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?

The view may not be based on success/failure of the team though.
