What's this?

Re: Yes. And he's absolutely correct

So the two of you are telling us that the SEC wants Virginia students to go south and we want students from the northeast and that drives conference affiliation for athletics? I don't buy that argument for a minute. Explain please ND coming to the ACC except for football and the Big12 taking WV and I could go on and on with recent conference expansions. Do you honestly think Tech's enrollment would decrease and not increase if we joined the SEC? (drink some coffee and wake up b/4 you reply - please)
