It would require Virginia having a place to land in the Big 10. Both schools benefit.

The thought that we need to win big for a few years to be attractive, forget it, there is no future opportunity once this all goes down. If Turner and Ford don't pull a rabbit out of the hat, i hope you enjoyed D-1 football, and the hopes of moving up to a better league someday, i hope you enjoyed it very much.


Careful there hoop fan- some rag sheets might consider you 'irrational'.

I would think Clemson and Florida State to the SEC.

Neither of those programs would provide the SEC with a new market. The SEC can maximize revenue by going outside its existing footprint.

SEC member schools Florida, UGA, and South Carolina all have an agreement to block the addition of any school from an existing SEC state (GT, Clemson, FSU)

Remember how VT got into the ACC to begin with. They did not have the votes until the Virginia legislature forced UVA to vote for VT. I suspect if either Virginia school attempts to leave the ACC, the Va. Legislature is going to grab the doodads of the one leaving and say, "not so fast". I have heard nothing from Gov. McDonnell on this one, yet. He controls the Board of Visitors for both schools and he can force them to do his will.

I suspect VT can leave for the SEC if UVa gets in the B10 lifeboat, or vice versa. McDonnell won't force them both to stay on the Titanic with Capt. Smith

But they won't let either leave unless the other has a lifeboat.

If the Big Ten is expanding past 14, I'd have to think UVa gets a call. They're the perfect fit for the B10, moreso than GT

The SEC will take VT and NC State when it's necessary.

Yes because Big 12 could still go FSU, Clemson, Virginia Tech, North Carolina St and throw them into a Division with West Virginia. Big 12 could force SEC to move

Yeah, that would force the SEC's hand. I guess B12 could go the direction of FSU, Clemson, Pitt, and Syracuse. I'm kind of surprised the B10 had little or no interest in Syracuse, seems like a better fit than Rutgers and has about the same draw in the NYC market, I'd imagine

I hope the B1G goes to 16 now to force the other conferences to move. Let's start all the dominoes and get this thing over with!
