VT says they're in with or without Miami. Miami has even more pressure now. I think it's going to happen.

VT first sues to stop teams from joining the ACC, and then they join the ACC. Talk about not sticking up for what you say. I guess Miami is going too.

VT has Always been envious of UVA's status in the ACC. VT and UVA had no choice with the Governor and Attorney General pushing all their buttons. Rightnow i'm laughing my *** off at the prospect of Miami not joining at all and leaving the ACC with Va.Tech alone from the Big east. Tech has been ok at best since Vick left, but God helpyou if you tell a hokie fan theyregoing to struggle like hell to be a top 4 team in the ACC.

No they won't. If VT was in the ACC last year they would have easily won the conference title.
ACC football sucks. Last year it was worse than Big East football.

You're wrong about ACC football..
Virginia and Georgia Tech have former pro coaches running pro-style offense now. Their competitiveness has improved and will continue to do so.

As I count it, since 1981 three different teams from the ACC have won five National Championships. The Big East has won five in the same time span. All won by who ? Miami.
Now what conference sucks in football ?
After Miami joins the ACC you will have at least 3 perennial powerhouses in all three major sports categories. Football, Basketball, and Baseball. On any given year the conference could have four or five.
People have said that this is about cash. Why, yes it is. Cash from football games with an attendance of at least 60,000 at all football games except for Duke and Wake Forest. Those two schools make up their downfall in this area through their basketball programs and it's attendance.
Basketball ? In the past 21 years 12 ACC teams have been in the NCAA Basketball championship.

In cash and competitiveness the Big East does not match up..That's why it's a done deal...
