UNDERWHELMED: Penn State Roster Exodus FAILS to Boost Virginia Tech, Can Hokies Compete in ACC?

James Franklin stirs the ACC landscape by bringing a dozen former Penn State Nittany Lions to Virginia Tech, fueling speculation about the Hokies' rise and Penn State's future under new coach Matt Campbell. Will Virginia Tech become a surprise contender for the ACC Championship with quarterback Ethan Grunkemeier and key portal additions, or did the Hokies fall short of the expected Penn State exodus?

Alex Donno, Kenton Gibbs, and Zach Seyko break down the ripple effects of high-profile transfers, player retention battles, and coaching changes rocking Penn State, Virginia Tech, and the ACC at large. Hot topics include Miami Hurricanes' battle for Duke QB Darian Mensah, NC State's portal wins with King Mac, and the financial and legal chaos unleashed by the current transfer and NIL climate. Can Matt Campbell deliver a Big Ten breakthrough at Penn State, and will the ACC see a power shift after this offseason shakeup?
