Correct. Bonus points if you name Bowdoin's mascot without looking.

The flavor of the day seems to be ACC kicking out members to maximize per
vtox1 • 05/20/24 09:50 PM ET
The very idea of VT being on board with this would be deeply troubling if
TVLander • 05/21/24 01:11 PM ET
VCU, not ODU, was kicked out of Metro with us.**
Atlee Hokie • 05/21/24 09:22 PM ET
The VA Attorney General was going to sue Loserville and the Metro.
Atlee Hokie • 05/22/24 03:34 PM ET
Someone posted earlier that VT did not support kicking Temple out of BE.**

I don’t see why I’m supposed to care about Wake, BC, et al. athletics…
lawhokie • 05/21/24 06:56 PM ET
VT has always been above board regarding treatment of conference mates

And that is why we are set up to rolled by UNC once again, but go pin your

Where do you think we really have the power not to be rolled by UNC

We can spend the money !
VPI 1924 • 05/21/24 05:35 PM ET
I have to laugh when the Metro gets brought up. It was good for VT

Here’s the WIKI info on the conference.

VPI 1924 • 05/21/24 04:52 PM ET
I tend to agree with you. But there is one difference in this case.
wwhokie1 • 05/21/24 03:35 PM ET
You might be right........
2hhoop3 • 05/21/24 04:03 PM ET
He did have a good point you did not touch on. Eliminate the GOR,

That would be the bold move if the Mag 7 is real, but the problem with that

Hmmm, so you’re suggesting that the BAACC is timed for that window then

Wouldn't that be their problem? If the mag 7

I think the point being made regarding GOR in this discussion is that

Why would any conference......
2hhoop3 • 05/22/24 01:01 AM ET
Why would they. The assumption was schools were facing being voted out of
wwhokie1 • 05/22/24 11:05 AM ET
Do you think....
2hhoop3 • 05/22/24 11:42 AM ET
The likelihood of being voted out is irrelevant. The discussion assumed

Fair enough.......

It’s an ugly process. Look what happened
mancunian • 05/21/24 04:23 PM ET
Yes!**
cvillehokie92 • 05/21/24 02:46 PM ET
I thought Temple left the BE on their own.**
Oscar the American • 05/21/24 02:06 PM ET
Nope, they were kicked out. **
RJHokie • 05/21/24 02:10 PM ET
Temple is the only member with the distinction of being kicked out twice.
VTHokie2000 • 05/21/24 05:17 PM ET
VT was the only NO vote on the Temple Big East expulsion IIRC.**
Maroon Baboon • 05/21/24 02:05 PM ET
Temple went 14-81 in the BE and didn’t meet attendance goals
HokieAl • 05/21/24 01:50 PM ET
Temple was in the BE football only
PadrosWindup • 05/21/24 02:16 PM ET
Yeah I don’t know why I added that part. I knew they were football only
HokieAl • 05/21/24 04:30 PM ET
I always had a soft spot for Temple until that infamous game

What game? Didn’t happen**

Hated playing them in basketball. That match-up zone they played gave us

There is no such thing as gentlemen.**
NokieHokie • 05/21/24 01:29 PM ET
Why not base conference distribution on home game attendance?
lawhokie • 05/21/24 10:32 AM ET
I think any uneven revenue.......
2hhoop3 • 05/21/24 01:32 PM ET
Either it works toward parity, or it would be doomed. **

If that is your position......

2hhoop3 • 05/21/24 03:15 PM ET
They seem to have preserved their monopoly (money, exposure, dominance). **
Big12 guy • 05/21/24 03:26 PM ET
If it takes a 75% vote, you won't be able to expel more than three.
wwhokie1 • 05/21/24 09:37 AM ET
.75 vote does not include member being expelled.**
vtox1 • 05/21/24 09:39 AM ET
You might be right, but that would make no sense to me.

Be very careful what you ask for The scenario setting up just might

Northwestern has set a standard that many schools may not wish to match.

It's based on a few things.

Miami recently reported raising $26 million through its athletic office
lawhokie • 05/21/24 10:50 AM ET
Duke reported spending $82 million on athletics in 2020
lawhokie • 05/21/24 10:25 AM ET
Does that come into play?

Not trying to be negative at all, just the contrary. The privates
Big12 guy • 05/21/24 08:54 AM ET
A strange analysis I have to say. All of the money directed to athletics…
lawhokie • 05/21/24 10:07 AM ET
For other sports yes.
MrFantastic! • 05/21/24 09:08 AM ET
UVA and GT are both public. They will have the same constraints
Big12 guy • 05/21/24 09:30 AM ET
No, that’s a fallacious argument.
