I disagree that SEC never showed interested prior to VT
joining the ACC. When I was at VT ('96-'00), I remember the CT doing several articles around the time VT was deciding whether to renew its commitment to the Big East Football Conference. It was during the time that VT leveraged its position to eventually full member into the Big East. Anyways prior to VT renewing its commitment, there was a CT article that talked about VT's options if it didn't renew. It mentioned that the SEC was looking at expanding to 16 members. It also mentioned that Miami, VT, and WVU would be apart of that expansion. It didn't mention a 4th school, so I am assuming that school would have come from another conference. I don't remember seeing a follow up article in the CT on why the SEC's expansion plan fizzled out.
