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. ** Edited by 2hhoop3 at 3/10/2025, 3:53:19 PM

Uneven distribution according 2 multiple n media is going to P2 Conferences
Stech 03/09/25 08:16 PM ET
Exactly. Just like the B12 was used to be a safe harbor for PAC teams

So for ultimate survival, should the ACC and B12

Interesting question, I wonder if they would get more 💵? Phillips retires
Stech 03/10/25 01:18 PM ET
Uneven distribution in the P2 might be exactly what the ACC needs to keep
wwhokie1 03/09/25 09:05 PM ET
It certainly has saved it for the short term, the long run I’m not sure.**
Stech 03/09/25 10:43 PM ET
Is there really a "long term" for anything below the P2 right now?**
VTCALS72 03/10/25 12:19 PM ET
🤷‍♂️**
Stech 03/10/25 01:18 PM ET
Can you imagine UNC or Miami playing football in the SEC?
EDGEMAN 03/10/25 07:05 AM ET
So if this does indeed happen in P2, VT's best bet financially would

Not sure, but it’s entirely possible being at the bottom of the P2 won’t be
Stech 03/09/25 10:41 PM ET
UVa and VT are also still tied together politically.
Maroon Baboon 03/09/25 09:11 PM ET
I came to that conclusion too.
VTCALS72 03/10/25 12:18 PM ET
That's not true. It's never been true.

You have an erroneous.....

Also in 2003-4 UVA had nothing to lose by supporting VT. They were already

I wasn't referring to the Big East days, I am referring to recent events.
Maroon Baboon 03/10/25 09:54 AM ET
Nobody in Richmond forbade VT from going to the SEC in 2011.

I don’t blame the 1st time, but when Texas OU left & Finebaum’s guest said

I don't believe the SEC wants anything to do with UVA, makes zero sense
cvillehokie92 03/10/25 12:15 PM ET
SEC will not hold anything against if they truly desire.
MrFantastic! 03/10/25 12:11 PM ET
I would hate to be the politician who kept either VT or UVA from accepting
wwhokie1 03/10/25 10:01 AM ET
I agree. And the comments from 2023 were even eye brow raising back then.
Maroon Baboon 03/10/25 10:07 AM ET
I think the smaller schools were the ones pushing for more 🏀💵, that’s why
