Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 443885, member: 302"] Sometimes wonder when there is so much being positively said if that means the opposite...well, the ACC universities are certainly supporting the confernce. Here is another message from the AD at VT: [FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333][SIZE=12px]Will the Virginia Tech Hokies follow the Maryland Terrapins from the ACC to the Big Ten? Athletic director Jim Weaver insists that won't happen.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333][SIZE=12px]"We are more concerned of being in a home where we believe it's the right match for our academic institution as well as the athletic aspect of our institution and where it makes sense for us to be," Weaver tells [URL='http://www.roanoke.com/sports/vtfootball/wb/317718'][COLOR=#225db7]Mark Berman of The Roanoke Times[/COLOR][/URL]. "When you analyze some of the moves that have been made, some people have a lot of travel to do.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333][SIZE=12px]"I don't think you make the decision based on money alone. I think you've got to ascertain, 'Do you have enough funding? Are you able to continue as you are without falling backwards?' I think it's those type of approaches that have to be reviewed, as opposed to saying, 'Oh, they're getting $6 million more a year than we are, we need to go there.' Because team travel can eat up some of that money really quickly."[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#333333][SIZE=12px]Weaver is also skeptical that there will be significant conference expansion in the future. "I don't think anybody really knows," Weaver said. "I feel like we are comfortable in 14 plus Notre Dame [which will not be a full-time football member] in our league. I've been told that the SEC is comfortable with their 14. I've been told that the Big Ten is comfortable with their 14, but I don't know that for a fact."[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
