We really should encourage GT to merge with Georgia State

They are less than two miles apart and the combo of both is gigantic, the largest in Georgia.

Would the Hokies be a good fit for the Big12?
JKHokie-RunFor32 • 07/29/23 09:50 AM ET
If VT ends up in the B12 we won't be alone.
Truthahn • 07/30/23 06:09 PM ET
All comes down to $ these days.
Full-Set and Moonshine • 07/30/23 11:14 AM ET
LOL**
Vippie1 • 07/30/23 11:03 AM ET
Wouldn't be my first or second choice **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/30/23 03:38 AM ET
Sounds like #TXtoVT LOL**
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/29/23 07:17 PM ET
More like #VTtoTX**
CrystalCoveHokie • 07/29/23 09:25 PM ET
Only if and after the ACC implodes. Near 2036. And even then, the BigXII
Maroon Baboon • 07/29/23 11:23 AM ET
Oregon & Washington will end up in the B1G.
Full-Set and Moonshine • 07/30/23 11:16 AM ET
People keep saying that. But if Oregon and Washington aren't acceptable
Maroon Baboon • 07/30/23 11:37 AM ET
This is the answer. **
Big12 guy • 07/30/23 06:53 PM ET
ABSOLUTELY NOT. VT would rather stay in the ACC than Big 12. case closed
Mercury • 07/29/23 11:19 AM ET
Whit would be involved…come on.**
JKHokie-RunFor32 • 07/29/23 11:47 AM ET
Im not saying that, but he would not be behind the scenes negotiator
Mercury • 07/29/23 04:30 PM ET
No one said anything about Whit doing anything unilaterally
Pylons • 07/29/23 07:04 PM ET
The SEC and BIG are here to stay. Everything else is a toss up. **
JKHokie-RunFor32 • 07/29/23 06:04 PM ET
It’s not the best fit IMO but not bad - especially if B12 includes VT WVU
Hokie12thman • 07/29/23 11:19 AM ET
The Big 12 of today is still morphing into what it will be.
Marooned • 07/29/23 12:58 PM ET
If Mexico TV proves to be profitable, I'd be surprised.
Truthahn • 07/30/23 06:12 PM ET
Let’s be honest. Brett Yormark isn’t long for the Big XII.
hokieZ71 • 07/29/23 09:35 PM ET
I agree. But I think some of their adds have been suspect WRT football.
Maroon Baboon • 07/29/23 01:45 PM ET
I’d watch UCF over Colo. jmo but UCF is getting bigger than Colo. ever will**
cricket77 • 07/29/23 04:32 PM ET
Not sure why BYU or Colorado are "great"
Pylons • 07/29/23 02:43 PM ET
I think you might.....
2hhoop3 • 07/29/23 02:38 PM ET
I thought UCF has really been growing as a university/enrollment. I'm not
132863Hokie • 07/29/23 01:56 PM ET
Second largest university in the country by enrollment
VPI_1998 • 07/29/23 08:37 PM ET
They’re huge
Marooned • 07/29/23 05:37 PM ET
We really should encourage GT to merge with Georgia State ◄
Truthahn • 07/30/23 06:16 PM ET
Won’t happen.
RJHokie • 07/30/23 06:29 PM ET
Yormark deserves props......
2hhoop3 • 07/29/23 01:05 PM ET
Not no, but heck no!
EDGEMAN • 07/29/23 10:25 AM ET
Hokies are best aligned with UVA, NC State and UNC
hokieZ71 • 07/29/23 10:09 AM ET
I approve this message **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/30/23 03:40 AM ET
Any ideas on what these four schools are doing in the background?**
132863Hokie • 07/29/23 10:49 AM ET
Nope. But their inclusion in this Mag7 group isn’t by mistake.
hokieZ71 • 07/29/23 12:08 PM ET
Thanks. It makes sense to me that way too. Not just on the athletic side
132863Hokie • 07/29/23 12:59 PM ET
Research partnerships have nothing to do with athletic conferences**
Pylons • 07/29/23 04:05 PM ET
Has a school ever moved to an academically inferior conference of schools?**
hokieZ71 • 07/29/23 05:20 PM ET
Move from any conference to the SEC and you'll see it**
VPI_1998 • 07/30/23 09:14 AM ET
But in the last 40 yrs, the SEC has only added from the Big XII/SWC, right?**
hokieZ71 • 07/30/23 09:21 AM ET
Technically yes, not counting South Carolina as an Indy/Metro
VPI_1998 • 07/30/23 09:29 AM ET
I know. They’re about to get a few more in the next decade or so.**
hokieZ71 • 07/30/23 09:44 AM ET
Colorado just did**
LeadingEdge • 07/29/23 08:14 PM ET
These decisions are ultimately made by the Presidents and Board.
132863Hokie • 07/29/23 06:59 PM ET
Research or other academic partnerships
Pylons • 07/29/23 09:41 PM ET
I don't know. It's a rather meaningless question.
Pylons • 07/29/23 06:06 PM ET
That wasn’t my question. Which you failed to answer**
hokieZ71 • 07/29/23 08:47 PM ET
Texas and Oklahoma to SEC
Pylons • 07/29/23 09:36 PM ET
Yeah…this is news to me. **
