What's this?

BC is disappointing. I see Miami making an effort though.

I think Mark Richt will be good for Miami, and Jim Larranaga has been very positive for Miami as well in basketball.

I've seen BC do a lot better in the recent past. I hope they turn it around.

Stewart Mandel: Rutgers in the B1G even more miserable than imagined. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 12:24PM

It's sour grapes to think UMD and Rutgers were not good adds -- lawhokie 10/10/2016 9:31PM

All B1G schools agree on Rutgers, about 10 agree on MD ** -- BigCrumpy 10/11/2016 5:00PM

For the hundredth time, B1G wasn't looking for good football programs -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 08:30AM

They were trying to keep the ACC from stealing PSU, Mich, NorWest and India -- BigCrumpy 10/11/2016 1:24PM

That's completely false. Those schools weren't going anywhere. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 2:27PM

So you are claiming Maryland's courtroom motions were a lie?? ** -- BigCrumpy 10/15/2016 12:08PM

What are you even talking about? Got any info to pass on? -- reestuart 10/17/2016 11:50AM

That's true, but I do think the ACC was trying to make a play for PSU... -- Calamitous 10/11/2016 4:19PM

About 33% of Penn State alumni/fans were... -- Old Line Hokie 10/11/2016 5:49PM

This probably comes as a shock but fans/alumni have very little impact -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 9:31PM

Don't forget the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins ** -- reestuart 10/11/2016 2:14PM

And the Yankees, the Flyers and the Wizards. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 2:28PM

So tell us something new. -- chuckd4vt 10/11/2016 10:17AM

Definitely good academic schools, but the they are an easy win argument is -- Stech 10/11/2016 07:44AM

There is no reason can't pass schools like Iowa and Minn et al. -- lawhokie 10/11/2016 08:38AM

Yep. Densely populated state w/ tons of B1G alums. Good call. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 10:25PM

Probably more than you think. ** -- RJHokie 10/10/2016 10:36PM

There are lots of ACC students in Boston and OOS students that come south -- Stech 10/11/2016 07:40AM

Jersey and Md. are 1&2. Too many great Us in Mass. for that. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/11/2016 10:17AM

LOL. Replace the FCS games with Rutgers. Same difference. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 9:45PM

Every other school in the B1G wishes Rutgers would go away -- BigCrumpy 10/10/2016 5:40PM

Greg McElroy rants on Sirius XM. You add teams for Star Power, Sizzle. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 5:31PM

Your thoughts on Yukon are exactly why I think they'd make a great addition -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 6:11PM

I've advocated for UConn here. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 7:53PM

Rutgers is terrible... -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 12:39PM

The problem is that no one in NJ cares about college sports... -- Mr. Touchdown 10/10/2016 4:34PM

Ahem, Go Hokies! ** -- NJHokie74 10/11/2016 2:25PM

I notice you didn't attend Rutgers. ** -- Mr. Touchdown 10/14/2016 12:08PM

The problem is their administration - the interest had been there -- HokieMJL 10/10/2016 6:58PM

BC's and Miami's problem too. -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 6:23PM

When you've never done it. Never had support to do it. You won't do it. ** -- HOO86 10/10/2016 2:05PM

With them it's not just football you have to worry about. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 12:50PM

Let's wait and see what all that Big 10 money will do ten years from now. -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 1:13PM

Yeah, I don't see the hand-wringing over Rutgers. Nobody wanted -- reestuart 10/10/2016 2:14PM

Their football program hasn't been all that bad the last dozen years. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 1:25PM

Re: Their football program hasn't been all that bad the last dozen years. -- SoCloseHokie 10/10/2016 2:14PM

UVA has 58 wins the last 12 seasons. Rutgers 85. Get real. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 9:57PM

They have the potential to field a Meeeechigan or OSU level of team -- EDGEMAN 10/10/2016 1:29PM

9 bowl appearances and 85-60 record the last 12 seasons. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 1:50PM

Delany wanted TV markets and a wedge into the ACC ... -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 3:37PM

Not everyone thinks badly watering down your football product is smart. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 2:28PM

Take a look at OSU's 2013 (pre-Ruts) schedule -- lawhokie 10/10/2016 9:40PM

Bit too early to tell. See what they do w/ that extra $40 million or so. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 3:31PM

What $40 million? $400 million divided by 14 adds up to ? -- HOO86 10/10/2016 3:45PM

That doesn't take into account another penny coming in. -- reestuart 10/10/2016 3:52PM

It's not $40 million. It's $28 million. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 4:06PM

I'm sure their fans followed them to Fox, but no one else did... -- EDGEMAN 10/11/2016 5:10PM

It's not like Fox is getting every game. They'll still be all over -- reestuart 10/11/2016 5:27PM

Sorry, but I'll go with what every single report out there is -- reestuart 10/10/2016 5:37PM

Within 5 yrs, Rutgers is EASILY looking at $40million more than BE days. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 4:22PM

And they will still sux. -- Maroon Doom 10/10/2016 5:31PM

No doubt Rutgers will make more than in the Big East. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 4:37PM

With all that money the SEC and B1G are taking in. -- Maroon Doom 10/10/2016 3:44PM

I really wish all of these 14+ team superconferences would go to pods -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 12:35PM

I was hoping the NCAA would have waived the division requirement... -- BROman Hokie 10/10/2016 1:11PM

I don't like that setup for the simple reason it would be possible to have -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 1:33PM

Perfectly? Tell that to Miami who plays FSU every yr instead of Wake. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 1:57PM

Then do away with the crossover game. That or go to pods. -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 2:01PM

OR, you just have division games count. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 2:03PM

Jim Delany organized opposition to it at the last minute. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 1:25PM

He told us why. Swoff wasn't sharing his intentions. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 1:54PM

I'm all for it, but I think we have to be at 16. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 1:05PM

The only problem with bringing in Yukon and a football-only member is -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 1:41PM

Not necessarily. That's when you look at 18 or 20. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 1:43PM

Would you be okay with UVA not playing UNC every year? -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 1:18PM

Would the ACC be willing to give that up as an annual conference game? -- VTHokie2000 10/11/2016 11:31AM

I would hope that the ACC would want to preserve it. -- HOO86 10/11/2016 1:18PM

I would agree with you that it is a rivalry worth preserving -- VTHokie2000 10/11/2016 1:41PM

Yes ** -- BigCrumpy 10/10/2016 5:42PM

We would schedule non-conference games. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 1:22PM

Just think -- BigCrumpy 10/11/2016 5:02PM

A big difference between the VMI-VT rivalry and the UNC-UVA rivalry -- VTHokie2000 10/11/2016 5:26PM
