Yes. Technically, we rebuked them in 2011. Here's the problem. We could

have easily gotten Missouri's spot in 2011. The SEC leaked it to an Atlanta radio station to try to make it happen. A&M viewed us as the perfect complement to their inclusion and no one really wanted Missouri. They just had to add someone to balance the numbers. ** Edited by TDVick at 2/5/2024, 11:33:15 PM

SEC & Big10 starting the process. What do you think this means?**
bburgnative • 02/02/24 12:54 PM ET
Greg Sankey is saying it was his idea.
HOO86 • 02/07/24 06:24 PM ET
Next step in the process that many have seen for years, but others refuse
133193Hokie • 02/04/24 10:23 AM ET
Means we will be left in a Metro-like ACC. **
3TechFanz • 02/04/24 08:35 AM ET
Probably deciding how to slice up the ACC
EDGEMAN • 02/03/24 10:31 PM ET
They don’t need to do a thing to the ACC.**
hokieZ71 • 02/04/24 07:37 PM ET
They are deciding who takes what schools**
EDGEMAN • 02/04/24 08:33 PM ET
Precisely the process that is involved !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 02/04/24 08:36 PM ET
it means that nothing will change unless those two are on board w/ it
daveinop • 02/03/24 01:23 PM ET
B1G-SEC will have 34 schools. XII-ACC will have 33 + ND
obguthr • 02/03/24 08:11 AM ET
Voting advantage won't matter. The SEC and B1G will determine if anyone

the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact of 1939 is what I was thinking.

Note to SEC
obguthr • 02/02/24 03:33 PM ET
The SEC is already in bed with Texas.**
Maroon Baboon • 02/03/24 02:52 PM ET
What's the difference?
HokiesACC2004 • 02/03/24 07:57 AM ET
Could mean a variety of things.......

Sankey started the dominos that led to PAC12 demise
HOO86 • 02/03/24 02:06 PM ET
how far back to you want to go - the ACC caused the collapse of the BigE**
133193Hokie • 02/04/24 01:01 PM ET
The Big East didn't collapse. It's name is now The American.
HOO86 • 02/19/24 04:09 PM ET
The BE caused the collapse of the BE. Too married to basketball schools of

2hhoop3 • 02/03/24 12:00 AM ET
No doubt. I do think anti trust issues will rear its head
VTMONEY94 • 02/03/24 12:02 AM ET
Remember when the B1G/PAC/ACC excluded the B12 from "the alliance"?
Maroon Baboon • 02/02/24 05:00 PM ET
Or maybe the B12 was smart enough to not fall for it ….**
133193Hokie • 02/04/24 09:26 PM ET
I don't think they were. I just think the other three conferences were
Maroon Baboon • 02/04/24 10:10 PM ET
Yeah at a minimum at the kids table. but probably worse, no table at all.

The media folks do not want to negotiate 32 separate contracts with indy
33laszlo99 • 02/03/24 08:41 PM ET
All valid points......
2hhoop3 • 02/03/24 09:47 PM ET
Right, it will be self-selection. We may see this kind of decision in two

Ha ha, they have blue print of,
Stech • 02/02/24 04:10 PM ET
their #1 priority is to screw everyone not in the SEC or B1G
ren_hoek • 02/02/24 12:57 PM ET
How fun would it be for the SEC to grab PSU, OSU and Mich now.
Truthahn • 02/06/24 12:04 PM ET
Similar here. I know ESPN and Fox thinks I am just an outlier but
