[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1213179, member: 527609"] If that's true, then why do they need to join? The idea that a school of UVa's caliber gains anything academically by joining a league in which 13 of 14 schools are their inferior is, well, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. UVa or UNC will join if that is the only way to keep their athletic departments among the Joneses. That's it. That's the whole thing. And if that happens, if we go THAT big and THAT far, the Big Ten brand we grew up with is dead. World Domination was never a part of that story. [/QUOTE]
