I don’t know, I could see VA/NC becoming a peeing contest between the P2

I also contend that the B1G has a far greater need for east coast football strength than the SEC. Thus, FSU and Clemson to the B1G makes much more sense. Yes, UNC and UVa fit academically, but just check out the 5 east coast football schools if those two are added to the B1G: B1G East Division: Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers, North Carolina and UVA. That is horrible. A Big XII eastern division with VT, NC State, WVU, Louisville and Miami runs circles around that garbage. So…I see the B1G needing FSU and Clemson more and I see the SEC wanting to lock down VA/NC more.

Finebaum: SEC and B1G would look at UNC

Surprised by Stanford > Utah

LINKED Site Looks Like a SEC Hate Site

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
1947Sunbowl • 07/21/24 05:05 AM ET
Number 1, you have no knowledge of what is going on behind 'close doors'
manassashoo • 07/21/24 11:15 AM ET
Uva and VT are tied at the Hip in the Conference Realignment melee
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 ◄
