With all due respect


UVA didn't do anything for us out of the goodness of their hearts. They were pressured by the governor amd legislature to give us a landing spot after the Big East folded. And for good reason. There would have been a lot of pissed off VT constituents next election day.
And why should VT sacrifice the betterment of our university so that we don't somehow insult UVA?
I would bet UVA as a whole wouldn't have given a damn if we moved to the SEC. I think they would have welcomed it.
For comparison. Do you think Bama would care 2 squirts what Auburn thought of them regarding their plans for Crimson Tide football?
I'll just agree to disagree that it was a necessary decision at the time. That decision cost us 10's of millions of football dollars and has helped put us in the financial and recruiting bind we have been in since.
