One thing that I am watching is if Virginia Tech and UVA could manage to part ways without either of them being harmed. I can envision Tech going to the SEC with A&M and the Big Ten inviting Maryland and UVA.

As a WVU fan, I am terrified that we will get left out. On the one hand, we have pretty strong football and basketball programs, strong followings, and do not have any political ties to less desirable schools. But our academics and media market size kills us with the Big Ten and (most likely) with the ACC, unless they relax their parameters.

Big East isn't going to be the one chopped up, it'll be the Big 12. Heck if Florida State leaves the ACC, they are ripe for a raid.
