The B12 would be the last option.

Why increase the travel cost 300% if you're receiving less money. Would feel different if we were located in Texas, but joining a conference with a center that's 1500 miles away is just not smart.

When did expansion stop being about football? I missed that if it happened.
Stech • 12/13/23 01:46 PM ET
When the expanders get/got all the football teams they think they need**
VTCALS72 • 12/13/23 04:52 PM ET
Show me the evidence of that please.**
Stech • 12/13/23 05:00 PM ET
Oh come on, there is no "evidence" on this either way
VTCALS72 • 12/13/23 05:14 PM ET
No evidence is the come on, where are you getting the basketball schools
Stech • 12/13/23 05:38 PM ET
Ok, you asked why I am saying that. So, you asked for my opinion.
VTCALS72 • 12/13/23 06:45 PM ET
It’s your opinion, I respect you for saying that. Thanks!**
Stech • 12/13/23 07:28 PM ET
That is what you asked for :-)
VTCALS72 • 12/13/23 08:04 PM ET
I don’t think th ACC GOR can’t be broken any time soon without the majority
Stech • 12/13/23 11:14 PM ET
I agree with this **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/14/23 08:58 AM ET
Evidently, VT isn't that big of prize for whatever reason. Partly due
reestuart • 12/13/23 02:49 PM ET
100% it is UNC, FSU and ND...
jesuisvtguy • 12/13/23 07:20 PM ET
Right now the money is in football ratings!! USC IMHO wanted UCLA , so B1G
Stech • 12/14/23 09:11 AM ET
This reminds me of fivethirtyeight.com analysis of B1G expansion candidates
tarheelblue • 12/13/23 07:32 PM ET
That seems fair, IMO.**
reestuart • 12/14/23 11:10 AM ET
This is totally wrong
Brother Griswold • 12/13/23 05:25 PM ET
I don't remember that at all. They wanted DC and NYC. They certainly
reestuart • 12/13/23 05:55 PM ET
They wanted UMD / UNC / UVa / GT
Brother Griswold • 12/13/23 08:13 PM ET
Your MD buddy is full of it.........
2hhoop3 • 12/13/23 11:28 PM ET
Hah - I said that they exploited UMDs financial status in my post
Brother Griswold • 12/14/23 06:58 AM ET
No you're....
2hhoop3 • 12/14/23 07:59 AM ET
So exactly how did it go down?
Brother Griswold • 12/14/23 08:30 AM ET
I have information.....
2hhoop3 • 12/14/23 09:12 AM ET
We agree that there was never an official
Brother Griswold • 12/14/23 09:31 AM ET
We will just.....
2hhoop3 • 12/14/23 09:57 AM ET
Your first paragraph nailed it
Brother Griswold • 12/14/23 10:44 AM ET
Were taking MD......
2hhoop3 • 12/14/23 11:50 AM ET
Who are you getting this from?**
Stech • 12/13/23 04:59 PM ET
Getting what? **
reestuart • 12/13/23 05:56 PM ET
Your statement that VT evidently isn’t a prize?**
Stech • 12/13/23 06:03 PM ET
well, it's not. It's not like VT is chopped liver, but neither the SEC
reestuart • 12/13/23 06:11 PM ET
Easy, this is a VT board. Other boards however, are talking about
Big12 guy • 12/13/23 06:30 PM ET
The B12 would be the last option. ◄
EDGEMAN • 12/14/23 06:57 AM ET
I agree with this, but we don't make the call, the networks do. **
Big12 guy • 12/14/23 09:11 AM ET
It didn't stop
Pylons • 12/13/23 02:00 PM ET
NCAA 💵 is spread amongst all divisions, it pales in comparison to 🏈 💵,
Stech • 12/13/23 02:32 PM ET
You asked when expansion stopped being about football
Pylons • 12/13/23 02:41 PM ET
It was a sarcastic question, sorry you missed that.**
Stech • 12/13/23 04:58 PM ET
Lol. Yet you responded to others seriously.
Pylons • 12/13/23 10:55 PM ET
Nope it was sarcasm, they got it and you didn’t, but you do know how to
