Letter to the editor: Hokies should stay in ACC

I live in southern Alabama. College football is all they know here. It is disgusting. I love Virginia Tech and do not want them in the SEC. The ACC is the perfect fit for them. The way we recruit, we would be — at best — middle of the road in the SEC. Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Florida dominate down here. STAY IN THE ACC.

A version of this article appeared in the Jun 21 issue of the Collegiate Times.

When we left the Big East for the ACC, it was necessary to avoid getting left behind. For once, we should act out of self-improvement rather than self-preservation. We should be actively campaigning for a move to the SEC. They took Missouri and Texas A&M, and I see that as a slap in the face. I'd rather see us lose against the best than win against the ACC, regardless of whether other teams leave or not.

Tech is a better fit geographically and academically than the SEC. Remember there are other sports than football, and although I love football, I do not want to see us become a football school like those in the SEC mentioned.
