Maryland got them into DC when that was important. They got the money

they wanted from subscribers. Maryland paid off plenty. They never had to win a game or actually get any TV numbers in DC.

How is this for a wild conspiracy theory
ArmelHokie • 03/12/25 07:46 PM ET
We are so close to AAU status now. If the SEC took the Hoos

Do not buy that........

UNC, UVa and the P2.
Maroon Baboon • 03/12/25 08:07 PM ET
This UVa and UNC Siamese twins scenario is nonsense! Living in NC, I can

Certain officials in NC said that UNC and NCSU are tied.

"VT's academic profile is better than some B1G schools."
pine52x • 03/14/25 07:14 PM ET
That does not really matter in this realignment.
VTCALS72 • 03/15/25 08:53 AM ET
Acceptance rates for one.
Maroon Baboon • 03/14/25 09:35 PM ET
Given the cuts that are going on in the federal government now and the
VTHokie2000 • 03/15/25 01:00 PM ET
I have a hard time believing both the SEC and BIG don't both want to be in
Sunsetunderground • 03/12/25 10:29 PM ET
Sadly they really don't need a school in VA.
VTCALS72 • 03/13/25 08:23 PM ET
I disagree
cvillehokie92 • 03/14/25 05:45 PM ET
UNC very much has been the home team, Bill Dooley built UNC on VA players
VTCALS72 • 03/14/25 08:44 PM ET
FWIW I see just as many WVU, Penn St, and Tenn alumni/fans driving around
VTHokie2000 • 03/14/25 06:20 PM ET
recent NCAA polls say otherwise.**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/15/25 12:58 AM ET
You make a fair point and I have seen some of those polls. I will say that
VTHokie2000 • 03/15/25 10:55 AM ET
Maybe. But once Texas and OU got scooped up, most schools are dilutive.
TDVick • 03/13/25 09:28 AM ET
I think there's ND, a huge gap, UNC, and then the rest. I don't really
reestuart • 03/13/25 11:46 AM ET
Maybe, but its a luxury. They certainly don't need either state
HokieNoVA • 03/13/25 09:20 AM ET
The BIG is dying to get in the south. The SEC wants to get into NC and VA
Sunsetunderground • 03/13/25 12:36 PM ET
I've not seen any evidence that they are "dying" to get into the south.
reestuart • 03/13/25 02:38 PM ET
If you spend time in Charlotte, there are Ohio State and Penn
Big12 guy • 03/13/25 08:08 PM ET
Yeah, but they get that anyway. **
reestuart • 03/14/25 08:18 AM ET
They haven't yet because no one was previously willing to leave the ACC
Sunsetunderground • 03/13/25 02:55 PM ET
I doubt UVa is anywhere on their radar. Why do they want them?
reestuart • 03/13/25 03:01 PM ET
B1G took UMD to try and weaken ACC and snap up
Brother Griswold • 03/13/25 07:45 PM ET
Issue is they add no money at all. They have enough schools to fill
reestuart • 03/14/25 08:17 AM ET
I’m not sure anyone outside of ND and maybe UNC
Brother Griswold • 03/14/25 02:00 PM ET
TV will make the decisions, if not Stanford would already be in the B1G
Red Hokie • 03/14/25 06:47 AM ET
You could say the same thing about Maryland
Sunsetunderground • 03/13/25 03:55 PM ET
Maryland got them into DC when that was important. They got the money ◄
reestuart • 03/13/25 04:03 PM ET
I'm not sure either one of them cares about Virginia.**
reestuart • 03/13/25 08:31 AM ET
Taking this further, let's say the SEC somehow gets UNC without having to
Maroon Baboon • 03/12/25 10:33 PM ET
The BIG has tried to pry UVA away since they targeted Maryland
Sunsetunderground • 03/13/25 01:07 PM ET
I know they tried in the past to get UVa in the past (when they took UMd),
Maroon Baboon • 03/13/25 03:47 PM ET
Although Dook is a more valuable brand,
