People are factoring VT into this as if we would be playing in the Coastal.

That’s something that’s forgotten I think. Consider the TV product and ticket sales involved if VT were playing in a new six team division of the B1G or SEC. I think we’re talking 24 teams each. How about these as potential divisions? B1G East: (the B1G dips into Virginia and NC along with Adding ND and Pac12 teams.) PSU Maryland Rutgers UNC Ohio State VT This would be awesome for PSU and probably pretty decent for Ohio State. Both would desire a foothold in sourthern and eastern states for recruiting. (I realize some sort of cross division rival set up would be needed to keep OSU-Michigan alive.). Anyhow, VT would bring great TV ratings for all those teams. VT would sell tickets in all those stadiums too. VT would be one of Rutgers and Maryland’s biggest games of the year from a TV and ticket sales perspective. VT would represent pretty well for UNC, OSU, and PS also! Now the SEC scenario looks even better! I think the SEC adds a VA and NC school while gobbling up the other desirable ACC properties. Consider this division with VT: VT NC State South Carolina Kentucky Tennessee Vandy Again, VT would bring ratings and ticket sales to those programs. I know we’re talking SC, Kentucky, and Vandy, but somebody’s gotta play them. VT would be a pretty big game for them all. Amd when VT is playing any cross division games, we would be a draw also. Whenever we’ve went to Nebraska or LSU, we’ve always been prime time. Whenever we’ve played Alabama, we’ve always been prime time.

I think the B10 invites eight of us soon.
Truthahn 08/07/22 08:47 PM ET

Mercury 08/08/22 08:09 AM ET
I assume that breakup would be like the end of the Metro conference
Truthahn 08/08/22 12:11 PM ET
??? for you

NCAA created 1AA in the late 70s.
mancunian 08/08/22 10:09 AM ET
So ESPN will allow their properties to FOX? NOTTA**
MrFantastic! 08/08/22 07:32 AM ET
if all 14 together go
Mercury 08/08/22 08:11 AM ET
I can't see Wake, BC nor CUSE in SEC. But who knows.**
MrFantastic! 08/08/22 08:22 AM ET
West Virginia joins the Ivy League before that happens**
obguthr 08/08/22 10:45 AM ET
They need to find landing spots for 8 ACC teams if they are going to go
TDVick 08/08/22 12:42 AM ET
I think SEC gobbles up FSU, Miami, Clemson, GT?, and 1 each of NC and Va.
BBBDatVT_ 08/07/22 11:57 PM ET
SEC has no interest in GT.**

Once again, I just don't see Miami as a "hot commodity"
EDGEMAN 08/08/22 08:16 AM ET
ESPN can sell the crap out of most SEC vs Miami matchups. I Think Miami is
133193Hokie 08/08/22 11:16 AM ET
I'm with you. I think there is an antiquated media bias that thinks Miami
HokieToph 08/08/22 10:19 AM ET
the U is always talked about. **
MrFantastic! 08/08/22 08:25 AM ET
Have to wonder if that's just a disinformation campaign to hide...
EDGEMAN 08/08/22 08:48 AM ET
Will never happen, they will add West Coast first to join with USC/UCLA.**
wwhokie1 08/07/22 09:52 PM ET
I agree...
MrFantastic! 08/08/22 06:53 AM ET
Us joining the NFC east is more likely than anything you said.**
Maroon Effect 08/07/22 07:06 PM ET
Easier to win than the SEC**
WestyHokie 08/08/22 09:31 AM ET
What's your prediction? VT's left out? If not, what's your division setup?
BBBDatVT_ 08/08/22 12:48 AM ET
So, what’s your prediction? Bring it. **
BBBDatVT_ 08/07/22 08:24 PM ET
So, VT has no chance at the B1G or SEC? Wanna bet?
BBBDatVT_ 08/07/22 07:07 PM ET
It depends if the B1G & SEC go beyond 20.
Old Line Hokie 08/07/22 07:22 PM ET
If all of those teams come from the ACC, we are definitely in.
Truthahn 08/07/22 08:29 PM ET
Somewhat agreed. I think the new B1G and SEC are both over 20.
BBBDatVT_ 08/07/22 07:26 PM ET
There is a huge gap between not being part of the P2 and being relegated
133743Hokie 08/07/22 08:24 PM ET
Not when the B1G and SEC become pro leagues.
BBBDatVT_ 08/08/22 12:49 AM ET
We will be much closer to the Mac than SEC. Zero chance at a title.
