[quote=Anonymous]UVA considering joining the Big T14n? I haven't seen any serious reports of that.

UVA's a better fit for non-revenue sports and definitely for research $$$/overall prestige. It's just that, well, they suck in football. (Well, that didn't stop the Big T14n from grabbing Murland.)

Remember folks, Virginia Tech had to twist several arms down in Richmond to join the ACC a few years ago.

If they bolted w/o bringing UVA along there'd be a LOT of people pissed off. Likewise, if UVA bolted and left Virginia Tech behind, there'd be a lot of other people pissed off.

The Cavs (of which I am a fan) are stuck with the Hokies.

I'm not sure how tied together UVA and Virginia Tech are.

If Maryland's athletic department is so in debt and Mr. Under Armour is willing to pay the exit fee ... why couldn't he have helped the UMD athletic department get out of debt and keep them in the ACC?

How much of that $8 million extra a year is canceled out jetting the men's soccer and women's field hockey teams to Minnesota and Nebraska? How much will non-Plank alumni be pissed off and reduce donations?

Also we start having the Big T14n sniffing around VA, NJ, and MD for recruits ...

Let's see if Maryland can get out of that $50 million exit fee. If they do, UVA may have to head somewhere -- I suspect the Big T14n doesn't really want Virginia Tech and the Big Tw10lve doesn't really want UVA. [/quote]
