The Augusta free press says....
HokiePail • 05/21/23 09:21 PM ET
Finebaum saying SEC doesn't need FSU and Clemson
mrcaniac • 05/22/23 12:33 PM ET
The “problem” is no ACC programs/schools are great fits in SEC or B1G
marcbvtgm • 05/23/23 11:21 AM ET
After the OU/UT and USC/UCLA scoops, only UNC seems to have the obvious
TDVick • 05/29/23 04:58 PM ET
Last year Braden Gall, out of Nashville, had a vidcast with some other...
hokieball • 05/22/23 05:22 PM ET
VT, UVa, UNC and NCSt are in a good spot. Both the SEC and B1G should want
Maroon Baboon • 05/23/23 10:28 AM ET
Probably right.
RJHokie • 05/23/23 10:43 AM ET
interesting...
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 01:08 PM ET
If the B1G could go right down the coast and get a school in each state,
Maroon Baboon • 05/23/23 10:45 AM ET
ESPN won't pay for that.
HOO86 • 05/22/23 11:00 AM ET
Better match ups might move the needle for ESPN though. **
jmanatVT • 05/23/23 09:35 AM ET
I could possibly see a scenario where the SEC takes UVa and UNC
Millpoint • 05/22/23 12:13 PM ET
Uva provides football value in what way?**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/22/23 09:00 PM ET
When did the metric change from football audience gained?
Stech • 05/22/23 12:54 PM ET
Another good reason for SEC to take all
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 01:10 PM ET
Yeah, it would be fun to have the Mag 7 in the SEC, but if they double the
Stech • 05/22/23 01:16 PM ET
This is the answer - and it's the answer for the 12 and PAC as well**
Big12 guy • 05/22/23 01:48 PM ET
Agree....**
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 01:22 PM ET
If some of the Acc schools go to the Big 10
HokiePail • 05/22/23 11:15 AM ET
If that's the case, they'd pay them in the ACC.
HOO86 • 05/22/23 11:20 AM ET
If ESPN doesn't want to pay the Acc...
HokiePail • 05/22/23 11:53 AM ET
ESPN may not want to pay the other schools.**
RJHokie • 05/22/23 11:50 AM ET
So if ESPN doubles the Mag 7, and cuts the other 7, how much is saved?**
Stech • 05/22/23 01:00 PM ET
It’s not how much is saved as how much is gained.
RJHokie • 05/22/23 01:19 PM ET
True, but man the legalities and bad PR might nullify that. Like I said
Stech • 05/22/23 01:24 PM ET
Doesn’t seem like SEC fans want any ACC schools let alone 7 or 8 more**
WBGV • 05/22/23 07:34 AM ET
But SEC leadership is asking itself, how many of those fans will they lose
jmanatVT • 05/22/23 08:41 AM ET
SEC does not desire WVU. **
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 08:29 AM ET
And if the SEC takes UVa
Millpoint • 05/22/23 09:52 AM ET
LOL UVa will NEVER be in the SEC! Unless they want those national
ancient alien 2018 • 05/22/23 09:03 PM ET
Not per that article,. **
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 10:47 AM ET
No way SEC takes that many ACC teams
Millpoint • 05/22/23 11:54 AM ET
Well of course if WVU one of the crew. It'd be worth twice as much **
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 11:57 AM ET
No it wouldn't**
Millpoint • 05/22/23 12:29 PM ET
Not adding WVU was a big mistake by the ACC, in my opinion. Very short
133193Hokie • 05/22/23 08:41 AM ET
I think with the benefit.....
2hhoop3 • 05/22/23 01:06 PM ET
The ACC would be in no better position with WVU - and arguably worse.
marcbvtgm • 05/22/23 10:51 AM ET
Yea - who in their right college football mind would prefer to watch
133193Hokie • 05/22/23 11:46 AM ET
I'm sure a lot of Hokies feel the same**
Millpoint • 05/22/23 09:50 AM ET
I know a lot of them, and they overwhelmingly want them in the ACC.**
Stech • 05/22/23 12:57 PM ET
I am afraid the ACC has allowed things to go to far.
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 01:06 PM ET
That’s worse than what they have by far IMHO.**
Stech • 05/22/23 01:08 PM ET
Agree, dumb move by ACC.
mancunian • 05/22/23 09:11 AM ET
If I remember correctly, Miami was insisting on BC being included
HokieNoVA • 05/22/23 09:37 AM ET
It seems like Swofford's expansion plan was centered on luring ND with BC,
TDVick • 05/25/23 02:35 AM ET
You don’t understand it because you’re looking at it as VT football fan.**
marcbvtgm • 05/24/23 04:21 PM ET
Not a load of crap. 30% of Miami students are from NE,
Atlee Hokie • 05/22/23 12:17 PM ET
And JS should have JUST SAID NO. What else was Miami going to do?
133193Hokie • 05/22/23 10:06 AM ET
Swofford lusted after Miami so much he was willing to take ...
Atlee Hokie • 05/22/23 02:41 PM ET
swofford is like the jelly of the month club.
LonghornHokie • 05/22/23 03:24 PM ET
I think you miss the reality of 2002/03
VTCALS72 • 05/22/23 12:06 PM ET
The SEC was not taking Miami and/or FSU at that time. At that time the SEC
133193Hokie • 05/22/23 12:40 PM ET
don't remember it like that at all.
VTCALS72 • 05/22/23 12:56 PM ET
I think you're forgetting about the mighty Boston TV market and BC's place
HokieNoVA • 05/22/23 10:20 AM ET
Very true ;-)**
133193Hokie • 05/22/23 10:41 AM ET
Yes Donna Shalala** ◄
Millpoint • 05/22/23 09:53 AM ET
Well, it’s basically the truth. A lot of Miami’s students are from the NE.
RJHokie • 05/22/23 09:49 AM ET
I still can't believe UNC got away with creating a fake major
mancunian • 05/22/23 10:00 AM ET
That's how I remember it too...
mancunian • 05/22/23 09:44 AM ET
Do you have facts to back that up, or is this just your WVU opinion?**
Stech • 05/22/23 08:25 AM ET
Fan opinion is totally irrelevant to this whole process.
mancunian • 05/22/23 08:31 AM ET
You must talk to different B1G fans than me.**
marcbvtgm • 05/22/23 10:52 AM ET
I agree, but I've had a lot of SEC fan interaction & it's all been join us!
Stech • 05/22/23 08:53 AM ET
That’s the Clay Travis take from last summer.
hokieZ71 • 05/21/23 10:05 PM ET
GT hasn’t declared . Louisville has. **
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 05:45 AM ET
Wasn’t the Louisville tweet about the Big 12?**
Stech • 05/22/23 08:27 AM ET
That's the internet rumor I saw.
hokieball • 05/22/23 08:37 AM ET
But GT was in Clay Travis’ take last summer. All I meant by that**
hokieZ71 • 05/22/23 07:09 AM ET
In 2023 what reasons are there for the SEC to add teams, especially those?
VTCALS72 • 05/21/23 10:03 PM ET
The only place......
2hhoop3 • 05/21/23 10:32 PM ET
IMHO at this point
VTCALS72 • 05/22/23 08:27 AM ET
At the end of the day.......
2hhoop3 • 05/22/23 09:33 AM ET
Nobody said "replace."
VTCALS72 • 05/22/23 11:59 AM ET
The people......
2hhoop3 • 05/22/23 12:08 PM ET
The "eyeballs associated with"
VTCALS72 • 05/22/23 12:18 PM ET
Never said otherwise......
2hhoop3 • 05/22/23 12:27 PM ET
Perpetuity is not on the table right now.
VTCALS72 • 05/22/23 12:36 PM ET
Relevance is on the table.....
2hhoop3 • 05/22/23 12:43 PM ET
some where way down the road yes. But the BIG is not in danger of that
VTCALS72 • 05/22/23 02:15 PM ET
We have a.....
2hhoop3 • 05/22/23 03:47 PM ET
That’s exactly it.**
hokieZ71 • 05/21/23 10:27 PM ET
I would love to see that happen.**
tarheelblue • 05/21/23 09:35 PM ET
I see the MAG 7 and OK State. That gets SEC to 24. **
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 06:14 AM ET
The SEC could want Kansas also.
hokieZ71 • 05/22/23 07:11 AM ET
KU and Mizzou are rivals also**
MrFantastic! • 05/22/23 07:22 AM ET
Same. Best case scenario, in my opinion.**
