Miami is a tiny private school with no money.

Losing the Orange Bowl may have been the death of that program. The best thing that could happen to it is the Marlins leave town and they repurpose that stadium so the Canes no longer have to play in Jimmy Buffet's barf bowl out in BF Opa Locka.

I'd rather have Miami in the ACC than USF but if push comes to shove, Tampa gives you most of what you get with Miami. And USF is a larger, state school with a great deal of untapped potential athletically.

As for Pitt, I kind of feel like that whole "great relationship with the Steelers" is a bit of a cop out for not wanting to invest in football (or not hiring the people who know how).

Tell Pitt and Miami we may have to let one of them go... -- crabcake77 08/10/2017 7:33PM

No thanks ** -- Hamburger 08/11/2017 3:02PM

In Pitt's case, Heinz Field is only 4.5 miles away. -- HOO86 08/10/2017 8:41PM

May be in the minority, but I like having Pitt in the conference. -- EDGEMAN 08/11/2017 10:58AM

Don't know why folks wouldn't want Pitt in the league -- Hamburger 08/11/2017 3:01PM

Pittsburgh is a fine city and Pitt is a great rival for VT. -- crabcake77 08/11/2017 4:01PM

What did they put in the spot where Pitt Stadium used to be? -- Hokie CPA 08/14/2017 12:40PM

Some dumb academic building. Bah! Football should have been the priority. -- Late 80s Hokie 08/15/2017 11:27AM

The ACC wanted presence in those states. -- HOO86 08/11/2017 11:10AM

The U Presidents that vote expansion look at where they get OOS students... -- Stech 08/11/2017 12:43PM

It's my understanding that UCLA has the furthest away stadium. -- Atlee Hokie 08/11/2017 04:07AM

Miami is a tiny private school with no money. -- crabcake77 08/10/2017 10:58PM

Seems to me that the U has the same size endowment as VT.... -- CrystalCoveHokie 08/10/2017 10:57PM

Does endowment (or operating/research budget) spill over into athletics? -- crabcake77 08/11/2017 12:56PM

I'm in that camp too, and I like having them in our conference. -- EDGEMAN 08/11/2017 11:04AM

Now, if only the U could get their stuff together and build on campus. -- Hokie CPA 08/10/2017 1:37PM

1) They don't have the excess land and 2) The town probably would allow it. -- Atlee Hokie 08/11/2017 04:01AM

Dunno where given that the campus is surrounded by commerical -- VTHokie2000 08/10/2017 1:48PM

At least two problems with that suggestion -- EDGEMAN 08/10/2017 1:58PM

Also land acquisition -- Mercury 08/10/2017 3:18PM

Looking at the side of campus adjacent to San Amaro Drive, -- Hokie CPA 08/10/2017 2:26PM

The new Indoor Practice Facility is taking away that top practice field. -- HOO86 08/10/2017 9:13PM

Parking? And zoning fights from adjoining residents who know -- Femoyer Hokie 08/10/2017 4:22PM

I guess Yaron Field could work assuming it isn't designated -- VTHokie2000 08/10/2017 2:34PM

If they go with site 2, they could always put the track around the football -- Hokie CPA 08/10/2017 2:43PM

A potential downside with site 2 is the practice field right -- VTHokie2000 08/10/2017 2:51PM

FWIW (and according to Mapquest) Dixie Hwy (Rt 1) runs -- VTHokie2000 08/10/2017 2:13PM

why are all those people standing on the tiled sidewalk to nowhere? -- HtownHokie 08/10/2017 11:07AM
