In order, give me your top 5 reasons a P2 league should take VT. Then show

Me where VT places among those out of the P2 in each reason. Example: you pick 1 as football relevance. Where does VT stand among the out of P2 schools in that list. Or TV viewers, where is VT on that list?

We need the Big 10 to add UVA, give the SEC a reason to respond **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/02/24 10:31 PM ET
I could also see it going the other way around.
Maroon Baboon • 06/03/24 01:29 AM ET
Less likely IMHO because of a Big presence already in DMV
VTCALS72 • 06/03/24 09:06 AM ET
Yep. Moreover, if UNC goes to the SEC, I think there will be some

Perhaps. But somebody better let FSU in on the ruse.
Maroon Baboon • 06/03/24 12:25 PM ET
In the bull on bull FSU and what they want vs ESPN and what they want

VTCALS72 • 06/03/24 12:25 PM ET
UVA is just a better fit for the Big 10 while VT is more SEC
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/03/24 03:46 AM ET
VT has some aspects that work for and against us
HokieAl • 06/02/24 01:42 PM ET
If a P2 decides it wants a presence in VA, they should pick VT

949hokie • 06/02/24 05:52 PM ET
We’d have to beat Vandy by 70 to get SEC attention **
CrystalCoveHokie • 06/02/24 01:43 PM ET
Eh more like by 224 points**
VTHokie2000 • 06/02/24 02:37 PM ET

It doesn't, just thinking "out loud" and injecting a thought !**

As long as the P2 contains Rutgers, Vandy, MD, N-W, Indiana, Minn, etc
hokieZ71 • 06/02/24 09:33 AM ET
The ACC didn’t want to add VT because they lack business acumen
lawhokie • 06/02/24 10:51 AM ET
I disagree with your stated reason.
