    Sorry to interrupt the back and forth mudslinging, but that is a terrible conference.

    Devastating. I love Lahaina and Maui. We were planning on going back in 2025 when kids were a bit older. Not sure how it'll look then but ill be glad to give them my money so they can continue to rebuild.

    Fox sports isn't owned by Disney, although FOX has its own different money issue it is facing. Either way, personally, I don't think money is really an issue. Football tv makes money in the US. Espn/disney have made poor decisions but they still have money. Something that isn't really mentioned...

    Definitely. It's all up in the air and there are too many moving parts to be able predict everything 100%. Regardless, I believe we are closer to leaving than not.

    My only issue was with the notion from warchant that FOX would pay for the schools to essentially breach their agreement. I never said anything about the ACC. I agree completely, if ACC no longer exists then it's nit an issue, but that's not the hypo that was being discussed. As long talked...

    Under the assumption that there is a valid contract in place, a third party, FOX, leading and paying for the actual breach raises serious interference with a contract issues. ESPN, or whoever owns the rights at that time, would have a cause of action against FOX in this case. There is zero way...

    I have no doubt that there are a lot of behind the scenes movement with these things. I just don't see FOX essentially subsidizing the moves. I could see FOX and ESPN essentially engaging in horse trading tho.

    That fox willing to pay fees, etc. I don't really buy that. That in itself could present legal issues for fox. Seems like message board gossip to me.

    However, if a contract was unenforceable (for instance, due to lack of consideration, lack of standing, etc), then it wouldn't matter if it was "irrevocable." You can also void a contract of it is impossible to perform. I'm not saying that's the case here, but there are many ways to get around...

    It feels like the dam is about to burst. This is what happens with these things. Big 12 knows what it has to do and is making its moves to survive. Who will be the next school to just rip the bandaid off and force the next wave. I don't see it happening, but I really hope it's Miami first. I...

    It does seem to provide balance. USC/UCLA out west, then Miami/FSU. If they fill in a bit it's a true national college football conference with big names everywhere.

    Once teams start moving, the other teams and conferences start moving also. You don't want to be left out. The rumors of Oregon could be big for some schools who were looking to potential Big 12 spots.

    Assuming SEC/BIG, and even Big 12 are actually working on expansion behind the scenes (which everyone knows is happening), there is no way their media partners wouldn't know at some level. I suspect most of the journalists reporting this nonsense know that it is nonsense. But, they still need to...

    I follow other blogs that focuses on entertainment, Networks, Disney. Something that stood out about Iger's comments relating to ESPN is that, although he would be willing to spin off and sell FX, ABC, he mentioned he would like to keep espn and find a strategic partner. He also stated how...

    I keep seeing things about B1G and SEC possibly waiting, SEC doesn't want to add right now, etc. I don't believe it at all. This is an arms race for big time money. Let's assume the SEC doesn't actually want to expand more right now. If I'm the B1G, I'm doing whatever i can to strike the first...

    I haven't kept up with every page or post, (so excuse me if im re-hashing things) but a few things popped out. The possibility that there was no consideration for the extension of the GOR. Huge red flags for the ACC if true. Also, someone mentioned the possibility of removing teams from the...

    I dont know how accurate that Genetics person on Twitter is, but they have been heavily hinting that ND to the B1G is happening sooner rather than later, with some things announcing today or in the next few days signaling it. Just now, ND's AD announced he is stepping down in 2024 and will be...

    Stanford is a private school so I'm not sure how much control anyone would have over it. Also, personally, I don't think Cal cares at all about big time football. I could see them trying to go Ivy league route. There might be a result where there is some.aort of agreement where UCLA pays more in...

    I don't want to seem too selfish, but before the ACC is gone forever (seemingly sooner rather than later), can I please get an ACC title this year? Thanks.
