I find it very hard to believe that Virginia Tech would be any sort of advocate for Louisville. Louisville was a ring leader who helped dump Virginia Tech when the clique of Louisville, Cincinnati, and Memphis helped merge the Metro Conference and Great Midwestern Conference to form Conference USA. Virginia Tech and Virginia Commonwealth both received a surprising letter in the mail from the President of UNC-Charlotte that they were officially not wanted anymore in the Metro Conference. Virginia Tech sued for $7.9 Million in damages. Virginia Tech had to scramble for an Atlantic 10 invite. VCU scrambled for a CAA invite. It was very ugly.

I can't imagine that UConn did anything worse to Virginia Tech in the Big East than what Louisville did in the Metro. I'm not sure how the Big East stuff went down though. I can see VT supporting the other ACC football schools like FSU, Clemson, and GT in this last vote, but I know they held their nose regarding Louisville. Now that Louisville is in the ACC, Louisville may want to rebuild this Louisville, Cincinnati, Memphis clique in the ACC. They successfully built it in the AAC before Louisville was invited to the ACC. I think the AAC basketball tournament is going to be in Memphis soon. I don't want this for the ACC. I'm OK with Louisville, but that's it from that group. Let the Big XII have Cincinnati and Memphis if they need to joing a P5 Conference. Otherwise the AAC is fine for them.
I'm an advocate for UConn to join the ACC. I'm hopefull UConn, Syracuse, Boston College, and Miami could figure out how to get along well enough to help make that happen. They were all friends once. If UConn could build that support group, I think it would happen.
