I don't like it

Not one bit.

But even a pro-independence Neanderthal like me can see the writing on the wall.

The ND crew
MrFantastic! • 01/11/22 08:49 PM ET
I think ND will just remain independent forever
Truthahn • 01/14/22 12:49 PM ET
That has been a high priority goal....
TerryD • 01/14/22 06:15 PM ET
I think they'll eventually fall into the clutches of the B1X
EDGEMAN • 01/14/22 01:56 PM ET
Assuming a super league of some kind is likely to form at some point
VTHokie2000 • 01/14/22 04:04 PM ET
It may become inevitable. The ACC will die in it's current form.
goldendomer • 01/12/22 09:47 AM ET
I don't see a ND alignment with the SEC
Truthahn • 01/14/22 12:43 PM ET
I am content with an independent ND, but agree that position is at odds
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 10:58 AM ET
Agree with all of this**
TerryD • 01/12/22 01:51 PM ET
That's the #1 reason the ACC needs to fight the SEC's idea of expanding...
EDGEMAN • 01/12/22 10:41 AM ET
ACC just needs the NCAA tournament
Sunsetunderground • 01/12/22 12:17 PM ET
Aau rules pass - vt does not want to go south
Mercury • 01/12/22 07:10 AM ET
The B1G and the PAC need to make the Rose Bowl Great Again.
Maroon Baboon • 01/11/22 09:35 PM ET
That’s what ESPN/ John Skipper tried to do this summer, it didn’t work,
Stech • 01/11/22 10:22 PM ET
VT needs to get good again under Pry to give us options in the future.**
Maroon Baboon • 01/11/22 10:38 PM ET
We need to get good again, no doubt, it will be interesting to see how this
Stech • 01/11/22 11:23 PM ET
B1G and SEC expand to 20 each
Millpoint • 01/11/22 09:22 PM ET
Championships have to be bought and paid for in the $EC
Hokie Fiji • 01/12/22 03:41 PM ET
Let's hope. Joining the ACC is probably the worst decision in the history
lawhokie • 01/12/22 11:31 AM ET
I wanted to go to the SEC ever since the ACC announced SYR/BC.MIA to ACC
Maroon Baboon • 01/12/22 11:59 AM ET
We all have our opinions....
arcadtect • 01/17/22 12:24 AM ET
Too bad the SEC didn't want us then...
EDGEMAN • 01/13/22 11:56 AM ET
If Miami hadn't killed the SEC's plan to expand in the late 90s when it
VTHokie2000 • 01/13/22 04:46 PM ET
We had no choice but to join the ACC in that scenario.
Maroon Baboon • 01/13/22 03:03 PM ET
Both VT and NC State would be a financial loss for SEC, after their next
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 09:16 AM ET
VT would be one of the more valuable second tier
lawhokie • 01/12/22 10:09 AM ET
Projections have suggested the SEC schools will be receiving payouts around
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 10:41 AM ET
OU and UT was a massive game changer.
Maroon Baboon • 01/14/22 09:16 AM ET
Your last two sentences are the crux .....
2hhoop3 • 01/12/22 03:06 PM ET
Adding schools from Virginia and North Carolina increases the SEC footprint
lawhokie • 01/12/22 11:22 AM ET
4 million loss by my calculations. 80 less divided by 18 schools. You make
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 11:53 AM ET
But if the SEC starts offloading their "dead wood"...
EDGEMAN • 01/12/22 12:45 PM ET
Do you think VT is in a position to expand Lane to 80K+?
VTHokie2000 • 01/12/22 07:03 PM ET
If that's what it takes, yes.
EDGEMAN • 01/13/22 12:00 PM ET
I agree it is possible for VT to expand Lane. Not sure the north end zone
VTHokie2000 • 01/13/22 04:19 PM ET
Arkansas and Miss schools only have 50k stadiums. Vandy even less.**
Lakeridgehokie • 01/12/22 09:11 PM ET
You may want to double check your information there
VTHokie2000 • 01/13/22 04:36 PM ET
Why they won't make it into the age of "mega conferences"
EDGEMAN • 01/13/22 11:57 AM ET
If you see my post above, then you will see Arkansas isn't that far off
VTHokie2000 • 01/13/22 04:41 PM ET
Actually, if they offload their "dead wood" then the per team payout goes
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 12:53 PM ET
The ACC could use some of that too...lol**
EDGEMAN • 01/12/22 02:33 PM ET
Are UK, MSU & Vandy financial gains for the SEC?
EDGEMAN • 01/12/22 09:40 AM ET
With all the chest-thumping about the conference membership
Maroon Baboon • 01/12/22 10:56 AM ET
Best way to improve revenue in the future may be to drop the dead weight.
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 11:04 AM ET
Conferences shouldn't be bigger than round robin play will allow.
Maroon Baboon • 01/12/22 11:22 AM ET
Is Clemson in a conference with VT or South Carolina. Feels more like SC
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 11:47 AM ET
Those schools are definitely a financial loss, and would not be added if
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 10:33 AM ET
My thoughts are that if they form "mega conferences," current membership...
EDGEMAN • 01/12/22 10:38 AM ET
Not sure that is likely, but is probably the best option. Just start from
wwhokie1 • 01/12/22 10:45 AM ET
I don't like it ◄
