People in DC watch SEC football regardless.


Which is all the more reason that any new DC viewers that Va Tech may bring is simply gravy. The state of Virginia itself is a good enough TV market to pursue even if you don't add any of the DC metro. UNC would be the absolute best but that has 0% chance of happening. VT people are a solid 50/50 on joining the SEC and are far less attached politically to the ACC than any of the North Carolina teams.

If push came to shove I don't see UVA people putting up a huge fight to keep Va Tech considering they didn't want them coming with them to the ACC in the first place. There are too many Big East teams the ACC could raid to find a replacement anyway for them to protest too harshly to kill a deal

you have no idea what you are talking about, when VT pissed and moaned about not getting their initial ACC invite they sued the ACC with other Big East schools and when big brother UVA was used as the vote to stop expansion completely politics forced VT into the picture and has attached the two schools at the hip.
