Academically the Big Ten is a better fit than the SEC for VT


However, if we are talking about developing new conference rivalries for VT in all the sports, then is the Big Ten still the obvious choice? It would seem to me that majority of the Big Ten schools and their fans would view VT as an "outsider." In terms of rivalries with existing Big Ten schools, then VT would probably have the following:

Rutgers - the Big Ten's version of the BC rivalry
Penn State - one way rivalry for VT
UMD - one way rivalry for UMD or lukewarm two way rivalry

If VT joined the SEC, then could it develop more rivalries with the SEC schools? I would think the likely candidates would be Kentucky, Tenn, Vandy, Georgia, and South Carolina.
