But in the last 40 yrs, the SEC has only added from the Big XII/SWC, right?

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. **
