I believe all that is possible, but I know SEC show told them to call twice

Once when they were pursuing Texas A&M, and once right after they took Texas and Oklahoma. There is no speculation there. I do think that both Virginia Tech and Virginia Academic side struggle with going to the SEC because they get a lot of Northeastern High School students, and they have more sports than most if not all the SEC schools. I think if/when schools leave the ACC, they both prefer the B1G for those two reasons. I also think UNC and NCSU take less out of state High School students from up north, or at least they used to, so the Academic side is more open to the SEC.

No. Miami seems like an ideal fit for the Big Ten if/when they expand

Miami and FSU to get the B1G to 20 is a slam dunk**

Do you think the Sun Belt is a higher rated conference than C-USA or MAC?
VTHokie2000 • 06/25/25 09:07 AM ET
Yes I think the Sun Belt is a lower level SEC, I also think travel plays a
Stech • 06/25/25 09:12 AM ET
The Sun Belt may very well be a lower level SEC now. Would you say the MAC

saret • 06/24/25 10:58 AM ET
Ya, those six, plus most of the other 27 would have to agree. Good luck.
Truthahn • 06/25/25 09:06 AM ET
I never saw Miami to the B1G as imminent anyway.

I thought the B1X encouraged the AAU to bring in Miami (& ND)...
