Happy Valley is in the center of the state, but it's the middle of nowhere

State College is bigger than Blacksburg, but it's still a college town and probably more isolated than B'burg (but does have a commercial airport)

Logistics is a BS self defeating argument...
Culpeper Hokie • 05/04/26 12:55 PM ET
You make a good argument, but why would a flight to FSU

Madison has a 9,000' runway too...you're not flying to MKE to get to UW

Logistics?**

Is VT different than PSU, Illinois or IU in this regard?**
VT ChemE 1986 • 05/04/26 02:27 PM ET
Yes, with PSU in this regard. Given that PSU has 10-14 satellite campuses

If the Big Ten doesn't think of it as the "middle of nowhere," then it does
VTHokie2000 • 05/04/26 07:57 PM ET
My comment had nothing to do with the Big Ten; just clarifying the reality
Pylons • 05/05/26 12:04 AM ET
The Big Ten cared enough to allow Penn State to join the conference instead
VTHokie2000 • 05/05/26 12:52 AM ET
Logic isn't your specialty I guess
Pylons • 05/05/26 01:20 PM ET
The Big Ten may or may not have cared when it came to Penn State.

easy to get to and from Blacksburg **

Who is the new President and AD? Did not hear the announcement.
pine52x • 05/04/26 08:06 AM ET
List who else is putting 250M into the program?
Stech • 05/04/26 12:22 PM ET
Their numbers are very impressive. But I agree VT has a zero chance.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/03/26 03:15 PM ET
You are right in that followers are important
lord4bid • 05/04/26 02:30 PM ET
I agree logistics has been a big issue for us for years and will continue
