This time, with just one team (Duke BBall). I know these are non-conference games, but don't think we may see some week 0 match-ups in football with the Netflix College Opener pitting 2 top teams and paying them a lot of money for NIL. As mentioned here and there and everywhere, I think VT's main goal is to get in the P2, but does the P2 exits in 20 years, or do schools that feel that are big enough just go the ND route and work on their own carrier deals as independents - maybe striking deals with like schools for their non-rev sports to ease scheduling? Funny thing is I can see this happening, but 20-30 years after that, go back to conferences because while I follow VT, I do still watch a decent amount of games because there is some investment on how it affects VT or that they are playing for the same goal (of course, that has waned some since VT hasn't been in any position to do anything once there are 4 or so games to go). If there is a 24 or whatever number superleague of independents, does that still carry enough weight to keep that kind of money flowing? I know if that happens and VT isn't in the top league, I might take a peak at it, but I am definitely not going out of my way to watch it since I will be focusing on whatever league(s) VT is in. Are there enough casual/gambling fans to keep that freight train going with those type of $$$ contracts once you drop so many college football teams?
