MD was broke. The new BBall arena cost them big. They are making more $$$ -- Hokie98grad 10/21/2019 10:22PM
You kiddin’? They’re our crossover rival! ** -- hokie-c 10/21/2019 9:33PM
That WVU hasn't been invited says volumes about how little they would bring -- marcbvtgm 10/15/2019 3:20PM
Emm, you got some right and some wrong -- Vippie1 10/12/2019 11:30AM
Disagree about BC, since there was only 1 year with Miami and Vt an no BC. -- corvt2000 10/21/2019 2:21PM
Well you are judging BC by on field competitiveness -- Vippie1 10/26/2019 09:25AM
WV was not going to help with tv. ** -- IB4TECH 10/10/2019 7:36PM
Completely wrong, WVU gets very good TV ratings. ** -- Nortazhokie 10/10/2019 11:06PM
You are missing the point. -- SouthMSHokie 10/20/2019 2:02PM
True as far as West Virginia's population.... -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2019 10:22PM
They get good ratings when the opponent pulls most of that rating ** -- marcbvtgm 10/15/2019 3:11PM
Not accurate at all ** -- Tailgate Guru 10/17/2019 8:28PM
Those ratings wouldn't be as high if WVU was Kansas or Rutgers. ** -- Old Line Hokie 10/15/2019 3:45PM
So what? What are the ratings for WVU-Kansas? ** -- marcbvtgm 10/30/2019 11:30AM
WVU brings all of that plus they buy tickets. -- HOO86 10/10/2019 10:38PM
And yet such an "obvious" choice gets a hard pass. That's not an accident. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/15/2019 3:32PM
Not an accident. It's mostly cultural bias. -- Tailgate Guru 10/17/2019 8:34PM
Louisville got one so..... ** -- SoCloseHokie 10/15/2019 7:20PM
Yep, and anyone that grew up in WV and moved is almost certainly a WVU fan. -- reestuart 10/14/2019 4:28PM
FSU is starting to have an issue selling tickets. -- Worldwide Hokie 10/11/2019 07:39AM
It just shows how important rivalry games are in down years, the SEC has it -- Stech 10/12/2019 10:52AM
Rivalries are extremely important for fan interest. -- HOO86 10/12/2019 7:39PM
One year difference? -- HOKIESHARK 10/10/2019 4:18PM
Miami football is who the ACC wanted and Donna Shalla held the cards to get -- Stech 10/10/2019 10:26AM
Casteen was leading that effort. -- EDGEMAN 10/10/2019 11:48AM
Bill and Alice Goodwin were first, Casteen was next. ** -- Stech 10/10/2019 3:51PM
John Lawson was a frequent visitor to the Gov's office, too. -- 48zip 10/16/2019 11:08AM
IMO, the biggest "service" Warner provided was giving political ... -- Atlee Hokie 10/10/2019 2:36PM
He did do that, but is was a no brainer for the state of Virginia. ** -- Stech 10/10/2019 3:53PM
I'm proud to say that Casteen went to the same -- saret 10/10/2019 12:05PM
Those snobs in North Carolina weren't going to invite WVU.... -- Old Line Hokie 10/09/2019 7:30PM
And only after they were outvoted. ** -- RJHokie 10/09/2019 7:40PM
Have to wonder if their move (vote) was specifically to get VT in? -- EDGEMAN 10/10/2019 09:41AM
UVA had more influence with Tech getting in than UNC/Duke -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2019 11:34AM
I seriously doubt a small combined Biomed Eng school had any affect -- marcbvtgm 10/15/2019 3:28PM
I'm sure that it was mentioned by President Steger and our state -- Old Line Hokie 10/15/2019 3:42PM
Yep. ** -- EDGEMAN 10/10/2019 11:44AM
Guess we will never know for sure....but it’s somewhat plausible. ** -- RJHokie 10/10/2019 09:56AM
The reason I threw that out was because... -- EDGEMAN 10/10/2019 10:44AM
The ACC asked BC to join the conference so it could host a conference -- VTHokie2000 10/09/2019 4:36PM
ACC asked BC for mostly same reasons B1G wanted UMd & Rutgers ** -- marcbvtgm 10/15/2019 3:30PM
I think what MaskedRacer said or at least meant was (concerning Pitt) -- Atlee Hokie 10/10/2019 07:53AM
Thank you. Correct interpretation -- MaskedRacer 10/10/2019 11:23AM
Maybe so, but that wasn't an option given that the ACC invited -- VTHokie2000 10/10/2019 08:53AM
Speaking of the ACC's precious "academic" standards, funny how ... -- Atlee Hokie 10/10/2019 09:23AM
Respectfully acc has helped Louisville -- Mercury 10/11/2019 11:22AM
Louisville has a scandal every 6-8 years whether it needs one or not -- Tailgate Guru 10/11/2019 4:49PM
I agree and I always thought the ACC should have invited WVU -- VTHokie2000 10/10/2019 10:26AM
That would have worked well -- Millpoint 10/11/2019 05:33AM
Agree with this post. Just note though.... -- MaskedRacer 10/10/2019 11:27AM
Maryland did stay when BC joined the conference though -- VTHokie2000 10/10/2019 11:56AM
The primary reason BC is in is Donna Shelala, the former Miami president -- RJHokie 10/09/2019 4:30PM
