UVA is rather weak at the moment in football, and that overshadows the other athletic success. UVA won the Capital One Cup for Men's sports in 2014-2015, so if the football improves so will the perception. The rest of the department is doing well.
I hope UConn gets into the B1G if you want to be in the B1G. UVA is happy in the ACC. I'm not sure what locking up the northeast really means though. The Big East had that and couldn't make it work like you'd think it would. They had every school except Penn State.
Standard POS Southern Arrogance from an ACC tribe member.
You went and did it. And now you are weak. Sure a solid group of hoop teams (SEE Big East) ... but no network; and frankly, no hope of one. When the disparity (here he goes again) gets to $55m per University to the ACC $22m, then you will see leakage. In Econ 301 terms ... your Cartel is busted; you are going to see a few ACC seek higher ground. Regardless of G0R. Do you think there is any (ANY) honor from the gang you took - Pitt, BC, Miami or SU - or will you see honor amongst NC State or GaTech or FSU?
There has to be a great prize in locking up the Northeastern corridor. How do we know that? Just look at the effort being expended. And ... my view ... neither the Private school from Central NY or the little Zipcode school west of Brighton gets you much. A Public University would do far better.
UVA? When we fairly new at this, we played you. And you weren't all the impressive. Just ... meh. Your hoop? I will be curious to see if Tony Bennett ever breaks through.
