[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 881684, member: 1640"] Thanks for the vote of confidence. Some of us are coveting membership in the B1G in a bad way right now and regretting that we let this option slip away from us a while back. The B1G makes sense for several reasons: 1) We have seen in the past that there are high level recruits in the south who would actually prefer to play in that conference but sometimes the cost, distance and weather holds them back. 2) Tech fits better with more academically minded institutions. 3) Tech is going to have less and less money for other sports without the cash infusion a conference like the B1G can supply. 4) If the ACC loses quality members and/or folds Tech will have few good options for growing its sports programs. 5) A lot of us know midwesterners in the south who would be more likely to support Tech if “we were in a real conference” (like my wife - Michigan) 😊 6) We would likely have more than the current one game a year that is a sell out. 7) Some of us are tired of trying to make rivalries out of schools that we find uninteresting whereas at least 7 of the teams in the B1G would almost instantly be appealing to play. Just saying. [/QUOTE]
