Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 1056829, member: 1145"] It's not that simple. Each change made will necessarily send out reverberations affecting the entire conference. Other than VT and UVA trading annual cross-divisional rivals, so that UVA plays BC and VT plays the UofL, all changes will irritate several other members of the conference, perhaps enough to lead to major trouble. UNC, for example, has a fairly large alumni base in and near Atlanta. When Bobby Dodd has 55,000 to see UNC play GT, you can bet that at least 6000 are UNC fans. UNC does not have a large alumni base in Louisville. Add to that the fact that GA turns out the 4th most football talent in the country while KY turns out less than TN, which turns out less than SC, which turns out less than NC or VA, and it is a given that UNC would never vote for such a trade. We are stuck with the divisions we have until we can scrap divisions. [/QUOTE]
