Exactly almost 45 million, and a TV network, I’m not sure what will happen

to the ACC, but maybe the biggest under dog in possibly College Football history, Virginia Tech if you look where Beamerball started, will not stop fighting! Yep we are Hokies, but we are the Fighting Gobblers forever too, whether ESPN or the SEC chooses to acknowledge that. ** Edited by Stech at 7/28/2024, 8:39:51 PM

They have to because the Alabama educational system sucks big time.

No, that's wrong. The presidents like to be associated with elite schools**

Which doesn't mean conference affiliation impacts

VTCALS72 • 07/27/24 11:48 AM ET
exactly that is why UVA and VT are intrigued with Big 10

Pylons • 07/27/24 01:58 PM ET
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and STATE UNIVERSITY 🦃. And more...
Maroon Baboon • 07/26/24 09:24 PM ET
I think he meant to say 'flagship' university instead of state university.
manassashoo • 07/27/24 09:27 AM ET
You would think. But the writer should have indicated that in the article.
