Bout 2 things are important in con. realignment 1)payouts 2)schedules.


And the ACC has as much farther behind in the payout department right now. Just look at the revenue charts to figure that one out. And as much as you guys think Maryland sucks, they currently bring in more money than all but 2 ACC schools. And they have far more GUARANTEED in the near future. I see little reason VT should be receiving second tier conference payouts.

And about schedules. I like some ACC bball. Pretty good stuff. But myself, along with 95% of my Hokie brethren, are FAR MORE interested in the football program. I plan things like vacations, work events, family functions around Virginia Tech Football. A big game weekend in Blacksburg is like nothing else. So howabout those ACC schedules? We play Clemson and FSU in Blacksburg once every TWELVE years. TWELVE years. We played both those schools in Blacksburg more often as independents. This league can and should do better.

I've watched this league bungle opportunity after opportunity to provide better money and schedules for Virginia Tech. For 15 years, I've followed this stuff. And honest to goodness, the missteps they made were predicted to be missteps by the majority of the posters on this board, including myself. I promise you. It's like they are trying to screw this thing up the decisions have been so bad.

So, this is a Conference Realignment board. Thus, it IS pretty much all about the money and the football schedules.

And you're right, I don't focus purely on money in my real life. I could currently make a ton more money doing something else for a living. My life priorities are quite OK. If you wanna talk about things like charitable giving and serving others, I'm almost always down. In a way, it's kinda what I do.

But, when it comes to VT and it's conference, money is a REALLY important aspect of that. Probably the most important.
