Uva and VT are tied at the Hip in the Conference Realignment melee

The State Govt will be heavily involved to make sure both schools have a suitable landing spot and thats not speculation

Finebaum: SEC and B1G would look at UNC
HOO86 • 07/20/24 08:13 PM ET
Surprised by Stanford > Utah

LINKED Site Looks Like a SEC Hate Site
WarHog38 • 07/21/24 02:20 PM ET
What would happen with UVa if UNC commits to joining the SEC?
Maroon Baboon • 07/20/24 11:20 PM ET
Uva cannot make thst decision

Number 1, you have no knowledge of what is going on behind 'close doors'

Hokie83 • 07/21/24 11:27 AM ET
I just hope our spot is SEC or B1G, and not B12 or weakened ACC.**
hokie77 • 07/21/24 02:51 PM ET
Not even close to what I posted would happen
Hokie83 • 07/21/24 08:05 PM ET
Thanks to “John” Warner starting the monthly lunches for the DOD, in Va,
Stech • 07/21/24 12:48 PM ET
And "suitable" does not mean one in the P2 and the other in the Big 12**
VTCALS72 • 07/21/24 11:32 AM ET
I’d imagine UNC has the same restrictions
Hokie1992 • 07/21/24 07:44 AM ET
They do**
HboroughHokie • 07/21/24 03:22 PM ET
UNC may want UVA as SEC partner. But SEC schools may want VT instead.
HolidayInnHokie • 07/20/24 11:46 PM ET
I think both the Big 10 and SEC are surprised on the 4 members
1947Sunbowl • 07/21/24 05:38 PM ET
That may force UNC to just say no to the SEC and go with UVA to the Big
VTCALS72 • 07/21/24 11:30 AM ET
Philisophically the SEC seems not to succomb to pressure from new or
jdkhokie • 07/21/24 11:16 AM ET
Agree
DrHokie • 07/21/24 07:34 AM ET
I don't think the SEC gives UNC that ultimatum.
Maroon Baboon • 07/20/24 11:50 PM ET
If we've learned nothing else, it seems rivalries are not that important...
Maverick Hokie • 07/20/24 11:32 PM ET
I think rivalries are important, it's just the money chasers don't see how
VPI_1998 • 07/21/24 04:10 AM ET
25% of the fans would probably be OK dropping the Commonwealth Cup, but...
EDGEMAN • 07/21/24 07:52 AM ET
It depends on the rivalry
dayooper • 07/21/24 06:58 AM ET
Sad but true. But in the case of UVa-UNC, it's not that it's a burning
Maroon Baboon • 07/20/24 11:42 PM ET
If the SEC doesn’t want FSU or Clemson, doesn’t that mean that
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/20/24 08:43 PM ET
Lol. Why would "they have to react"?
SpeakToDamien • 07/21/24 12:27 AM ET
Your response suggests you have no experience in corporate
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/21/24 01:27 PM ET
Lol, no. This isn't Risk. That's not how it works**
SpeakToDamien • 07/21/24 01:40 PM ET
I don't know what UVA would do.
HOO86 • 07/20/24 09:08 PM ET
The absolute smartest thing the SEC can do is take UNC, NCSU, UVA & VT,
Stech • 07/20/24 10:08 PM ET
also the SEC can be a force in the DMV, and basically dominate Maryland.**
1947Sunbowl • 07/21/24 05:39 PM ET
The idea that a conference can only have one school per state as always
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/21/24 01:32 PM ET
True, USC-w and UCLA basically the same city.**
Stech • 07/21/24 02:41 PM ET
Except UVA is dead weight ,,,,, UVA = Rutgers**
jdkhokie • 07/21/24 08:04 AM ET
I disagree **
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/21/24 10:58 PM ET
Dude. I hate Uva as much as anyone alive, but
mancunian • 07/21/24 12:18 PM ET
No doubt **
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/21/24 10:59 PM ET
not outside Virginia no one knows they exist**
jdkhokie • 07/21/24 05:19 PM ET
Yes they do **
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/21/24 10:59 PM ET
UVA is very good in basketball and Olympic Sports, VT’s highest ranked 🏈
Stech • 07/21/24 09:57 AM ET
Those 4 as a group would be a HUGE addition to ANY conference **
ombandit • 07/21/24 12:55 AM ET
They also have 2 in Texas, Tennessee, Alabama. That said, they won't take 2
Maroon Unit • 07/20/24 10:17 PM ET
Not sure thats totally accurate **
Hokie83 • 07/21/24 12:11 PM ET
So, do you see UNC/NCST to B1G and VT/UVA to SEC?**
Femoyer Hokie • 07/21/24 12:34 PM ET
I could see all 4 in same conference or split up
Hokie83 • 07/21/24 01:26 PM ET
I don’t know, I could see VA/NC becoming a peeing contest between the P2
