No way that the state government will let VPI leave behind UVA in a weakened ACC after pulling so many strings to get them an invitation.
I don't have as good of a pulse on whether or not NC State would be allowed to leave, but I'm guessing anything that resembles NC State advancing to a greater position than UNC would be a tough sell for the state government.

Yeah, the VT situation is an interesting one. The rumor is that if VT declines, the University of Maryland would be the next choice.
