The ACC isn't hung up on AAU, but Virginia Tech is
...our university mission is to be a research U. UCONN is not that. Maryland has a top engineering school and a huge research budget. Overall university rankings don't mean that much to the VT admin because a low ranking of our sociology program is irrelevant so long as engineering is in the top 25. Maryland is exactly the type of school that VT wants in its conference.
Everything that I hear and read from the VT administration indicates that we want to be a B1G school. When the ACC loses Maryland and the B1G scoops them and research U Rutgers, I can only shake my head.
