For example. VT could never have it's baseball team compete in the CAA. But VT can't be forced to start up a LAX team just because the ACC sponsors that sport. However, should VT decide to start a LAX team in the future, that team will have to compete in the ACC.
What's the difference in having a team compete in another conference and not having that sport? Answer? Semantics.
