So glad we don't have to worry about our future....

I can remember prior to Big East membership, worrying that we might get left out of the "big picture" in the college football landscape. A red headed step child without a conference. Living in Chapel Thrill and working in Durham, I feel for ECU. A school that "is out in the middle of nowhere, that doesn't have a big TV market, and has a decent football team" who would want to add this team to their conference? Sound familiar doesn't it! Exactly what they had been saying about VT. Frank said once we got into a decent football conference it really helped VT grow, I wonder if the same is true for ECU The trouble is their options aren't as good as ours was. 5 Power conferences, 4 about maxed out and one probably on the verge of collapse. So there is really nowhere for ECU to go in the future......

I would rather see... -- Hokiedc 08/04/2016 8:14PM

OK. Texas must be relishing to jump into that division. NOT. -- HOO86 08/04/2016 4:14PM

Not real knowledgable -- Mercury 08/04/2016 3:00PM

I'd guess that Nebraska would have almost no say so. -- reestuart 08/05/2016 10:03AM

UT is a yes vote from NE. Sorry to let you know that. ** -- nebraskafaninwi 08/04/2016 11:39PM

Agreed. Zippo fear of TU dominating B1G. OSU, Michigan, PSU won't allow it. ** -- chuckd4vt 08/05/2016 12:52AM

Pac 10 (at the time) was interested in -- Old Line Hokie 08/04/2016 5:48PM

If a conference/school is not considered to be the leader of the pack/group -- VTHokie2000 08/04/2016 1:39PM

A bunch of assumptions masquerading as facts resulting in the usual Q&A's** -- marcbvtgm 08/04/2016 12:59PM

I still say that the LHN will greatly complicate the TX switch. -- Mr. Touchdown 08/04/2016 12:28PM

Pac-12 would be easier. They have six regional Pac networks... -- Freddyburg Hokie 08/05/2016 3:35PM

Ownership of LHN will be a problem -- mrcaniac 08/06/2016 12:58AM

Conference with 4 divisions and 4 teams...is he poaching our post? :-) -- Stech 08/04/2016 12:22PM

It's the way to go. Only question is 16 or 20. ** -- HOO86 08/04/2016 4:15PM

I actually like 20 better because some really good teams would be left out -- Stech 08/04/2016 7:05PM

Yeah, though he's wrong about the conference "playoffs" -- hokiekev 2k4 08/04/2016 3:32PM

For public schools, if state governments start reducing the amount -- VTHokie2000 08/05/2016 11:53AM

I'm waiting on the IRS to remove tax exempt status from ... -- Atlee Hokie 08/05/2016 3:02PM

I do think it will happen eventually, but it will probably need -- VTHokie2000 08/05/2016 3:38PM

Yep...just have two divisions play each other and rotate every 2 years -- Stech 08/04/2016 7:02PM
