Re: Official NEW Expansion Thread: Maryland reportedly going to B1G I think that's all you really need offer, honestly.

Re: Official NEW Expansion Thread: Maryland reportedly going to B1G That guy is a fraud. For a West Virginia football blogger shouldn't he know something about WVU? He was blindsided when they jumped into the Big 12. - I'd take the rumors as such. Just rumors for the moment. If message...

Re: next round of expansion already getting underway It will be months before that's decided. The ACC has every incentive to fight that one tooth and nail.

Re: next round of expansion already getting underway Then you want UNC and UVa. Question, I realize y'all have club Lacrosse. Is there any interest in fielding a varsity team? Neither UNC or UVa is going to give up Lacrosse, or Soccer for that matter.

Re: next round of expansion already getting underway Richmond forced the ACC to accept Virginia Tech. Blacksburg was worried about getting stuck in a dying Big East (and this was circa 2000) so Richmond got involved. Syracuse was effectively dis-invited and Tech took their spot in the first...

Re: next round of expansion already getting underway I don't know what will happen, if we get invites from both the Big 10 and the SEC we'll certainly listen to both sides. I can only hope we'll look south though. Virginia is in a strange place right now. Northern Virginia is such a different...

Re: next round of expansion already getting underway UVa grad here. I think most of our alumni would prefer to stay in a southern conference. UVa remains a deeply conservative school and I think there's a very real reluctance to tie our fate to a bunch of midwestern universities. The...
