What's this?

So did this high level source

say if we were actively lobbying for a slot in the expansion?

Couple of numbers to ponder -- culpmania 11/06/2021 11:11AM

Wow! We Missed the opportunity to be South Carolina -- Hokdawg 11/06/2021 12:32PM

LOL. Ask Vandy, Mizzou, etc. how great the SEC is -- CPVT3 11/06/2021 11:34AM

I guess it depends on what you are satisfied with -- culpmania 11/06/2021 12:51PM

Delusions of grandeur. We can't even beat ACC... ** -- CPVT3 11/06/2021 2:02PM

Think about recruiting -- HokieBoy 11/06/2021 12:07PM

Not sure that ship ever sailed past Blacksburg. ** -- EDGEMAN 11/06/2021 11:15AM

Well, maybe someone closer to the situation can answer that -- culpmania 11/06/2021 11:25AM

I believe there was a chance/push early on -- AirForceHokie77 11/06/2021 11:18AM

Urban legend, as opposed to Urban Meyer. The SEC never, never gave VT -- UEMcGill 11/06/2021 11:44AM

Is this just a feeling or do you have first hand knowledge of the situation -- culpmania 11/06/2021 12:27PM

First hand, extremely high up in the administration. Extremely high up. ** -- UEMcGill 11/06/2021 12:31PM

We actively lobbied for decades to get where we could, and where we needed -- UEMcGill 11/06/2021 12:52PM

You are right. No official invitation was ever sent. -- jocknerd 11/06/2021 11:49AM

This aligns with what I’ve been told.. -- AirForceHokie77 11/06/2021 11:58AM

The closest we ever got to the SEC was when South Carolina got in. -- UEMcGill 11/06/2021 11:55AM

There would be no formal invitation until it was known it -- Pride_and_Joy 11/06/2021 11:54AM

I know we were dying to get out of the Big Least, and the SEC passed. -- EDGEMAN 11/06/2021 11:21AM

That was 2003. SEC feelers came later. -- jocknerd 11/06/2021 11:47AM

This is my feeling exactly -- culpmania 11/06/2021 12:12PM

That explains a lot. Thanks 👊🏾 ** -- AirForceHokie77 11/06/2021 12:01PM
