You see no UVA mentioned here and no Carolina or Duke. No BC or Syracuse. You see the 4 most rumored schools, outside of VT, to leave the ACC in the past 12 months. If, IF, those schools leave, we'll have lost our "peer-type, land-grant institutions" that are our allies in the ACC and will seek them in conferences elsewhere. At least that's how I read it.
Wow. I hadn't seen this. That is definitely telling.
