I hope our Leadership doesn't think this way.

Where is the ambition, drive and vision. This is why a lot of the ACC membership did not want Tech. Questioned Tech's true ambitions and drive . UNC wants no part of us and UVA trying to ride the coat tails of UNC. Can you blame them? We cannot be freeloaders. We are a big University and must act like a big University. No one follows a middle tier athletic program. Either get in or get out. Times are changing and must adapt to the changing environment. Like Employment, if you cannot adapt to changes in the workforce environment you are encourage to seek other opportunities. Gee, Saturday afternoon football with JMU, Liberty , ODU and ECU. That dog doesn't hunt. I hope our Leadership does not think this way. We will find out. Days are gone to back door success. You must build the foundation to succeed.

Why do we care if VT gets picked up by a Tier 1 conference?

Where is the minus button? That there's loser talk.

VT location is "remote" and far from a lot of alumni
HokieAl 07/12/22 01:37 PM ET
It would be status quo. Same team, same players, same opponents as we face

We generally don't play SEC and B1G teams now

Not just the athletic department will suffer.

JMU, ODU, ECU, Liberty are not middle tier. Pitt, WVa, NCSU, etc. are

I tend to agree with you especially,'that ship has sailed' comment***

I really don't understand this desire for mediocrity some fans have.

The view may not be based on success/failure of the team though.
VTHokie2000 07/12/22 08:27 PM ET
I don't want middle tier.

i keep saying we dont have the fanbase to pay SEC money to compete
VaPoly07 07/12/22 10:45 AM ET
Because staying in “middle tier” would hurt other VT sports

Even in the mid-tier...

P2 money has an impact far beyond football
EDGEMAN 07/12/22 10:38 AM ET
Don't fool yourself, that money will go to the football arms race
Happy Dog 07/12/22 10:57 AM ET
Of course the majority will go to the engine that produces the money
EDGEMAN 07/12/22 11:46 AM ET
Not so sure about that

This is a healthy train of thought I believe. But the competitor and the ra
