scandals involving the men's basketball team and football team. But hey if you would rather have them in the ACC than a school that appears to be clean then knock yourself. WRT Penn State, I see their situation is as being different because State College is centrally located in the state when you factor in their fans who live in the neighboring states in all directions. Now if State College was located where Edinboro, Ohiopyle, Waynesboro, or Equinunk are located, then I might view the situation differently. Plus, State College is the flagship of the Penn State System which has a total of 20 campuses.

Horrible criteria, this is about football $$ & probably basketball money! -- Stech Aug 26, 2022 at 12:56 PM ET

So the flip side would be going to the SEC? -- hokieball Aug 25, 2022 at 03:03 PM ET

For SEC, I think VT is in the top 10 targets -- HokieAl Aug 25, 2022 at 04:43 PM ET

What move? Add another school with a small fanbase and no brand? ** -- IV_Hokie12 Aug 25, 2022 at 06:04 PM ET

The ACC's options are very limited. -- tarheelblue Aug 25, 2022 at 06:12 PM ET

I would focus on rivalries. -- HOO86 Aug 26, 2022 at 09:58 AM ET

Yes. The ACC’s goals are different from many of its schools. -- hokieZ71 Aug 25, 2022 at 06:52 PM ET

Yep. Playing for a distant third. That's what is has always been.** -- TDVick Aug 30, 2022 at 01:32 AM ET

Even a small move at this point would ensure #3 status -- Truthahn Aug 26, 2022 at 02:38 PM ET

If the ACC is going to expand into Texas, then wouldn't TCU or Houston -- VTHokie2000 Aug 26, 2022 at 02:51 PM ET

Baylor's and TCU's football stadium are both around 45K. I think Baylor's -- VTHokie2000 Aug 30, 2022 at 06:25 PM ET
