David Teel, of the Hampton Roads Daily Press, talks about the amazing year Virginia Tech athletics has enjoyed in his latest column. Yes, we all remember the Hokies winning the ACC football championship outright. We also remember the men’s basketball team overachieving. But David reminds us of the success the other sports have enjoyed. (eg: The softball team getting a NCAA tournament bid.) Hokies everywhere have much to be proud of, including, but certainly not limited to, our football team.

According to ESPN, the Big East and ACC have settled their differences out of court. After Virginia Tech and Miami’s defections to the ACC, members of the Big East conference sued Miami and Boston College, accusing them of conspiring with the ACC to destroy the Big East. Tech was never involved in this lawsuit because we were essentially an afterthought when ACC expansion began. It appears that they have settled out of court for the tune of $5 million.

So, BC should join up with the ACC in July without much fanfare, and life will go on. As a parting shot, I’ll leave you with this article, titled Beamer says ACC is the place for Hokies.
