Don't get me wrong I would still like Maryland in the ACC, but it's because

of their location. We can fill the stadium up with Hokies and I wish we played them every year.

However, their football fans are not WVU, their basketball definitely, but football, not a big loss as far as fans go.

What could have been had the ACC imploded in 2012 -- I85Hokie 07/09/2017 5:44PM

VT not an AAU school, UVA, UNC and Duke are -- VaTechie 07/10/2017 12:15PM

Cough, cough...Nebraska ** -- EDGEMAN 07/10/2017 1:34PM

Some say it was payback -- mrcaniac 07/10/2017 6:01PM

I think it was mostly the way that research dollars were counted. -- DanNUandVT 07/11/2017 11:46AM

Michigan and Wisconsin were two of the teams that led the charge -- dayooper 07/10/2017 10:48PM

Not according to UN-L faithfuls conspiracy theories -- mrcaniac 07/10/2017 11:45PM

Michigan and Wisconsin wanted them UNL out at least a year before -- dayooper 07/11/2017 08:49AM

I hear ya, but Nebraska was AAU, then loss it. -- VaTechie 07/10/2017 1:39PM

It was well known by every member of the B10 before the invitation -- EDGEMAN 07/10/2017 11:14PM

I suspect, both of those go out the window at first convenience ** -- jmanatVT 07/10/2017 12:25PM

The flaw to that logic is Rutgers. If the B1G was likely to pull in . . . -- UEMcGill 07/10/2017 09:43AM

VT and UVA would have never ended up in B1G together -- Tercules 07/10/2017 02:30AM

Strong B1G East. I don't see the B12 leaving BC or Syracuse to take any of -- ChrisLords 07/10/2017 12:38AM

For some reason, don't think CU & F$U were close to leaving -- EDGEMAN 07/09/2017 10:06PM

Agree except for the MD comment. That was a huge loss. ** -- reestuart 07/10/2017 12:03PM

Huge in what way? ** -- Stech 07/10/2017 7:50PM

In just about every way possible? We traded an original member, -- reestuart 07/11/2017 08:37AM

Is Louisville that much more of a "commuter" school? -- daveinop 07/11/2017 1:05PM

Yes. Over 9K of their 22K undergrads are from Jefferson County, and -- reestuart 07/11/2017 4:27PM

Looks like Louisville is the future of higher education ** -- VictoryTurkey 07/14/2017 06:58AM

I would rather have Maryland, but Louisville has been better in big sports. -- Stech 07/11/2017 08:38AM

Maryland was a loss mostly in terms of perception. -- Late 80s Hokie 07/11/2017 10:36AM

By losing "the WVU of the ACC" -- EDGEMAN 07/10/2017 11:11PM

What fans? Picture of the Maryland Spring Football Game. -- Stech 07/11/2017 07:05AM

Don't get me wrong I would still like Maryland in the ACC, but it's because -- Stech 07/11/2017 07:09AM

Just think, if Maryland didn't leave we wouldn't have the midwest drum beat -- HOO86 07/11/2017 8:54PM
