Basketball plays a lot into this too. Both have really good women's teams....traditionally. but both fight for western NC/VA recruits.

Yeah, u’re right. Didn’t even take that into consideration. Again, we’ve been so hyper focused on CFB, not realizing other sports are impacted by such decisions. Which is y the B1G was happy to take UCLA as well b/c of their other sports pedigree outside of CFB & the B1G has felt inferior to both the ACC & SEC in b-ball.

Me personally, if I'm the B10, Im on the phone with UNC, Duke, Miami, GT, and dare I say it FSU, like yesterday. The entire SEC would have to fly helicopters into Florida to market themselves. If you can cover both coasts and the southeast in both football and basketball, you're the pied piper of college athletics. Not to mention, it would likely force ND to be a player for a change.

As much I despise VT, they are more SECish than UVA, which has beautiful campus and everything but has more of a Chardonnay crowd.

For real. If you are the SEC, and you want to get a foothold into Virginia, why would you choose to bring UVA over VT? The only things that come to mind would be academics, and sports other than football. But that ain't what this sh*t's about for the SEC.

The joke is on Mr Long for getting his news for a swimming website.

Yeah, I agree. Right now the Big has the North, the East, & now The West on lock. If they can poach UNC, Duke, Miami, FSU, they’ll have a stranglehold on the 4 corners of the U.S. That market share??! My Lawd. That’s at least a $1.5b/yr contract. W/ 20 teams?
 
That is the EXACT mindset. Keep in mind, the two types of commercials you see on Saturdays, Financial products (Investment baking-Pacific Life BoA), and products that college age students can buy. (Nissan, pop tarts, Hot Pockets) It would ba a boon for MSP to get a commercial in the NE and westcoast. Two major financial epicenters.

The SEC will still have John Deer, local car dealerships, and dentists. :ROFLMAO: With a reach of North Florida to Texas. I'm going to stop being a nerd now and get back to football. lol

Florida has kept Miami out and SC had kept Clemson out, but that’s old news. Too much money out there now.

If anyone thinks schools can keep other in-state schools out after seeing TAMU and Texas unfold then they’re living on a different planet. Money is way too big now.

UVA is definitely closer to Tidewater, Richmond and Baltimore-DC TV markets so maybe this is a major factor.

I didn't put too much stock in that. ATM was new to the conference, didn't expect them to have enough sway to do anything. But, I do put stock in our insiders saying UF can't block us anymore. **** the Gators, let's get some big boy money and keep this and keep this train rolling
 
I think UVA is a better fit for the Big10. High academic standards, snooty fanbase, they’re practically the Michigan of the South

Cribby the influx of NIL money added to the Conferences has made everything become twisted.
