ND, Oregon, Washington and Stanford are next up for the B1G

I don’t see any East coast additions before those happen. ND, Seattle, Bay Area, Portland and the Oregon brand, and filling out the Pacific Coast are next. So if the B1G does go east coast, this discussion is moot because both P2 conferences end up going past 20 and VT and UVA are likely both going to get selected at that point If the B1G stays at 20, UNC is going to end up having to pick between UVA and the SEC because Miami, FSU and Clemson will be above UNC at that point. I don’t see UNC wanting to stick with UVA in the Big XII or basketball-centric ACC. In a way I could see the SEC and B1G fighting over the South Eastern Atlantic properties remaining and in a way I can see them stopping at 20 and ending it. The same way Virginia doesn’t have a pro team might end up manifesting itself in this new Power 2 model (MD is already in the B1G if you’re screaming about Washington/Baltimore Pro teams, which are not located in VA, no matter your thoughts on the Commanders)

UVA/VT an honest assessment
LocalExperts • 08/10/22 08:45 PM ET
Again, there is an answer to this
Vippie1 • 08/11/22 08:22 AM ET
What do you estimate as the VT - UVA fan percentages in VA?
EDGEMAN • 08/11/22 06:45 AM ET
there's no way it's 3:1. Maybe 3:2, but I'd say it's closer to even.**

WarHog38 • 08/10/22 09:38 PM ET

hokieZ71 • 08/10/22 10:37 PM ET

mrcaniac • 08/11/22 02:18 PM ET
That’s the other part of this
hokieZ71 • 08/11/22 06:52 AM ET
Allow me to suggest a killer reason for The SEC to add UNC/UVa.
33laszlo99 • 08/10/22 09:07 PM ET
Meh ... if BIG took Maryland and Rutgers, they'd take VT and NCSU if
HokieToph • 08/11/22 01:30 PM ET
This implies VT institution is inferior to UVA??? really???? really?**

UVA as an academic institution is elite.
hokieZ71 • 08/11/22 07:01 AM ET
"Brand on brand" match ups describes The SEC's stated strategy.

hokieZ71 • 08/11/22 09:05 AM ET
But
MrFantastic! • 08/11/22 06:15 AM ET
I suspect the BIG has various pairs in mind
HokieAl • 08/10/22 10:36 PM ET
The B1G doesn't need UNC/UVA to get a foot in the door.
hokieZ71 • 08/10/22 09:16 PM ET
You may be right Z, but those two academic plums are the real prize.**
33laszlo99 • 08/10/22 09:25 PM ET
Academics. Well, gimme Duke and Stanford then. Way better than UVA/UNC.
hokieZ71 • 08/10/22 09:46 PM ET
You don't think I know that provide a reason for UNC/UVA to want to go to
LocalExperts • 08/10/22 09:11 PM ET
Got it...
33laszlo99 • 08/10/22 09:31 PM ET

LocalExperts • 08/10/22 09:10 PM ET
They desire an association with like minded institutions.
