All this VaTech talk,will they still be relevant once Beamer

retires? Will lightening strike VaTech twice with another successful no-name hire who keeps them winning? Or am I wrong...and VaTech actually can attract a big name coach AND is willing to pay the bucks to keep them? Whats your prognostication on VaTech post-Beamer?

would cause more TV sets to tune in than would UVA. They also have a larger fanbase and are perennial players on the national scene. What does UVA bring to the table?

Yes, I do. More nationally known by a wide margin.

And they make considerably more football revenue.
Must be larger fanbase.

I don't understand what you are arguing with me about....

I don't think VPI has the resources to be as valuable as UVA is.
You disagree...
ok

is more attractive in football expansion than is VT.
I disagree, and I also pointed out VT has a bigger fanbase, they're more nationally known, and they bring in considerably more football revenue. Not sure what there is to argue about?

Virginia has enough money to be as good as they want to be in football.
The same way that a Stanford team was able to build a brand new stadium after a winless year. They are just on a different level. Not to mention a much larger and more successful alumni base and a location near D.C.
This is what I've been saying from the beginning, its not all about recent success and TV money.

VT has had better attendance every year, at least since 1998.
Again, I'm not sure what you're basing your opinion on. The facts show VT has a bigger fanbase and considerably more revenue.

consistently attending fanbase. That, and they are a MUCH more respected football program. Again, it's about the TV sets. Not sure about what the school's monetary prowess has to do with it?

Any conference that accepts VT is taking a big risk. After Beamer retires there is a good chance they sink back into being a 6-6 type team that doesn't fill its stadium. Look at how much better Clemson recruits.
