    An attorney on Canesport commented the other day that he had some contact within the UM administration and his words were "they aren't worried, they will watch to see what happens with the FSU & Clemson law suits, see if they manage to leave and what happens once they do. It might be preferable...

    Fluaguar is painful to even attempt to listen to. Those pregnant pauses while he attempts to get his freaking brain to signal his mouth to speak. Guy comes across like a complete idiot. Really embarrassing.

    Not only did judge Cooper rule against the ACC but he stated that any ruling by the NC judge to approve NC venue was going to get blown out of the water if necessary by appeal to the US Supreme court and it would be viewed as an irresponsible waste of attorney and court time at all levels.

    A major concern regarding the entire realignment topic is the U of Miami "in house" attitude and position regarding it. One attorney who is on canesport, who apparently has some contacts inside UM, stated that they (the administration) aren't really panicking or concerned regarding the...

    What will help will be Miami WINNING the ACC this year ... getting into major games like the ACC Championship game and into the CFP. Miami desperately needs to demonstrate progress and a serious commitment.

    When you look at VIEWERS over the past 20 years, big games, FSU dwarfs Miami's numbers. Heck, Miami has had ONE 10 win season in that span and FSU has had TEN. AND, there isn't one single factor being used in the "attractiveness" evaluations by the media partners. -Carriage fees -Viewership...

    We all know that things are changing in the cable fee structures and that will continue. However the "realignment" issues that we are discussing ... the next wave of P2 expansion .... is HAPPENING NOW ... we will see it over the next 2 years most likely. Maybe this is only 4 teams ... 2 to the...

    Carriage fees are BY STATE. Therefore if the B10 takes FSU they get the STATE OF FLORIDA CARRIAGE FEES and there are no incremental carriage fees for adding Miami.

    And the carriage fee issue is why a pairing of FSU / Clemson brings a lot more $$$ to FOX / BIG than FSU / Miami. It has been stated that "Miami is dilutive", no incremental carriage fees. Lot of factors being evaluated.

    "Super league" with 32 teams? That's a new one. Believe the next plateau is the B10 and SEC both at 22 - 24 each. Run that for a few years and see what the next iteration is.

    The ACC has been anywhere from "misrepresenting" to "flat out lying" regarding several topics. 1. The current ESPN media agreement goes through June 30, 2027 (through the 2026 season) and NOT until 2036. 2. The media agreement was signed and committed to ... before the GOR document was...

    Clemson gives carriage fees for SC and they have very high viewership numbers ... and that is what is driving realignment ... media $$$. One analyst stated that in HIS opinion it didn't make sense to add more than 1 school from a state as it wouldn't bring incremental carriage fees. For the...

    Shouldn't be anywhere near that amount. -The ACC exit fee is stated as $130-140 M ... and that should be negotiable as it is VERY HIGH and unwarranted. -The media contract only goes through the 2026 season and the GOR was established TO SUPPORT the ESPN media agreement. ALSO there appears to...

    They have a spot in the Big 10 for sure ... if they want it or can get there easier than the SEC. From all that I have read on multiple sites it "seems" that this horse trading has already been completed by ESPN / FOX as part of the CFP negotiating process. Going to be interesting to see what...

    If the SEC stays at 16 ... we're screwed. LONG TERM ... I believe that both B10 and SEC end up at 24 and they add the cream of the ACC and a couple from the B12 (Utah?). UM screwed the pooch by being irrelevant ... in the ACC for so long ... let alone the national picture. Winning the ACC this...

    Everything hinges on what the SEC does in this next round. If the B10 succeeds in grabbing FSU & Clemson and the SEC takes UNC / UVA and stops ... then we are stuck in a weak ACC most likely for some time, unless the math works on leaving a very weak ACC (new media deal without FSU / Clemson /...

    It was a reasonable response to your "will still be available in 2033" comment, in my opinion. As far as age, whew, been a lot of places and done a lot of things. One of my most enjoyable summers was '67, OCS at NAS Penscola, before my senior year in college. Was supposed to be flying Phantoms...
