I very seriously doubt that that's true. Maybe the most attractive realistic candidate after A&M, but Tech isn't even the most attractive university for the SEC in its own state.

But seriously, folks

I still think we should try to make the SEC the premier basketball conference as well as premier football conference. Lets get UNC and Kansas and call it a day. We don't need anymore powers in football.

UVA is to snarky for the SEC.

Like Finebaum would know who the SEC's top target was. I would be my life on A&M being ahead of VT on the SEC's wish list. Now if we are talking who was the top choice to come with A&M, then I could see VT being the top choice for that. But there is no way that VT was above A&M on the SEC's wishlist.
ETA: Even if we are talking about choosing A&M's moving partner, I still don't see VT being the #1 choice. I bet UNC was higher on their wishlists. Granted, there was no way UNC was coming then, but neither was VT if you listened to the PTB at VT.

Va Tech boosters wanted nothing to do with a SEC schedule. Per my uncle, former President of their booster club.

Their only source is Paul Finebaum, I'm going to agree with you.

Would have been a better, and more geographically reasonable fit when compared to Missouri.

“Virginia Tech I think was probably the strongest candidate,” said Finebaum.

Conference decisions go way beyond football, and UVA could get better at football quickly. They have much more resources than VT,

Yep. That's why I specified that Tech was more realistic
