called the ACC, BigXII East, or Big East redux. I liked playing Miami, WVU, and sometimes even Pitt. And I like playing UVA, NCST, and UVA now, and FSU and Clemson occasionally, and even UNC. But, the current landscape seems to make this impossible so I must let it go...
