VT to the B1G

[Forty_Sixand2]

It is very much alive right now.

One thing that I could see swaying VT to the Big 12 is the "less mouths to feed" aspect. Sure the B1G and SEC are going to absolutely trounce the other conferences in TV revenue, but they'll still have to split it between 14...maybe 16 teams depending on how things land.

 

[Red_Alert]

Norfolk, Chesapeake, Va Beach, Newport News footprint will be the next target IMO. That means VT.

That's mid-Atlantic and any further south would be difficult and make little sense.

VT would also add appeal to the Baltimore/DC markets.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

Yup. 14 teams is already more than I wanted. So screw it, let's go 16. Give me ND and VT.

 

[bone3421]

im guessing b1g and sec go to 16---

with big 12 jumping to 14...maybe 16 if they get the schools they want

pac is landlocked

 

[ForkEmBucky]

That's the thing. If the SEC and B1G go 16, they have their pick. That's four teams the Big 12 wanted and probably couldn't get. You're going to join forces with the Pac 12. Embrace it. At least you'll get to beat up Colorado again. You can run but you can't hide, Buffaloes!

 

[bone3421]

they will not join the pac.......fsu/clemson/.....gt/vt/louisville will be the 14 is going to be my guess with vt of course being the wild card

The PAC is landlocked?

Please explain.

$$$$

and is there much of a difference between Maryland's football program and VT's?

 

[Red_Alert]

I had no fucking idea that California, Oregon, and Washington were landlocked. I learnt a lot today.

Anybody else?

who are they going to get in expansion.......they are not going to jump across b1g/big 12 territory all the way to the east coast

so they are limited in their choices...aka landlocked

 

[TigerBait1971]

the Pacific is over-rated as a body of water...

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

Well they cant see Russia from their front porch.

 

[BucksFanInGA]

Apparently you don't understand.

I have you confused with nobody. I took your post for what it was. Pure ignorance.

How would adding UVA to the B1G over Rutgers and Maryland have enhanced the chances of BTN being added to tv packages in NY/NJ (#1 tv market) and Baltimore/DC (#4 tv market)?

Let's hear it slick.

yup... ignorance... that i'd rather see OSU line up against VT every year (and I figure that UVA is part of the VT package) as opposed to lining up against a BE patsy and an ACC also ran...

you got me...

are you always this abrasive or did I catch you at a bad time?

I get the TV market move, I really do... I promise... however, it brings nothing interesting to watch on Saturdays, I could care less about the extra revenue as I'm no longer in school...

Right, luckily Colorado has that Pacific boundary or the B12 would still be stuck with them.

 

[bone3421]

landlocked adj. referring to a parcel of real property which has no access or egress (entry or exit) to a public street and cannot be reached except by crossing another's property. In such a case there is an "implied easement" over the adjoining lot from which it was created (carved out).

here you go smartguy

acc/expansion is "public street" and pac is blocked by b1g/big12 real estate

asshat

 

[bone3421]

good ole nebraska education gotta make people spell everything out for them

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

Colorado is an example of them going to any market that makes sense financially. There are no bounfaroes to be locked into.

 

[bone3421]

okay so who are they going to expand to 16 with.........

Landlocked:

Almost or entirely surrounded by land. Having no coastline or seaport.

I find what you're alluding to as laughable considering Texas used "joining the PAC" and taking OU, TT, and A&M with them as a means to threaten fellow members into compliance.

The PAC's options are no more limited than WVU to the Big XII were.
