They kind of are a sleeping giant, but hoops is king at UNC, especially

with their fanbase, and it holds them back. If somehow their fanbase goes all-in for football then they can become formidable, but that just hasn't happened and may never happen if the fans don't buy in. ** Edited by VPI_1998 at 7/6/2022, 11:55:32 AM

Scenario
VTCRZY • 07/06/22 06:50 AM ET
AAU (lack thereof) is going to hurt us.**
HokieDelNorte • 07/06/22 12:15 PM ET
No it won’t.**
marcbvtgm • 07/06/22 04:18 PM ET
SEC/Big Ten take two more teams each. ND, Oregon to BIG, CU, UNC to SEC.
BNOMO • 07/06/22 09:58 AM ET
It's going to be costly for UNC/Clemson...
Old Line Hokie • 07/06/22 10:38 AM ET
I hope. I know there’s not going to be 30 team super conferences though..
BNOMO • 07/06/22 10:56 AM ET
Duke and Virginia could be of great value to the B1G in the future.
tarheelblue • 07/06/22 11:21 AM ET
At some point the B1G picks up more west teams. B1G
133193Hokie • 07/06/22 08:52 AM ET
UVA, UNC, Duke, and GT would be more likely to Big-10
I85Hokie • 07/06/22 08:44 AM ET
Expansion is football driven first. Duke and UVA? What do they bring to a
BNOMO • 07/06/22 10:59 AM ET
I posted this above, but I will post it here again.
tarheelblue • 07/06/22 11:24 AM ET
Hoops tourney makes money be ause of it's breadth and diversity across
133743Hokie • 07/06/22 01:28 PM ET
One could say the same thing about college football.**
tarheelblue • 07/06/22 01:40 PM ET
I agree with this. If they had their pick**
133193Hokie • 07/06/22 08:53 AM ET
The B1G would be better off picking up Ore, Wash, Stanford and ND
hokieZ71 • 07/06/22 08:28 AM ET
UVA, UNC, Pitt, GT - all AAU schools; VT not an AAU school
VT Pops • 07/06/22 08:11 AM ET
AAU is not a mandatory requirement
Mercury • 07/06/22 08:41 AM ET
My point
VT Pops • 07/06/22 09:56 AM ET
I guarantee if VT checks off enough of the right boxes, it won’t matter**
marcbvtgm • 07/06/22 02:09 PM ET
Maybe tv will call that shot. If I'm the network, I want some say.**
IB4TECH • 07/06/22 10:18 AM ET
Nebraska lost its AAU status after it joined.
hokieZ71 • 07/06/22 08:30 AM ET
Actually they lost it before they joined
EDGEMAN • 07/06/22 08:33 AM ET
I guarantee the B1G prez’s knew NU was being kicked out before the invite**
marcbvtgm • 07/06/22 02:07 PM ET
You'd be one of three non AAU members if ND also joins
clemson81nc • 07/06/22 08:15 AM ET
Didn’t know they lost it**
VT Pops • 07/06/22 09:53 AM ET
They were in the process of losing it when they were invited.**
marcbvtgm • 07/06/22 02:10 PM ET
I think we are quickly reaching the point where remaining teams only
Femoyer Hokie • 07/06/22 08:04 AM ET
The VA market is still untapped by the SEC. That's an advantage for us.**
IB4TECH • 07/06/22 10:22 AM ET
That is a possibility. That’s why insiders say UNC is the second choice…
BNOMO • 07/06/22 11:02 AM ET
I bet Clemson is bigger in Charlotte than UNC.**

UNC has been .....

Vippie1 • 07/06/22 07:42 AM ET
If UW/WSU and Ore/OSU have to come together...
Old Line Hokie • 07/06/22 09:51 AM ET
maybe true
Vippie1 • 07/06/22 11:21 AM ET
I could see GT in the BIG before Pitt! BIG already has Penn State.
