only on message boards. olympic sports rely heavily on nearby competition from schools not in the FBS, let alone not in the Big5 conferences. VT sports play Radford, VMI, Liberty, JMU, ODU, W&M, Richmond, etc on a fairly regular basis. breaking away would force them to compete only against schools under the same governing body (just like NCAA schools don't compete with NAIA schools).
