Yeah, being a VT fan we do have a very weak OOC schedule. Don't know why they came up with that one. I would love to see VT be the 14th SEC team as it sure looks as though A&M is all but SEC bound.
I know we would be an 8-4 team at best most years with an occasional bump up or down. That said, I also think we would see a huge bump in recruiting especially in the NC, DC, and MD areas where kids want to play in the SEC and could still be close for their families to drive to see them play the like of UT, UF, USC, UGA etc. As much as I love the Hokies, SEC football is where it's at. I won't let my O&M glasses cloud that fact. And I would absolutely LOVE to go to Lane on a Saturday night to watch one of the SEC Big Dogs come to town.
And if VT were to get that opportunity they would be crazy to turn it down. Not only for the revenue the SEC would bring, but the economic boost that traveling SEC fans would bring to SWVA. We all know that most SEC teams travel very well, and I would venture to guess that all except for maybe Vandy would bring better than Duke, Wake, Miami, etc.
