re: Let's talk expansion. UVA or Va Tech

It’s been awhile since I’ve lived in NC so I’m not personally very in tune with the state government. The consensus on our message board though is that the people in power at the state level that call the shots for the university system are actually mostly NCST fans, and they’re working hard to pass legislation that will tie the two schools together if/when any conference realignment happens.

We’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. I like the ACC for what it is in terms of the rivalries/matchups. Unfortunately, the marquee programs like FSU/Clemson football, UNC/Duke basketball, etc. are only going to fall further behind the BIG and SEC moving forward if they stay in the ACC. One way or another it looks like that will be the catalyst that breaks up the conference. If the choice is to stay in our original conference while our athletic programs slowly fall behind, or jump to a P2, I guess I would pick the latter option. Nothing against the BIG or SEC, but we would be an outcast in either conference.
