Evaluating UVA’s future in the midst of conference realignment

As another domino has fallen in the midst of conference realignment, the Virginia Cavaliers’ future in the ACC and in the NCAA appears under serious threat. Specifically, last week, the Big Ten officially announced that it would be adding USC and UCLA, starting in 2024. This was seen as a counter move to the SEC adding Texas and Oklahoma the previous offseason.

More importantly, it sets the stage for these two conferences to seize control of college athletics as it is known.

Just got off the phone with someone who believes this eventually leads to two megaconferences — the Big Ten and SEC — with 20 or more members apiece.
