Never said anything about.......
a politician or some group of politicians preventing VT from leaving the ACC for the SEC just like I never said anything about the backchannel invite. Just more of your lack of reading comprehension and inability to discuss the point of contention and defend your position.
You contended the decision was elitist snobbery on VT's part and the linking was driven by Warner trying to curry political favor in SWVA and that in declining the SEC backchannel invite VT concluded their position in the ACC was superior to what the ACC offered. Your contentions are either wholly or partially inaccurate.
The decision was based on a realistic assessment of the political landscape and the position of the entire university, not elitist snobbery. You next contended Warner drove the bus he did not originally drive bus but, he later agreed to board the bus as an additional driver and was well aware of future political considerations far beyond SWVA. Finally, the backchannel decline was a timing consideration driven by a host of considerations and NEVER boiled down to a statement that they considered their position in the ACC, competitively and financially to be superior.
You may think your sources were in a position to know, however, I know mine were in the room. You may also think you are an adult but, if you believe your last post stops anything with its obvious fallacies you're even more confused than your earlier inaccuracies have already shown.
