A lot of VT research $$$ is agricultural.

Agricultural doesn't count with AAU.

Why FSU (and Clemson) was looking at the B10 (and not the SEC)
RandomAsianGuy • 12/15/24 02:02 PM ET
If a P2 League ever comes to fruition, then it may not matter what
VTHokie2000 • 12/17/24 03:57 PM ET
The Big 10 has been pretty consistent that they want AAU schools only
Sunsetunderground • 12/16/24 12:02 PM ET
0 chance BIG said no to ND (before '23), UGA, Bama etc if they asked**
Athens • 12/19/24 08:44 PM ET
Yes. And there are good options available for the B1G that are AAU.
HOO86 • 12/16/24 07:22 PM ET
It will be about the money. FSU might not be a "good partner." But did
Maroon Baboon • 12/16/24 02:13 PM ET
I just don't see FSU as a cultural fit at all. If they want in Florida
Sunsetunderground • 12/17/24 12:18 AM ET
The BIG vetted 10 different schools for inclusion, KU was one of them,
Big12 guy • 12/16/24 12:34 PM ET
Kansas would be a logical P2 target.**
mancunian • 12/16/24 02:49 PM ET
There is a lot I don’t understand about KU and AAU…
lawhokie • 12/16/24 08:20 PM ET
Thinking solely about athletics.

Crippling Va Tech & Southwest Va don’t have Law School, so little influence
Stech • 12/16/24 09:02 PM ET
How many law schools..........
2hhoop3 • 12/16/24 09:17 PM ET
How many law schools in the Ivy League? Less than you probably think.**
techcutter • 12/19/24 12:48 PM ET
How many Ivy League.....
2hhoop3 • 12/19/24 01:15 PM ET
Actually, 6 (none at Brown or Princeton). Most people assume all 8 have

Fantastic detail, I have never seen, today we need both highways. Va Tech
Stech • 12/17/24 11:02 AM ET
No need to apologize......
2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 09:47 AM ET
Good response, truthfully I am often not realistic, but I do unrealistic
Stech • 12/17/24 10:34 AM ET
I am not saying it is a bad idea .......
2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 11:10 AM ET
We could simply buy a law school and slap a VT sign up
lawhokie • 12/17/24 08:39 AM ET
How did that work?.....
2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 10:01 AM ET
Not sure on details. I believe it was late 1990s
lawhokie • 12/17/24 02:05 PM ET
Thanks for the reply......
2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 02:14 PM ET
No idea about need. Explain to me the need…
lawhokie • 12/17/24 02:58 PM ET
Correct......

2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 03:23 PM ET
I don’t even understand your question.
lawhokie • 12/18/24 08:09 AM ET
The question was simple.......
2hhoop3 • 12/18/24 09:35 AM ET
Oh, I believe PSU bought Dickinson to satisfy the Big Ten**
lawhokie • 12/18/24 06:06 PM ET
Was that an AAU......
2hhoop3 • 12/18/24 07:51 PM ET
The Medical school of Ohio merged with the University
Big12 guy • 12/17/24 02:54 PM ET
VT already acquired Carilion. I believe it was a private-public partnership
lawhokie • 12/18/24 06:16 PM ET
What about the one out in SW Virginia?**
Atlee Hokie • 12/19/24 03:13 AM ET
Sure, why not? Applicants and LSAT scores will jump immediately **
lawhokie • 12/20/24 09:10 PM ET
Well, there is this in Grundy…..**
RJHokie • 12/16/24 09:08 PM ET
AAU tends to give the research dollars to medical schools. **
Big12 guy • 12/16/24 09:01 PM ET
But VT’s R&D expenditures are 1/3 larger
lawhokie • 12/17/24 08:37 AM ET
Maybe, but KU became AAU in 1908. Lot's of history there, and that

I guess they never got hungry.**
IB4TECH • 12/20/24 09:55 AM ET
They are building a new stadium, so they did listen. **

B1G would increase subscribers n Florida (*SC, NC, Ga) w/Clemson, & Va & NC

The way I see the expansion target list is as follows:

SEC doesn't need them **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/15/24 08:26 PM ET
Who said the SEC would take FSU & Clemson before UNC? I can’t find the post
Stech • 12/15/24 07:14 PM ET
FWIW I live in Kissimmee Fl and have the B1G network.
seekoHoG • 12/15/24 04:33 PM ET
Yeah, BTN is available everywhere. Way too many snowbirds in the south
reestuart • 12/16/24 11:41 AM ET
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it isn't just if the network is available.

I just hope the ACCN is on Neuralink.
Truthahn • 12/16/24 01:20 PM ET
The only thing "traditional cable" needs to sell is broadband access
EDGEMAN • 12/16/24 07:58 AM ET
I think BTN is available on most standard sports packages...
