Another ACC Meeting on Expansion

If I was FSU, Clemson, UNC & NC State, I would not pick up the telephone when Phillips called. Stanford is desperate from what I hear. They cannot even schedule P4 opponents as an Independent for the future. Notre Dame concerns about that in the long term probably was the main reason for the ACC attachment. The B1G would never had agreed to that arrangement. Will the ACC bend over for Stanford just like for Notre Dame. Phillips has probably done got his visit from a bag man. Just like Swofford was sitting pretty after throwing the ACC under the bus for ESPN. FSU and Clemson are football schools. They belong in the SEC or B1G. Not in the basketball ACC thinking ACC. Not caring about football is what causes all that corruption on Tobacco Road. Not enough football fans to hold anybody's feet to the fire. I use to think of Virginia Tech as a football school. A decade ago was sure a different experience on this board. The Hokie fans said FSU leaving was no problem, that the Hokies would just follow FSU. FSU leaving would just be the good excuse. Not the mentality here now at all. I think the board is infested with tobacco road people that have been here for many years. They are thinking about good basketball. I don't really care if FSU leaves the ACC or not. The SEC doesn't need them as some here have wisely noted. I just tire of the ACC homerism here. I think the SEC & B1G will both want a school in Virginia if the ACC ever folds. That will give the Hokies a good home. I really believe that.

Another ACC Meeting on Expansion

Most VT fans grew up in Mid-Atlantic area and watched (with envy) ACC games

Why wouldn't most on this board want the ACC to survive?
Old Line Hokie 08/22/23 03:19 PM ET
would you roam once more if SEC come calling?**

I agree that many VT fans (me included) have always wanted into the ACC.

I Can Understand that Sentiment

Has Tech ever pushed for SEC membership during its history?
Old Line Hokie 08/22/23 07:03 PM ET
Tech was in the running when USCe got in
Marooned 08/22/23 07:17 PM ET
Never knew that. Tech tried to get into the ACC when USC-E left the ACC.

“Maybe” if ND to 6 ACC games, it passes, but TerryD & Domer say no way not
Stech 08/22/23 01:01 PM ET
I would vote no until...
EDGEMAN 08/22/23 05:24 PM ET
I certainly understand that point of view, but I would’ve taken the 6th
Stech 08/22/23 05:28 PM ET
You should get used to the idea......
2hhoop3 08/22/23 02:44 PM ET
I have always thought the TV networks we’re driving the bus, have stated it
Stech 08/22/23 04:55 PM ET
ESPN recently asked SEC to play nine conference games. Sankey said
33laszlo99 08/22/23 08:02 PM ET
As far as predictions go.....
TerryD 08/22/23 02:28 PM ET
1st is correct, the the next two are not. Nice deflection from the 5 games.
Stech 08/22/23 04:47 PM ET
Oh the list is longer than that, but that is a good starting point**
goldendomer 08/22/23 02:40 PM ET
Need 12 yes votes from ACC schools (incl ND). Hope the votes aren't there.**

Thought McMurphy reported the mtg was cancelled (and it was a regular mtg
133966Hokie 08/22/23 12:51 PM ET
Per "sources" on X it was cancelled FWIW
cvillehokie92 08/22/23 01:53 PM ET
rumor is UNC and State changed their mind
Mercury 08/22/23 12:14 PM ET
FSU is either a hollow threat or they're gone anyhow. Now that the August
TDVick 08/22/23 02:47 PM ET
Yeah, the only reason I might actually this move
Vippie1 08/22/23 12:51 PM ET
I like the idea of a late night Saturday game at Cal or Stanford each week
