Lifetime

We've been working on that for years. I asked Prez Steger about that.....

in 2013. He told me that VT had been working on it for years even then and expected to become AAU in about 5 years. So that would make it 2018. Since it didn't happen then and hasn't happened to date, I don't see it happening anytime soon. Maybe in next 10-20 years.

Hokie83 • 02/21/24 06:06 PM ET
Why do you think the ACC will be done?
VTCALS72 • 02/21/24 07:36 PM ET
If Fsu is able to jump I expect other schools to do the same as soon as
Hokie83 • 02/22/24 07:31 AM ET

Yep, everybody is guessing and the ground under those guesses shifts often**

What might a revenue sharing deal look like?**

Stech • 02/22/24 11:00 AM ET
Much Broader **
Hokie83 • 02/22/24 02:13 PM ET
I thought so after reading the ESPN & USA Today I posted above on CFP**
Stech • 02/22/24 03:45 PM ET
$300 Million........
2hhoop3 • 02/21/24 07:50 PM ET
And they are leaving because they think the value is > $572 Million
vtfaninnc • 02/22/24 09:58 PM ET
I do not think the ACC is worried......
2hhoop3 • 02/22/24 10:30 PM ET
Awesome
vtfaninnc • 02/26/24 07:25 PM ET
Would it surprise you that I disagree? Just reading tea leaves.
33laszlo99 • 02/21/24 09:40 PM ET
Care to actually put a number........

Hokie83 • 02/22/24 07:32 AM ET
I think $250-$350M. But even if it is $500M, it is a business deal/
133193Hokie • 02/22/24 08:15 AM ET
Feels like the Price is Right. I'll say $201M
HokieAl • 02/22/24 09:23 AM ET
Agree on being a Business Deal **
Hokie83 • 02/22/24 08:24 AM ET
Do your instincts tell you we would be more likely Big ten or SEC**
olemisshokie4life • 02/22/24 08:31 AM ET
Think Admin prefers the Big
Hokie83 • 02/22/24 08:55 AM ET
I hope they don’t over think it. Just go SEC.**
hokieball • 02/22/24 06:33 PM ET
Is it true that we're working toward becoming an AAU school?**
hokie77 • 02/22/24 11:34 AM ET
We've been working on that for years. I asked Prez Steger about that..... ◄

As an outsider, you already have the academics to be invited - but
Big12 guy • 02/22/24 12:10 PM ET
Would ND go with 5 to SEC? POD of 6 maybe**
MrFantastic! • 02/22/24 09:10 AM ET
I’ve heard Admin prefers B1G, most in the Athletic Department prefer SEC,
Stech • 02/22/24 09:00 AM ET
Lets hope SEC ;-)**

olemisshokie4life • 02/22/24 01:55 PM ET
I just hope that VT does not overplay their desire to go B1G at
