I really don't get this comment. If UVA (or Va Tech) went to the SEC, they'd bring an opening in to the DC market as well as the 4 other TV markets in the Commonwealth. If it's UVA and UNC, it would give the SEC a presence in every one of the southeastern states. The SEC would love to get into VA and NC. With the impending SEC Network, I'd think the SEC would want to expand its TV footprint.
Personally, I think Va. Tech is a better fit for the SEC than Virginia. As far as NC goes, because of the fact you have UNC and NCSU under the auspices of the same state authority, it would have to be both or neither. I just don't think the SEC is that interested in any of those schools. Let's face it, football is driving this train and except for an occasional good year here and there for Va. Tech, those schools don't cut it at the SEC level. Football is why UConn isn't going anywhere for a while. The program needs to be built up at least to where it was in the Edsall era.
