FWIW I see just as many WVU, Penn St, and Tenn alumni/fans driving around

NOVA as I do VT and UVA alumni/fans. Heck if you patrolled I-81 South on Saturday when Tenn has a home game, then you should notice a significant influx of traffic because of all the people headed to Knoxville. Given that we live in a mobile society and the current trend is that more people are moving from the North to the South, don't be surprise if VT and UVA don't have the same level of dominance within the Commonwealth as what you think currently exists.

How is this for a wild conspiracy theory
ArmelHokie • 03/12/25 07:46 PM ET
We are so close to AAU status now. If the SEC took the Hoos

UNC, UVa and the P2.
Maroon Baboon • 03/12/25 08:07 PM ET
This UVa and UNC Siamese twins scenario is nonsense! Living in NC, I can
ancient alien 2018 • 03/15/25 12:37 AM ET
Certain officials in NC said that UNC and NCSU are tied.

"VT's academic profile is better than some B1G schools."
pine52x • 03/14/25 07:14 PM ET
That does not really matter in this realignment.
VTCALS72 • 03/15/25 08:53 AM ET
Acceptance rates for one.
Maroon Baboon • 03/14/25 09:35 PM ET
Given the cuts that are going on in the federal government now and the
VTHokie2000 • 03/15/25 01:00 PM ET
I have a hard time believing both the SEC and BIG don't both want to be in
Sunsetunderground • 03/12/25 10:29 PM ET
Sadly they really don't need a school in VA.
VTCALS72 • 03/13/25 08:23 PM ET
I disagree
cvillehokie92 • 03/14/25 05:45 PM ET
UNC very much has been the home team, Bill Dooley built UNC on VA players

VTHokie2000 • 03/14/25 06:20 PM ET
recent NCAA polls say otherwise.**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/15/25 12:58 AM ET
You make a fair point and I have seen some of those polls. I will say that
VTHokie2000 • 03/15/25 10:55 AM ET
Maybe. But once Texas and OU got scooped up, most schools are dilutive.
TDVick • 03/13/25 09:28 AM ET
I think there's ND, a huge gap, UNC, and then the rest. I don't really
reestuart • 03/13/25 11:46 AM ET
Maybe, but its a luxury. They certainly don't need either state
HokieNoVA • 03/13/25 09:20 AM ET
The BIG is dying to get in the south. The SEC wants to get into NC and VA
Sunsetunderground • 03/13/25 12:36 PM ET
I've not seen any evidence that they are "dying" to get into the south.
reestuart • 03/13/25 02:38 PM ET
If you spend time in Charlotte, there are Ohio State and Penn
Big12 guy • 03/13/25 08:08 PM ET
Yeah, but they get that anyway. **
reestuart • 03/14/25 08:18 AM ET
They haven't yet because no one was previously willing to leave the ACC
Sunsetunderground • 03/13/25 02:55 PM ET
I doubt UVa is anywhere on their radar. Why do they want them?
reestuart • 03/13/25 03:01 PM ET
B1G took UMD to try and weaken ACC and snap up
Brother Griswold • 03/13/25 07:45 PM ET
Issue is they add no money at all. They have enough schools to fill
reestuart • 03/14/25 08:17 AM ET
I’m not sure anyone outside of ND and maybe UNC
Brother Griswold • 03/14/25 02:00 PM ET
TV will make the decisions, if not Stanford would already be in the B1G
Red Hokie • 03/14/25 06:47 AM ET
You could say the same thing about Maryland
Sunsetunderground • 03/13/25 03:55 PM ET
Maryland got them into DC when that was important. They got the money
reestuart • 03/13/25 04:03 PM ET
I'm not sure either one of them cares about Virginia.**
reestuart • 03/13/25 08:31 AM ET
Taking this further, let's say the SEC somehow gets UNC without having to
Maroon Baboon • 03/12/25 10:33 PM ET
The BIG has tried to pry UVA away since they targeted Maryland
Sunsetunderground • 03/13/25 01:07 PM ET
I know they tried in the past to get UVa in the past (when they took UMd),
Maroon Baboon • 03/13/25 03:47 PM ET
Although Dook is a more valuable brand,
