    Lol no. I am responding to another poster who follows me around from thread to thread trying to get my attention. I’ve been ignoring his nonsense , so now he is acting like an 8 year old who is mad that his parents are not listening to him by making fart sounds with his mouth to interrupt the...

    Is it confirmed that UM voted with the ACC to sue FSU?

    I honestly just skip past your posts because I assume you are just posting something juvenile and dumb, or trying to deliver an insult that’s so embarrassingly bad that I’m trying to do you a favor by ignoring it. Sorry I haven’t been giving you the attention you desperately want, sweetheart.

    I think UM was like the LA/Oakland Raiders of the 80s- they were the cool bad guys. I grew up a Dolphins fan but I always liked the Raiders because everyone seemed to hate them. Lot of people loved seeing the UM swagger and how we embarrassed the good ol boys. when I lived in Hawaii, I’d...

    Yes- problem is the network makes money on the number of Big 10 network subscribers in the state (as far I as understand how the carriage fee stuff works). I think FSU has a much larger fanbase across the state of Florida than UM, so that means a lot more subscribers, meaning a lot more money...

    It looks like it is based on the entire state. "The ACC credited a large portion of the 6.7% increase in revenue between 2021 and 2022 to the ACC Network finally gaining carriage on every major cable outlet. Charter is the main cable provider in Orlando, Tampa, Charlotte, New York City, and a...

    True, but it also touches on some more practical points that others were making about carriage fees. If what this random internet poster says is true, it's surprising how much more money the networks got just as a result of adding the two California teams. "When USC/UCLA join the Big Ten, the...

    Good post. The thing that worries me greatly , maybe more so than it does others, is that as you say , a lot of this is out of our hands. You seem to agree that UMs fate depends on the conferences getting (or not getting) certain teams. It doesn’t look like we are in the B1Gs top 2 and...

    The UM admin made it a toxic asset by 20 years of neglect. If I told you in 2004 that UM would have one 10 win season and one division title in the next 20 years, you would think that the only possible explanation is that UM got the death penalty. It would be somewhat comforting if that was...

    Your math doesn’t quite add up. Whether they get us now or later isn’t going to make it substantially more expensive. Let’s say the media full shares are 100 million per team in the SEC and B1G. That’s the price. Add another team, the P2 teams aren’t going to dilute their shares. Network...

    I doubt you are older, but if you are, then you should be old enough to know not to post stupid accusations.

    F&ck off with your accusations of trolling. I started posting on UM fan forums while you were still trying to fingerbang your fat 6th grade girlfriend on the back of the school bus. Big12 will probably raid the ACC if the ACC doesn’t survive in some form. Big12 has a joint media deal where...

    4 games a year, which may not be scheduled every season (other than FSU) justifies paying for 100 million per year for a team that, if the trend of the last 15 years continues, could hover around .500 in perpetuity? Look I am a UM fan so I’ll put the most positive spin on it to any outsiders...

    The problem is that we have been saying that for almost 20 years. How confident can network execs be that UM isn’t going to go back to its cheap ways if Cristobal fails, then the B1G gets stuck with a program that leeches off it ? That was ACCs perception of us. And now we are talking triple...

    FSU still isn’t AAU accredited. People can say it’s a formality but the AAU members are generally very selective and I don’t think fsu meets the criteria. The AAU looked at both USF and FSU last year, but only extended an invite to USF. FSU has far more name recognition but it didn’t...

    There isn't much reason for them to spend a dime in court. They will let the Acc and FSU fight it out, then when they realize that both sides are equally f*cked (whoever loses will appeal and it will take years and tens of millions in legal fees to get sorted), they will bring in espn to...
