VT ChemE 1986

I am not getting all the angst about the P2 selecting only 1 school in

NC and VA. Both P2 conferences have proven that if there are two large, primary athletic programs in a state, they take both: Michigan / Michigan State, Illinois / Northwestern, Mississippi / Mississippi St, Alabama / Auburn, Tennessee / Vanderbilt, USC/ UCLA. Why should VA and NC be any different? UVA and VT are the clear leaders of the pack in VA. UNC and NCSU are leaders in NC, but Duke can make an argument. Based upon history both UBA and VT are absolutely going P2 if they choose to establish a presence in VA. ** Edited by VT ChemE 1986 at 6/1/2024, 10:59:05 AM ** Edited by VT ChemE 1986 at 6/1/2024, 11:00:11 AM

Why worry.........
2hhoop3 • 06/01/24 01:58 PM ET
the big NC and VT schools are the demographic gems of the ACC

You sound like Rutgers angling for the B1G

If the SEC doesn't want Clemson because they have the 2nd brand in SC
VTCALS72 • 06/01/24 12:38 PM ET
The logic is that UNC is so valuable, that the SEC is willing to take 3

The SEC and the B1G......

The reason USC and UCLA both got invites is different from UVa and VT.
Maroon Baboon • 06/01/24 11:55 AM ET
I would be absolutely shocked if both P2 passed on a Virginia school
Sunsetunderground • 06/01/24 11:50 AM ET
Let's say that UNC goes to the SEC and UVa goes with them.
Maroon Baboon • 06/01/24 12:04 PM ET
I totally agree with this
Sunsetunderground • 06/01/24 02:04 PM ET
Assuming UNC/Uva to SEC would VT take a smaller Big10 payout
HwoodHokie • 06/01/24 01:41 PM ET
If it isn't permanent, sure**

Probably. The payout needs to be big enough to be competitive. But if its

Tell that to Oklahoma State and Oregon State**
dbc05 • 06/01/24 11:35 AM ET
Apparently Oklahoma BEGGED the SEC to take Oklahoma State.
Maroon Baboon • 06/01/24 12:09 PM ET
I would not consider Oklahoma to be as strategic as NC & VA**
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/01/24 12:52 PM ET
Where OK has the potential to become as strategic as NC or VA is if ratings
VTHokie2000 • 06/01/24 03:43 PM ET
We all know there are many levels of begging. Oklahoma may have "begged"
VTHokie2000 • 06/01/24 12:24 PM ET
Well obviously OU isn't turning down the invitation if UT is going.
Maroon Baboon • 06/01/24 12:29 PM ET
I don't disagree that OU isn't going to turn down an invitation at that

You have to look at when the conferences added those schools and what the
