UVA/VA Tech are not a package deal. Not even close. If it wasn't for political pressure within VA, Tech would of not gotten the ACC invite when they did. UVA was more than happy leaving them in the Big East.

This. UVA would leave VT behind without thinking twice about it. Getting UVA would have more to do with convincing them that the SEC has made enough strides academically to be an appealing fit. UNC would be easier to convince, but they're going to stick with UVA. Those schools want the ACC to survive.

Everybody seems to think that the package deals are UVA-VT and UNC-Duke. That's not the case. UVA and UNC are the big prizes, and they have tied themselves together.
