This sort of makes sense how the horse trading gets resolved
TDVick • 08/15/24 06:42 PM ET
Sec taking three teams from North Carolina sounds absurd. Especially with
wwhokie1 • 08/15/24 02:38 PM ET
I disagree with you on this. Duke really isn't an NC team, the way I think
TDVick • 08/17/24 01:40 PM ET
I’m NOT saying this, I’m repeating what I heard, Duke it was said, is long
Stech • 08/15/24 08:37 PM ET
Just curious, where did you hear this?
mancunian • 08/15/24 12:36 PM ET
Sorry not going there, make up any answer you want, but I’m not going there**
Stech • 08/15/24 01:07 PM ET
So, General Y then...**
mancunian • 08/15/24 01:41 PM ET
Would be the final nail in my giving coffin….SEC or bust**
Fore_Hokies • 08/15/24 11:47 AM ET
We should be in the SEC. We have the gameday
VTCALS72 • 08/15/24 01:05 PM ET
You're still on the UVa-to-SEC train, eh? Keep up the entertaining work! :)**
NokieHokie • 08/15/24 03:33 PM ET
lolol Cals, everyone should look at your take of pre-buying NIL deals..
Brewing_Hokie • 08/15/24 03:20 PM ET
No its not a longshot, Uva to SEC is the longshot imo**
Hokie83 • 08/15/24 03:18 PM ET
I agree. SEC alum her. VT is a SEC experience / environment. UVA/UNC= NO**
olemisshokie4life • 08/15/24 05:22 PM ET
I would put the odds of this happing at less than 1%
WBGV • 08/15/24 11:13 AM ET
VT is very close to AAU Status and Big 10 is not the pipe dream you seem to
Hokie83 • 08/15/24 12:17 PM ET
Big 10 expansion candidates will magically achieve AAU the next few years.
HouClone • 08/15/24 03:19 PM ET
I think VT has a way better shot at Big Ten than all but a few
reestuart • 08/15/24 02:27 PM ET
Agree that either would be home-run. **
HokieDelNorte • 08/15/24 02:04 PM ET
What makes you think that either one of these things
WBGV • 08/15/24 12:40 PM ET
He and VTScoop are probably the most connected VT posters on the board.
Stech • 08/15/24 01:19 PM ET
There simply is no evidence that either school
WBGV • 08/15/24 01:52 PM ET
I agree you have no evidence, because you don’t know much about Va Tech
Stech • 08/16/24 08:20 AM ET
You could have used your post to enlighten others by providing some
WBGV • 08/16/24 05:57 PM ET
Back up your 1% claim 1st on VT to the AAU please! You started the VT dump! ◄
Stech • 08/16/24 06:29 PM ET
You misread my post - try again. **
WBGV • 08/16/24 07:15 PM ET
🔥**
Stech • 08/16/24 07:50 PM ET
You should refrain from mixing ups what posters say in a thread,
WBGV • 08/17/24 08:26 AM ET
Your statement is there for all to read, you constantly take subtle & not
Stech • 08/17/24 08:40 AM ET
Once again you labeled me as the fan of rival school only to diminish
WBGV • 08/17/24 11:29 AM ET
Yeah 1% chance for VT to get in the AAU or B10, but that’s not a shot.
Stech • 08/17/24 10:32 PM ET
I don’t want to beat a dead horse any longer, but my less than 1% chance
WBGV • 08/18/24 05:44 PM ET
Yeah you said 1% chance and then debated Hokie83 about it, that’s not
Stech • 08/18/24 07:38 PM ET
I have never been a proponent
WBGV • 08/19/24 01:22 AM ET
LOL you are describing yourself, not me. I have almost 18k likes, you 323.
Stech • 08/19/24 09:03 AM ET
That's enough, both of you. Stop. Right now.
Will StewartAdmin • 08/19/24 09:32 AM ET
Sorry. Will do.**
WBGV • 08/19/24 01:36 PM ET
The thread is getting really narrow on my phone. Thank you.**
TomTurkey • 08/19/24 09:40 AM ET
AAU isn't exactly secret
mrcaniac • 08/15/24 10:55 PM ET
AAU is not a secret, but the organization has all of the hallmarks
WBGV • 08/16/24 12:36 AM ET
As far as you saying
HouClone • 08/15/24 03:26 PM ET
I'm not doubting your expertise but
Vippie1 • 08/15/24 02:30 PM ET
I have few sources within VT that feels AAU Membership is getting closer
Hokie83 • 08/15/24 02:22 PM ET
From meetings I have at VT ,there is an organtized effort to get AAU
Gobbler95 • 08/15/24 05:34 PM ET
President Steger told me the same thing 11 years ago......
CrystalCoveHokie • 08/15/24 03:08 PM ET
Not Surprised, VT has added many more check marks needed for AAU since
Hokie83 • 08/15/24 03:13 PM ET
I don’t doubt that you have sources that are saying things about
WBGV • 08/15/24 02:52 PM ET
LOL you said no one knows, but you put it at 1%, you are just flaming it’s
Stech • 08/15/24 08:46 PM ET
I said that I put the odds of Hoo86 posting of happening at less than 1%.
WBGV • 08/16/24 07:10 PM ET
Its for sure a Cult Type Society but more is leaked to schools
Hokie83 • 08/15/24 03:00 PM ET
also VT leadership and faculty are getting appointed to national boards
1947Sunbowl • 08/15/24 01:51 PM ET
Don’t see any net gain for a conference to take 2 schools from any state….
CrystalCoveHokie • 08/15/24 10:37 AM ET
‘Net Gain’ through additions is gone. ‘End Game’ is what’s coming.
hokieZ71 • 08/15/24 06:39 PM ET
The SEC has built the most successful 🏈 Conference doing exactly that.
Stech • 08/15/24 01:06 PM ET
They have?
Pylons • 08/15/24 03:51 PM ET
4 states is 8 schools, 50% of all members, and the others are very close
Stech • 08/15/24 08:32 PM ET
Sure, but that's different from being "built on"
Pylons • 08/16/24 11:36 AM ET
Agree. I don’t think the networks would be willing to pay for new members
WBGV • 08/15/24 01:04 PM ET
Even for CA/TX/FL the case is kinda weak. Does the SEC really NEED
HokieNoVA • 08/15/24 11:12 AM ET
I listened to a podcast that had Brett McMurphy on it recently
Millpoint • 08/15/24 10:29 AM ET
“It’s not my proposal”, it’s something I heard, but I agree a lot is being
Stech • 08/15/24 01:11 PM ET
SEC would not leave state VA out**
MrFantastic! • 08/15/24 07:35 AM ET
The scenario being discussed is essentially the Big 10 and SEC
mancunian • 08/15/24 01:46 PM ET
AGAIN, I’m not saying this, but their point is 2 NC & Va schools are hooked
Stech • 08/15/24 08:18 AM ET
Didn't Take Oklahoma
WarHog38 • 08/17/24 03:24 AM ET
You realize I’m not saying this, but I am repeating what I heard? There are
Stech • 08/17/24 08:05 AM ET
I still think the SEC/B10 are going to call the states' bluff on that.
HokieNoVA • 08/15/24 11:21 AM ET
Wanting them hooked doesn't make it happen.**
Pylons • 08/15/24 10:36 AM ET
True, but it ups the chances, the legislative people in Raleigh have spoken
Stech • 08/15/24 01:26 PM ET
I doubt it ups the chances much
Pylons • 08/15/24 01:48 PM ET
Yeah they played no part in Virginia Tech in the ACC, no one can convince
Stech • 08/15/24 08:51 PM ET
I am totally convinced of that
Pylons • 08/16/24 11:32 AM ET
University operations are state agencies
1947Sunbowl • 08/15/24 02:55 PM ET
And none of that is meaningful leverage
Pylons • 08/15/24 03:14 PM ET
Merc you have.......
2hhoop3 • 08/15/24 03:07 PM ET
Ok**
MrFantastic! • 08/15/24 08:27 AM ET
Actually
dayooper • 08/15/24 12:01 AM ET
Miami excites you? In what way?
EDGEMAN • 08/15/24 06:06 AM ET
I wouldn't exactly call Miami "tiny."
Pylons • 08/15/24 01:00 PM ET
Yeah, they're one of a kind. Miami is likely on the short list for both
reestuart • 08/15/24 02:29 PM ET
Where did I say Miami excited me,
dayooper • 08/15/24 10:09 AM ET
I consider Miami to be a "smoke and mirrors" program
EDGEMAN • 08/15/24 12:04 PM ET
Texas A&M has entered the chat. **
Big12 guy • 08/15/24 12:08 PM ET
Sounds like somebody's wishful thinking.
El Paso Hokie • 08/14/24 11:51 PM ET
The SEC would be smart to grab all 8
Victor Tango • 08/14/24 10:18 PM ET
Sounds Like Something a Duke Fan Would Dream Up
WarHog38 • 08/14/24 10:17 PM ET
I for one would not want to see VT in the B1G. That conference is getting
VPI_1998 • 08/14/24 08:31 PM ET
If VPI_1998 is an indication of you grad date, you are but a boy.
Atlee Hokie • 08/14/24 10:52 PM ET
HA - I am definitely still "young" but getting older fast!**
VPI_1998 • 08/15/24 07:40 AM ET
Why would the exit fees get "settled"? And how?**
SpeakToDamien • 08/14/24 08:28 PM ET
I have always assumed both the B1G and SEC would want teams in Virginia and
seekoHoG • 08/14/24 07:45 PM ET
I wondered a few times if NC and VA would Get split in this.
hokieZ71 • 08/14/24 05:43 PM ET
Believable

Basketball 💵 is coming, that said I’m not stating this, I’m repeating what
Stech • 08/14/24 05:25 PM ET
The current basketball proposals.......
2hhoop3 • 08/14/24 08:36 PM ET
No I haven't from any reliable source. **
HOO86 • 08/14/24 04:40 PM ET
I’m not stating this, I’m just repeating what I heard. I was wondering if
Stech • 08/14/24 05:27 PM ET
I am a big SEC fan and hope VT=SEC someday. But the B1G would win this
133193Hokie • 08/14/24 04:37 PM ET
Penn St will finally share a league with Miami and FSU! Only took 40 years!**
BUGGZY • 08/14/24 04:25 PM ET
Could have been sooner had the ACC picked up the phone and called.**
reestuart • 08/14/24 04:34 PM ET
Edit: Ignore. Stupid post.
Will StewartAdmin • 08/15/24 01:52 PM ET
The ACC was a year late........
2hhoop3 • 08/14/24 07:37 PM ET
I'm not so sure.
HOO86 • 08/14/24 06:52 PM ET
Big Ten was certainly PSU’s preference, but they were having
reestuart • 08/14/24 08:08 PM ET
A few points to ponder...
DMaroonHokie • 08/14/24 04:00 PM ET
The answer to #2 is a hard no. Duke has poured major $$$ into facilities
HboroughHokie • 08/14/24 09:31 PM ET
Seems that's actually a "yes"
Pylons • 08/15/24 10:41 AM ET
AGAIN, I am just repeating what I heard, this is what I heard, not said.
Stech • 08/14/24 06:38 PM ET
I can't believe I am saying this but I think Duke may be of more value to
VPI_1998 • 08/14/24 08:24 PM ET
Miami and Virginia are both AAU accredited. FSU and VT are not.**
VTBoar • 08/14/24 03:28 PM ET
FWIW, that's not "accreditation." That's done by other bodies
Pylons • 08/15/24 10:34 AM ET
Okay, did Miami get in recently?**
Stech • 08/14/24 05:28 PM ET
Yes, see inside**
seekoHoG • 08/14/24 07:33 PM ET
Let's not call it an accreditation. **
obguthr • 08/14/24 05:21 PM ET
Sorry, missed this post before I made mine!**
Pylons • 08/15/24 10:35 AM ET
That's crushing for USC-E.**
