No one thinks that VT wants to be in the B12. If VT ends up in the B12, it

will be because it's the best option moving forward. As a fan, I want VT in the B12, but also Clemson, NCSU, Miami, Pitt, and a few others, but that is different from thinking that the B12 is better than the ACC. The ACC is a really good conference that seems to be being squeezed by ESPN, and maybe the ACC was too good of a conference, as they passed on WVU and other B12 teams when all of them would have taken an invite in a New York second when OU and Texas announced. Y'all didn't want WVU, UCF, or any other school that is currently in the B12. It seems to me, that like the PAC, you were king of the hill until the BIG and SEC media packages were announced. Now we have a strong B12.

Dook is a private school, just like WF**

Yes, but they will have some good not necessarily great football teams too.
