What the College World Series says about realignment

1. 4 ACC teams vs. 4 SEC teams. All 4 ACC teams have been rumored some some source (some more credible than others) as joining the SEC in the future. Still early but SEC won both games vs. ACC teams so far. Lower ranked Florida upset Clemson in the supers. In the regionals the higher ranked ACC/SEC team beat their lower ranked counterpart. ACC baseball is probably dead when FSU, Clemson and UNC leave. SEC baseball will likely monopolize the CWS. 2. VT deserves a P2 spot over UVA. A Omaha bar sells jello shots with most profits going to charity during the College World Series every year and keeps tabs on how many each school sells. Made a few headlines nationwide. UVA is dead last again for the second straight year. The 7th place school has almost double the sales. Last year they finished dead last behind teams with tiny fanbases like Stanford, Wake, TCU and Oral Roberts. Shows you how little their fans care or travel to support them. We all know the Hokies will be at or near the top when we make Omaha. SEC and BIG also know this and guaranteed neither conference will take UVA over VT. You can even argue that Wake would bring more money and fans than them.

Not certain that Jell-O shots will decide conference alignments **

Depends on how many the negotiators consume

Maybe I'm obtuse or missing something but SEC picking UVA over VT makes

Completely agree.

"Blob!" Excellent metaphor.**

A heck of a good argument for VT can be made, especially to the SEC

Every school should learn for past corporations. Pan Am was great once

Corporations and conferences all get bigger through acquisition and mergers

Richmond doesn't care about college athletics, just power

But in this case with the conferences, the battle is over
