No brainer.

Hard to imagine the VT coach surviving much longer.

I was told by someone who would know they almost pulled the plug after the Vanderbilt loss last week so this is the least surprising thing of the day for me

I thought the Foster hiring was a mistake from the start.

Not sure who is going to take that gig now - somebody should let UCLA know that Charlton is still kicking around on the Browns.

Some buzz around Chesney to Virginia Tech. Not sure that would be a good move for him.

maybe this vt thing is a blessing in disguise.
if enough of these mid-tier P4s like VT, Pitt, BC, Syracuse, Wake, Louisiville, NC State, start getting left behind because they simply cannot compete in the new spending arms race, perhaps we have a chance to revive the big east glory days and get a great "PG" conference birthed to fill in this middle ground. between true G5 and top P3 (or honestly P2) -- finding a way to partner with Big 12 and become the true second tier beneath B1G and SEC... so we're at least not at the low end of FBS with the "G" schools.

the pessimisitc jetsky in me feels this is the best we can hope for, the way things are shaking out in CFB world.

EDIT - i think i just re-stated the "Big East/ACC merger" argument again, in a different way. lol my bad

 

[Jetskies]

a part of me also wonders if the B1G is secretly trying to find a way to kick out Rutgers & Maryland too, honestly. Unlikely, but with all the new additions and with properties like UNC and FSU / miami on the horizon, more mouths to feed = gotta make cuts somewhere. These 2 don't matter anymore to the equation, as far as I can see.

would be great to have them join us at the P/G "rejects" table lol
Welcome back, Jersey!

That's 20teens UConnesque.

Imagine a conference of UConn, UCLA, Kansas, Duke -- eh...I'm in the wrong thread.
