    They BETTER have a deal in hand from one of the P2 - and for a full share. If not, things could get really ugly in Trailerhassee. Coach Norvell will be running like Forrest Gump to the bank on payday to make sure the check doesn't bounce.

    Market is what it is all about. Getting the most Wahoos to sign up for the Fox Sports digital platform. Big state schools (especially flagship schools) give the most bang for the buck - huge student enrollment, alumni throughout the state. It's one of the biggest reasons why FSU is more...

    Taking off my orange and green glasses, it would appear to be so, but at least we are (or at least, should be) more prepared. It's out in the open that FSU and Clemson want out. U-Dub and Oregon didn't really have that benefit as the Colorado jump to the Big 12 seemingly came together in about...

    It's all based on the circumstances involved. If FOX believes FSU is a must-have and fears the SEC might take them, FSU will get a full share. U-Dub and Oregon had no leverage and didn't bring the TV clout FSU does. Colorado announced they were going to the Big 12 and the remaining PAC 12...

    Being that the B1G had no problem busting up a century old conference, particularly one it had a close relationship with for decades as their champions annually met in the Rose Bowl, I'm not sure the AAU accreditation is all that important anymore. If FOX wants FSU, they'll get FSU.

    Something definitely will get done, but why do I get the feeling this will just begin a litany of lawsuits? How does Title IX come into play? Will schools have to take football, men's basketball, and other revenue generating sports (i.e. women's basketball for some schools) and take them out...

    And as of yesterday, UAB's football team is the first where the entire team has joined a union. Power 4 schools are being targeted for union membership as well. It will be interesting (perhaps frightening) to see what becomes of college football in the next 5-10 years.

    Definitely a part of me that wishes the ACC, Big 12, Pac 12 (at the time), and the Group of 5 told the P2 to ***** off. It would have been interesting to see the fallout. Kinda tired of seeing the line waiting to kneel down in front of the P2 to slob that **** at a chance to get in.

    You'd think there would be some value - not P2 value, but stronger than G5. Basketball would be elite. Not sure whether a formal merger into one conference or separate conferences with schedule agreements for 1 or 2 interconference games each year would be better, - probably stay at 2...

    Agree with your thinking on this. FSU wants out no matter what and Clemson is definitely getting there. The ACC (and ESPN) know it is only a matter of time for them to get out. With ESPN getting pulled into the FSU lawsuit, it's in their best interest to get the situation settled and to make...

    That's good to hear. I take it you have a source on the behind the door negotiations for the Canes?

    The Big 12 had an agreement to keep the payouts the same for each school with the addition of the PAC 12 castoffs. Do we know the networks will give them the same deal for any further additions?

    And that matches up with what the "insiders" say in general. How many teams are going to the P2? No one knows. And per your lists, you can add Stanford at 17 and Okla St tied with Miami as those who could potentially go ahead. Let's hope the powers that be get it done.

    Again, I hope you're right and ALL of these supposed "insiders" are wrong. They all have the Canes 4th or 5th best option at the highest.

    Of course it does. However, what percentage of the college football viewing market in SFL does the University of Miami provide? Hopefully it's enough to satisfy B1G desires.
