I think all your posts about VT including this one demonstrate that VT has had a hard time getting to where they have always wanted to be. The ACC had snubbed VT starting in 1953 and on several occasions after that including when Georgia Tech was invited and when Florida State was invited. They were only admitted in 2002 because UNC and Duke voted against expansion. That made John Casteen from UVA's vote relevant, and he is the one that was sponsoring VT. He got the group to vote on VT before they could vote on Miami to help make sure they got in because he knew eveyone wanted Miami, but he wasn't sure on VT. After trying many times for 50 years to get into the ACC, VT isn't likely to want to go anywhere else. There are some VT fans that like the idea of the SEC, but the SEC is not where their administration wants to be.
Louisville had VT and VCU kicked out of the Metro when they went in the direction of forming C-USA. VT fans remember that too and don't like it, but Louisville is coming in. I talk to VT fans everyday, and I don't hear a whole lot of objection to UConn. Their biggest concern is being put in a Division that looks like the Big East and not the ACC. They want to be able to recruit in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. They want to play regular games there. They have accepted Boston College as their crossover rival. I don't think that VT is where any sort of anti-UConn bias would be coming from. I think more of it is coming from Boston College, which I don't get. And I think that the football schools in the south see UConn as a basketball school. It is. And they know they have to work on football.
