VT not an AAU school, UVA, UNC and Duke are

Not sure what would happen. B1G wanted continuous states with AAU membership.

If they had to have continuous states, than Maryland, Rutgers, UVA, and UNC assuming all ACC schools were willing to leave Duke behind.

I think it was mostly the way that research dollars were counted. -- DanNUandVT 07/11/2017 11:46AM

Michigan and Wisconsin were two of the teams that led the charge -- dayooper 07/10/2017 10:48PM

Michigan and Wisconsin wanted them UNL out at least a year before -- dayooper 07/11/2017 08:49AM

I hear ya, but Nebraska was AAU, then loss it. -- VaTechie 07/10/2017 1:39PM

It was well known by every member of the B10 before the invitation -- EDGEMAN 07/10/2017 11:14PM

I suspect, both of those go out the window at first convenience ** -- jmanatVT 07/10/2017 12:25PM

The flaw to that logic is Rutgers. If the B1G was likely to pull in . . . -- UEMcGill 07/10/2017 09:43AM

VT and UVA would have never ended up in B1G together -- Tercules 07/10/2017 02:30AM

Strong B1G East. I don't see the B12 leaving BC or Syracuse to take any of -- ChrisLords 07/10/2017 12:38AM

For some reason, don't think CU & F$U were close to leaving -- EDGEMAN 07/09/2017 10:06PM

Agree except for the MD comment. That was a huge loss. ** -- reestuart 07/10/2017 12:03PM

Huge in what way? ** -- Stech 07/10/2017 7:50PM

In just about every way possible? We traded an original member, -- reestuart 07/11/2017 08:37AM

Is Louisville that much more of a "commuter" school? -- daveinop 07/11/2017 1:05PM

Yes. Over 9K of their 22K undergrads are from Jefferson County, and -- reestuart 07/11/2017 4:27PM

Looks like Louisville is the future of higher education ** -- VictoryTurkey 07/14/2017 06:58AM

I would rather have Maryland, but Louisville has been better in big sports. -- Stech 07/11/2017 08:38AM

Maryland was a loss mostly in terms of perception. -- Late 80s Hokie 07/11/2017 10:36AM

By losing "the WVU of the ACC" -- EDGEMAN 07/10/2017 11:11PM

What fans? Picture of the Maryland Spring Football Game. -- Stech 07/11/2017 07:05AM

Don't get me wrong I would still like Maryland in the ACC, but it's because -- Stech 07/11/2017 07:09AM

Just think, if Maryland didn't leave we wouldn't have the midwest drum beat -- HOO86 07/11/2017 8:54PM
