I think what happens here MIGHT make a SMALL difference.


Perception can indeed become reality. I've witnessed ideas posted on TSL spread over into the larger VT fanbase many times. So when someone makes a "the ACC's great for VT" post, I feel it's quite important to point out the numerous reasons why that isn't so. And frankly, I also just detest "be quite and let the experts handle things" and "tow the party line" sentiments expressed here too.

Anyhow, folks can agree with me or not about the ACC, but I think we can all agree that a school with VT's football history and passionate fanbase shouldn't be sitting at 40th place when it comes to athletics department revenue.

If the ACC can get VT into the top 15 or 20, which is where I believe VT belongs, then I'm good with the ACC. Right now, VT needs more money if it wants to compete for nattys. PERIOD.

As a 19 year season ticket holder, I also want to be regularly hyped about conference football opponents. It's pretty rare for that to be the case now. UNC last year was OK, but that had more to do with Frank Beamer than anything. Is our league providing good football schedules? Is it even providing the best schedules it possibly could?
