Future conference opponents playing at noon on ESPN…

LOL Cyclones vs Wildcats… BIG 12 seems logical conference home for VT if ACC goes, in my opinion… (I’ll duck! 😎) BIG 12 picks leftover cream from ACC and increases strength of Conference by double…

I'd prefer if the ACC and B12 survived with just olympic sports
HokieAl • 08/24/25 12:41 PM ET
I tend to agree. And I don't think it would be a bad place to be.**
Atlee Hokie • 08/23/25 10:03 PM ET
I do because if that happens
VTCALS72 • 08/24/25 05:05 AM ET
"If" UVA is a P-2 school, they'll have a huge advantage....
Old Line Hokie • 08/24/25 10:25 PM ET
Oh well, it will beat being in the AAC or SunBelt **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/24/25 06:14 AM ET
I wouldn't knock the Sun Belt because it may have more members passionate
VTHokie2000 • 08/25/25 11:26 AM ET
Not meant to knock the SunBelt but the pay isn't the same
HokiesACC2004 • 08/26/25 05:42 AM ET
Some fans would because the brand of football played would remind them of
VTHokie2000 • 08/26/25 08:27 AM ET
Iowa State is a peer institution.
Maroon Baboon • 08/23/25 09:40 PM ET
Much truth, Both have potential.
MrFantastic! • 08/25/25 07:04 AM ET
There were a ton of fans in Ireland the way it looked.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/25/25 01:43 PM ET
Could be, but ESPN owns 1/2 of ACC Network, I see them backing ACC for that
Stech • 08/23/25 08:52 PM ET
Problem is, ACC basketball is not what it used to be.
wwhokie1 • 08/30/25 06:07 PM ET
That’s why the Big East Merger could happen, I know the 🏈 fans won’t like
Stech • 08/30/25 06:58 PM ET
I think Big 12 is much more likely spot for
zosohokie • 08/23/25 01:54 PM ET
Should the ACC implode......
2hhoop3 • 08/23/25 09:53 PM ET
The commissioners from Hell!
RJHokie • 08/23/25 10:02 PM ET
There are without a doubt.....
2hhoop3 • 08/24/25 08:50 AM ET
Perhaps so, but I believe he was also the UNC athletic director when
RJHokie • 08/24/25 09:09 AM ET
Like I said......
2hhoop3 • 08/24/25 09:14 AM ET
I'm not so sure that Phillips has any control
Big12 guy • 08/24/25 10:26 AM ET
No absolutes IMHO but both the ACC and B12 are more "prisoners"
VTCALS72 • 08/25/25 08:28 AM ET
He has the opportunity....
2hhoop3 • 08/24/25 10:35 AM ET
Yes
VTCALS72 • 08/25/25 08:31 AM ET
The ACC/B12 fan discussion will continue
Big12 guy • 08/24/25 10:47 AM ET
It’s still kind of 2.5 to 2.
hokieZ71 • 08/24/25 04:20 PM ET
I do not disagree....
2hhoop3 • 08/24/25 12:14 PM ET
Unless a "3rd" power conference gets the type of media money
Big12 guy • 08/24/25 01:08 PM ET
Its already well past that**
RTFC • 08/26/25 12:25 AM ET
I believe the best of the ACC and the best of the B12 would make ...
Atlee Hokie • 08/24/25 12:36 PM ET
To do what?
VTCALS72 • 08/25/25 08:38 AM ET
I understand that. But if, as you say, the P's have spoken, what is ...
Atlee Hokie • 08/25/25 08:59 AM ET
I think there is another option and a better one than those 2
VTCALS72 • 08/25/25 01:02 PM ET
Looks good on paper, but dissolving two
Big12 guy • 08/25/25 10:43 AM ET
Swofford definitely belongs on that list.**
Atlee Hokie • 08/23/25 10:08 PM ET
But he took care of his son...
EDGEMAN • 08/24/25 08:32 AM ET
B12 is 4th behind the P2 and the ACC, I explain why I think so above.
Stech • 08/23/25 08:55 PM ET
An ACC/Big 12 merger of some sort
mancunian • 08/23/25 08:08 PM ET
VT is leaving the ACC? link?**
Windows NT • 08/23/25 04:16 PM ET

RandomAsianGuy • 08/23/25 01:12 PM ET
It could be worse **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/24/25 06:15 AM ET
Kind of like our latest commitment…big time player, gonna visit Tennessee &
ombandit • 08/23/25 01:34 PM ET
College football is depressing these days**
ombandit • 08/23/25 01:31 PM ET
unless we raise our budget immediately to 200 million**
1947Sunbowl • 08/23/25 12:01 PM ET
Yep & pretty sure that’s not gonna happen…
ombandit • 08/23/25 12:21 PM ET
Quit being a drama queen Merc........
2hhoop3 • 08/23/25 12:12 PM ET
You have a keen grasp of the obvious**
