Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 420105, member: 622"] Not to belittle the VPI accomplishments, but they did originate the Rutgers plan of improvement, that is to say, play lesser competition and scream how how great you are, while still losing to big boys. The Beamer plan is what forced the NCAA to impose the rule allowing only 1 FCS level game to count towards bowl eligibility. They won 5 ACC championships when FSU and Clemson were down, those are the breaks and they went VPI's way. The reality is that Beamer is old and the SEC is guaranteed money if they can get it. It's not as if VPI is a destination job, who will take the job and stay, like Beamer? Don't get me wrong, they will have decent teams, but their record is inflated and they still don't win big games.
