I don't see either of those happening.  Why would the other powerhouse schools in the SEC want VaTech?  I think the probability is higher that the SEC takes Clemson, which is an easy grab, gives an in-state rival to South Carolina, and doesn't upset the power balance in the conference.  I doubt the ACC puts up much of a fight with Clemson.  VaTech on the other hand?  That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.  Right now Va Tech IS ACC football.  If the ACC loses them, then their whole expansion grab was for naught.  That could get VERY ugly politically.

Besides, would WVU or VaTech really add that many more TV sets?  The SEC doesn't need TV sets.  They already have them.  They are the premier college football conference.  WVU only makes sense when you take into account the hillbilly factor.  Otherwise, eh.  Do you think Alabama gives a crap about West Virginia?  I just don't see VaTech or WVU going to the SEC UNLESS they go to 16 AND either Fla St. or Miami is involved.  None of those four schools is a logical fit for the SEC.  Clemson, on the other hand, makes perfect sense.  Clemson fans and Gamecock fans already hate each other.
