I can't see UVa competing in the SEC at all in football unless some huge improvements are made. They might be able to hold their own in basketball and some of the minor sports (maybe baseball, lacrosse for sure)
I agree the Big 10+ makes more sense, They're probably on a better academic footing there. I think Bronco left the football cupboard bare when he left in 2021. I can't judge Elliott after last season (his first) they were struggling before they ended their season following the shooting. Whether it was the personnel or change in style, I don't know.
