    Quotes from Dan Radakovic today: Reporter - "Will the ACC expand?" Rad's answer - "Not in the short term. I really don't see it. I think the television contract with the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC, have some time to run right now. The big college football playoff expansion television...

    I believe I've been saying this for the past five years and have had many many debates with several of you about this very point. Hopefully this argument can be put to bed now.

    According to this, Miami is the third highest spending university IN THE COUNTRY on football. Behind only Alabama and FSU.... and FSU's spending is mostly on stadium repairs and buyouts for fired coaches. Miami outspent any team in the Big10, every team in the SEC except Alabama, and of course...

    Suppose both Miami and FSU both went to the SEC. That would mean we would play both FSU and the Gators annually. That would be very meaningful to Miami's football program, to keep the FSU game and to renew the annual rivalry with UF. Instead of playing FSU at home every other year, we would...

    I’ve disputed that this entire thread and always maintained that we’ll end up in the SEC. Carry on.

    Disagree. We shouldn't accept a reduced share. If they try to pull that on us, then join the SEC.

    If they offered $25M per team, six would vote "no" because the Big 12 would be more lucrative. In fact I think the Big 12 is paying more than the ACC is currently, so any reduction at all would be met with resistence. I think the scenario laid out is pie in the sky from ESPN. Not only do I...

    July 1 is two and a half months away. There's no chance a settlement is going to happen that quickly.

    Are you sure Miami would be required to sign off? The GOR is already signed, that required unanimous signoff but they already have that through the term. I'm not sure if signing a revised media agreement with ESPN would require unanimous consent or just a 3/4 majority, or half.... I'm not...

    It's offputting to me how people and companies twist the law to suit their own ends. 'Trade secrets' are intended to be something that differentiates you from your competition like McDonald's secret sauce or the formula to Coke. What ESPN is calling a 'trade secret' is nothing but a *******...

    If you’re not proud of what this program has accomplished with 5 natties then you’re no Cane. And if you can’t say with your chest that Miami has earned its spot at the top then you’re weak. If Canes fans aren’t going to talk up the Canes then who is? Keep dreaming buddy, you couldn’t bully...

    Nebraska is absolutely a blue blood program. Miami, Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC, FSU and Notre Dame are the ONLY blue bloods in college football, full stop. Everyone else is a tier below. Notice that includes teams like Texas, LSU, Ohio State and Michigan….a tier below. The teams...

    Why do you think the CFP regulations will become tighter and require conference affiliation? People seem to bend over backwards for Notre Dame, I don't see anything that would force that to change. If anything, these latest CFP discussions made it EASIER to stay independent for ND because they...

    If I were the Big Ten, I would be a hard "NO" on any formal scheduling arrangement or partial membership agreement with Notre Dame. Yes, it might make financial sense to a degree, but you have to weigh that against the toxicity that it would cause. Look at the ACC. Part of the reason this...

    Miami and FSU should be travel partners to any new conference. It would be extremely asinine weren't the case and I have to believe the decision makers are smart people.... but then again people have surprised me in the past. Miami and FSU independently are both valuable to the P2 on their...

    But none of those schools is Miami, with 5 national titles and 9 title appearences in the last 40 years. Stanford is a phenomenal school, but the Big Ten already passed on them once. Duke (IF IF IF football continues to improve). - well I have to take a shot here, it's too much of a layup...
