Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1032343, member: 2141"] The Commonwealth of Virginia spent a lot of political capital forcing the ACC to take VT instead of Pitt and/or Syracuse during the first round of expansion. I can’t picture the folks in Richmond supporting VT bailing for the B1G which may result in further fracturing of the ACC and possible damage to Virginia’s prized possession – UVA. Unless, of course, the ACC is already falling apart and, if that happens, UVA from an academic and sports profile, i.e. plays more than football, is a better fit for the B1G while VT is a better fit for the SEC (if VT joined the SEC today, it would be the 4th highest academic institution in the SEC according to US News: 1) #17 Vanderbilt, 2) #49 Florida, 3) #60 Georgia, 4) #59 Texas A&M and Virginia Tech) and it’s believed that the SEC has a strong interest in the DC TV market.
