Finebaum: Virginia Tech was the #1 SEC expansion target in 2012

Hokies were 'strongest candidate' for SEC expansion in 2012

Won't copy and paste the whole article, but it essentially says the SEC was very serious about conference expansion in 2012, and the one target they were looking at first and foremost was Virginia Tech, and not Florida State, Clemson, or any of the other programs around the area. While Weaver made outward claims that we were very happy in the ACC, the SEC was still coming after us.

Now, we all know it never happened, but should Conference Expansion rear its ugly head again, keep this story in your back pocket. Its nice to be one of the wanted ones.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"
