It's always about


the absolute bottom line? Yes, we need to be competitive financially to remain competitive athletically, that's why we had to make the ACCN happen. Almost all your posts are worded such that you would have VT change conferences like women change clothes for as long as it brought in more money.

If the ACCN fell through, then yeah maybe we look, but I'm not terribly concerned it happened a few years later than it could or should have. Guess what, the SEC and B1G are likely to always make more than the ACC - regardless of how it is managed - but if Clemson and FSU can do it with ACC funding so can we.

While I want our scheduling to improve with respect to playing other teams in the conference more often, and to improve our OOC teams, I'd still rather be in the heart of the conference footprint (where I can drive to a lot of away conference games) than be on the edge of the conference region where only a couple of away venues are drive-able for a weekend trip. - as long as we can be competitive enough to make the CFP a feasible goal - and Clemson and FSU proves it is.

We don't have to have the biggest house with the fanciest cars to be successful, as long as we are in the same neighborhood we can do fine.
