re: Oklahoma and Virginia Tech

Actually the Washington DC metro area is huge and although the main college there is Georgetown, Virginia Tech dominates the area. UVA is a joke, Maryland is split between DC and Baltimore. A recent Washington Post study found that there are more VT alumni in the DC metro area than any other school, by far. Virginia Tech also dominates the Richmond, Norfolk, Virginia Beach metro area of almost another 3 million people. Virginia Tech owns the State of Virginia - 7 million plus, and is the dominant College Team in the DC market. If, and I say IF, the SEC is wanting to expand, taking VT is a no-brainer for them. I and may VT alum would love to join the SEC.

Wrong Buddy. UVA has no interest in the SEC and VT has no loyalty to UVA. Nobody in the General Assembly has, or would prevent such a move. Our new Governor is a relative fool and not 1/10th as savvy as Mark Warner who pulled off the VT to ACC. There may be many roadblocks to VT in the SEC, but being "tied to the hip of UVA" is certainly not one of them.

Well that's one thing we CAN agree on. I didn't vote for him either. Gov McD probably cares more about how Regent's does in the Bible Bowl, than whether or not VT goes to SEC!
