I do not believe that carries......

the weight you believe. How many state voters/taxpayers are neither uva or VT alums whose interest is solely what is best for the state and, indirectly, their own pocketbooks? 2 would be better than 1 but, 1 is better than none.

My guess is that UNC and UVa will be allowed to go to the B10, but not SEC

This is a no brainer for politicians. They did it last time
vtfaninnc • 02/20/24 08:01 PM ET
I know all of that.....
2hhoop3 • 02/20/24 08:16 PM ET
Ok, but
vtfaninnc • 02/20/24 08:41 PM ET
I do agree......
2hhoop3 • 02/20/24 08:54 PM ET
Yes
vtfaninnc • 02/21/24 04:49 PM ET
I think politicians will be a bigger player than you seem to think

Play along with my scenario
Vippie1 • 02/20/24 12:08 PM ET
Neither The SEC nor The B1G has an absolute need for that package or any
33laszlo99 • 02/20/24 07:13 PM ET
I don't think the B1G would take all 4 but SEC might
tarheelblue • 02/20/24 02:52 PM ET
1 important thing that many aren’t talking, both VA & NC are growing states
Stech • 02/20/24 01:44 PM ET
It may be the SECs best lineup of VT, NCSU and Clemson
VTCALS72 • 02/21/24 09:35 PM ET
People in the Big 10 and SEC offices are talking about it.**
vtfaninnc • 02/20/24 07:15 PM ET
Absolutely **
Stech • 02/20/24 11:26 PM ET
Tend to agree and think
Vippie1 • 02/20/24 02:25 PM ET
Good point.**
Stech • 02/20/24 03:15 PM ET
So is Az but that has not helped those (2) schools yet**
133193Hokie • 02/20/24 01:58 PM ET
The difference is states of VA and NC
Vippie1 • 02/20/24 05:18 PM ET
It’s growing, but VA & NC has a better time slots, east coast interest, DC

You're not playing along with my hypothetical
Vippie1 • 02/20/24 01:03 PM ET
TAMU didn't want Texas. What needle did that move?
VTCALS72 • 02/20/24 09:51 AM ET
Texas surprised schools, now Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina are together
Stech • 02/20/24 12:40 PM ET
I think there's serious diminishing returns on more $$ if you're a middling
HokieNoVA • 02/20/24 10:07 AM ET
FSU’s “Project Osceola” report
Victor Tango • 02/20/24 07:52 AM ET
Meaning FSU to SEC? This ACC implosion is a mere pass-through excercise
TDVick • 02/20/24 08:55 AM ET
FSU to big 12
MrFantastic! • 02/20/24 09:33 AM ET
All the rumors out there, they dont recognize the Commonwealth directive

You are not correct**
Hokie83 • 02/20/24 12:49 PM ET
Still waiting for his answer to my question below.**
Stech • 02/20/24 01:28 PM ET
So, do you think the (4) stick together? Or VT/UVA stick together and
133193Hokie • 02/20/24 01:08 PM ET
Maybe all 4 but Uva/VT at this point are together**

Key words......

No lax, wrestling or men's soccer in the SEC**
vtfaninnc • 02/20/24 08:22 PM ET
Thanks. Forgot about men’s soccer.**
RJHokie • 02/20/24 08:34 PM ET
I would imagine
MrFantastic! • 02/20/24 06:42 AM ET
I think you are right RE the Big 12
VTCALS72 • 02/20/24 10:01 AM ET
I think this depends on how many ACC teams actually leave
HokieNoVA • 02/20/24 10:54 AM ET
This will all come down to the media contract. No matter who is
Big12 guy • 02/20/24 10:19 AM ET
Give us th facts then please, what facts do you have 2 support your opinion**
Stech • 02/19/24 08:31 PM ET
This guy has good series of articles
vtfaninnc • 02/20/24 07:37 PM ET
I believe he omits the $10 million + that the ACCN generates
RJHokie • 02/20/24 08:40 PM ET
Not accurate........
2hhoop3 • 02/19/24 06:11 PM ET
Actually he his pretty much dead on correct about this.
Poultrygeist • 02/19/24 09:10 PM ET
One school in each of the P2 conferences would have to be acceptable.
Atlee Hokie • 02/20/24 09:41 PM ET
You do realize.....

2hhoop3 • 02/21/24 10:25 AM ET
The issues for VT are interesting in my opinion.
Poultrygeist • 02/20/24 10:39 AM ET
Lil disagree
MrFantastic! • 02/20/24 11:11 AM ET
Disagree?
Poultrygeist • 02/20/24 11:53 AM ET
I get your come backs.
MrFantastic! • 02/20/24 12:55 PM ET
The Virginia schools and the Carolina schools will go together
Poultrygeist • 02/19/24 09:12 PM ET
Both UNC and UVA are terrible cultural fits for the SEC
HokieNoVA • 02/19/24 05:53 PM ET
I think FSU=B1G and UNC=SEC. Guess we will see soon enough**
133193Hokie • 02/19/24 04:57 PM ET
This is what I expect too
obguthr • 02/19/24 07:11 PM ET
I'm not as sure as about ND and the B10.
Atlee Hokie • 02/20/24 10:01 PM ET
They could go to the Big East. They would have no problem
Big12 guy • 02/21/24 08:49 AM ET
ND was in the Big East previously, back when the other football ...
Atlee Hokie • 02/21/24 09:01 AM ET
ND will land on their feet - whether they stay in a new ACC, go
Big12 guy • 02/21/24 09:21 AM ET
Well, you're right about Notre Dame and The B1G, at least.**
33laszlo99 • 02/19/24 08:43 PM ET
ESPN probably wants UNC in the SEC more than FSU. VT to B1G chances?
Maroon Baboon • 02/19/24 04:55 PM ET
B1G, is okay with a school moving toward AAU, which Virginia Tech is from
Stech • 02/19/24 04:45 PM ET
If the 4 from NC & VA go to the SEC...

Not saying you’re wrong but I don’t think the $EC cares about academics. **
YardBird • 02/19/24 08:03 PM ET
Fans u are correct, University Presidents that vote on expansion Academics

If somebody has the authority to "allow" or not allow, why would
33laszlo99 • 02/19/24 04:37 PM ET
I'm not sure why FSU would be hot to trot for the SEC.
HOO86 • 02/19/24 04:26 PM ET
If FSU does get into the SEC their fans are in for a rude awakening
HokieNoVA • 02/19/24 05:50 PM ET
Speaking of an arrogant bunch, I'm waiting for UTex to arrive in the SEC.
Atlee Hokie • 02/20/24 10:09 PM ET
Bobby Bowden understood that, but he's faded from memory.
HOO86 • 02/19/24 07:00 PM ET
It's always made sense to me that UVa and UNC to the B1G
Millpoint • 02/19/24 04:24 PM ET
Well, SEC has always been more of a cheaters conference.
