Football History - Virginia Tech Hokies History
Conference Affiliation History
* Feb. 13, 1872 - Virginia Tech is founded.
* Oct. 21, 1892 - Tech played its first football game,
recording a 14-10 win over St. Albans, a private boys prep
school in Radford.
* February 1895 - Tech was a charter member of the now
defunct Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association along
with Randolph-Macon, Richmond College (now the University
of Richmond), Roanoke College, and William and Mary.
* Feb. 25-26, 1921 - Tech, under the leadership of athletics
director C.P. "Sally" Miles, joined the Southern
Intercollegiate Conference as a charter member. Other members
included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn),
Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia
Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College (Mississippi State), North Carolina,
North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington
and Lee. In 1922, Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina,
Vanderbilt and Tulane joined the conference.
* December, 1923 - The name of the conference was officially
changed to the Southern Conference. Also, conference officials
added the University of the South to the conference. The
following year, VMI joined the conference, and in 1929,
Duke joined.
* 1932 - It was agreed that the 13 southern-most members
should form a separate conference. The Southeastern Conference,
thus, was formed with Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia,
Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State,
Sewanee, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt as the members.
* 1953 - The following seven colleges withdrew to form
the Atlantic Coast Conference: Clemson, Duke, North Carolina,
North Carolina State, Maryland, South Carolina and Wake
Forest College.
* June, 1965 - Tech withdrew from the Southern Conference.
* July, 1965-May, 1978 - Tech competed as an independent
in virtually every varsity sport.
* May 3, 1978 - Tech ends its 13-year status as a major
independent by accepting a bid to join the Metropolitan
Collegiate Athletic Conference (a.k.a. the Metro) for all
sports except football.
The Hokies join Cincinnati, Florida State, Louisville, Memphis
State, St. Louis and Tulane in the Metro, which was founded
in 1975.
"Affiliation with the Metro Conference is beneficial
from the standpoint of scheduling, national identity and
postseason activity," Tech president William Lavery
said. "It will provide us with national exposure and
television coverage, as well as improve the basketball schedule
and bring good teams to Blacksburg."
* Feb. 5, 1991 - After 26 years as a football independent,
Tech officially accepts a bid to join the newly-created
BIG EAST Football Conference. Tech joined Miami, Syracuse,
Boston College, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Temple and Rutgers
as charter members of the conference.
* July, 1991 - The Colonial Athletic Association (CAA)
adds wrestling as a conference sport. Virginia Tech joins
the leauge in wrestling only. Tech joined American, George
Mason, James Madison, Liberty, Old Dominion, and William
& Mary
* January, 1995 - Five Metro members - UNC Charlotte,
Tulane, Louisville, Southern Miss and South Florida - voted
Tech and Virginia Commonwealth out of the league. At the
time, those schools were planning a merger with other Midwestern
schools (hence, the birth of Conference USA) and the Hokies
and Rams were not interested in such a merger. As a result,
those five league members decided to vote them out of the
league.
* Feb. 3, 1995 - Tech, VCU and the Metro agree to a $2.27
million settlement which the Hokies and Rams split. A portion
of conference revenue was going to be withheld from the
two schools, but this settlement put an end to the issue.
* Two weeks later, 1995 - Tech joins the Atlantic 10 Conference
for all sports except football, which is in the BIG EAST,
and wrestling, which is in the Colonial.
Tech AD Dave Braine picked the Atlantic 10 over the Colonial
because of three factors.
"No. 1 was Northeast exposure," Braine told Bill
Roth in the Feb. 17 issue of The Hokie Huddler. "No.
2 were the basketball rankings of the Atlantic 10 and the
high level of play in the league. And No. 3, most of our
out-of-state students are from the Northeast."
* July, 1998 - After seven seasons in the CAA, Virginia
Tech's wrestling team joins the Eastern Wrestling League
(EWL). Other members of the EWL are: Bloomsburg, Clarion,
Cleveland State, Edinboro, Lock Haven, Pittsburgh and West
Virginia.
* June 24, 1999 - Tech receives proposal from the BIG
EAST Conference, inviting the school to join the conference
for all sports.
* July 20, 1999 - Tech submits a counterproposal, addressing
finacial issues that the school has with the original proposal.
BIG EAST athletic directors address those concerns at the
athletics directors' meetings in mid-July and submit the
proposal to each school's respective president for a vote.
* Aug. 24, 1999 - Tech and the BIG EAST announce that
the Hokies will join the conference for all sports beginning
in 2001-02.
"Virginia Tech is thrilled to become a full member
of the BIG EAST Conference and looks forward to its academic
and athletic associations with the entire conference membership,"
Tech president Paul Torgersen said.
* November 2, 1999 - BIG EAST Conference Presidents vote
to advance Virginia Tech's participation as a full member
to July 1, 2000.
* June 18, 2003 - In a surprise move, presidents of Atlantic
Coast Conference schools privately drop a plan to invite
Miami, Boston College and Syracuse and instead, vote on
inviting Virginia Tech and Miami. This comes after five
weeks of negotiations with the other three schools for ACC
invitations.
* June 19, 2003 - Responding to speculation that Virginia
Tech has been invited to join the ACC, the university issues
a release stating that no offer has been extended officially
or unofficially.
* June 24, 2003 - Presidents of Atlantic Coast Conference
schools hold a teleconference and vote to begin the official
process of offering invitations to Virginia Tech and Miami.
* June 25, 2003 - Atlantic Coast Conference officials
make an official site visit to Virginia Tech, with the Hokies
passing with flying colors. This is the final step before
an official invitation can be extended.
* June 27, 2003 - Virginia Tech President Charles Steger
announces that the Hokies have officially accepted the ACC's
invitation to join the conference.
"Today we have received the formal offer of membership,
which we will accept," Steger said. "We know that
this affiliation will be good for our students, athletes,
fans, and communities for many years to come."
* July 1, 2003 - Virginia Tech and Miami are officially
introduced as the 10th and 11th members of the Atlantic
Coast Conference at a press conference in Greensboro, N.C.
The Hokies will officially join the ACC on July 1, 2004
and will begin play in the 2004-05 academic year.
"I'm excited for our fans and our constituency,"
Weaver said. "This membership is something that the
fan base and alumni and friends of Virginia Tech have wanted
for a long time. It's home for us. We've had prior relationships
with these institutions for many years and this is something
our fans are excited about. I'm happy for them, for our
coaches and for our student-athletes."
* July 1, 2004 - Virginia Tech and Miami officially join
the ACC.
