They were 13-1 last year, we were 7-6..

But surely you knew that, and are not trying to shoehorn Miami Mopery into the realignment thread, right?

Mopery in this thread will be at a fever pitch if Miami remains in the broke ACC while our hated rival flees for much greener pastures...., but to records, I was checking that our overall expectations remain high, both re: record and appropriate conference alignment.... One must not let this place slip into allowing the underachieving results of previous seasons set the bar for the future...

The FSU situation is now heating up on Warchant with this new speculation (and debate):

"FSU COULD POTENTIALLY PLAY THE 2024 SEASON AS AN INDEPENDENT OUTSIDE OF THE ACC. Same schedule, just FSU taking control of their home game broadcasts that would be auctioned to the highest bidder".

A couple of "insiders" have stated that this is in the works and has a high probability of happening. The speculation is that 1). There is no reason to remain in the ACC as the exit fee is known at fixed at roughly $120M 2). They view the GOR as poorly written, unclear, and unenforceable so they leave with their media rights. It makes no sense to remain while the law suit goes on. Announcement imminent.

The more conservative Nole alum / attorneys take the position ... how? Unless a judge rules you have the rights you have nothing to auction? Bylaws state you need to give notice of departure by 8/15 for the next season.

Operative word is ... debate ... but that is where the 1900 page Warchant Realignment thread has morphed to as of this morning. "Not only are we leaving, but effective the 2024 season, as independents, playing the current 24 schedule". April should be interesting.

Double-twisting backflip. Impressive.

Do It GIF


Good Lord. The ACC then states, our 8 conference games with FSU are no longer going to be played as FSU is no longer members of the conference as of 8/15/24. The money hung up in lawsuits for breach of contract on both sides would be amazing. Go for it FSU. 🤣

Let's make this simple.

WHO will they play as an "independent"? I **** sure guarantee you that the ACC will not allow its teams to play F$U.

There's a lot of merit in F$U's legal arguments thus far. But no court in the land will let F$U quit the ACC early without proper notice, and by retaining all of "their" revenue, without imposing MASSIVE financial penalties.

Unless there is a little-known codicil in the Faber College constitution...

Most likely….

Unless jim Phillips and bottom feeders were told the future reality from their daddy in Bristol, CT and they know discovery is ugly…

Like I said .. there is a lot of DEBATE going on just on Warchant with conservative FSU alums stating " it is not feasible, possible, legal", and then the insistence on the part of a couple of "insiders" who are stating "it is being worked on behind the scenes" implying that there is some sort of media partner agreement and horse trading going on. Conservative people are "skeptical" to be understating, while those that believe .. are planning a celebration for the weekend.

So 8-4, 9-3 would be bad season for them, but good for us… 👀

Different standards considering where we were last season, but 8-4 is a colossal failure for Miami considering the expectations that were already set forth, and now there’s been nothing but a jerk fest in the spring before even playing a second scrimmage. Expectations should have been high, but now they’re creeping towards 10 wins and an ACCCG appearance (and those expectations should be the case).

You go 8-4 with Cam Ward at QB, Mario has a very, very uphill battle to climb here. Because we won’t be better next year than we will be (on paper) this season. I mean he did better with Anthony Brown at QB, there’s zero excuses to not win at least 9 games this season. He won 10 with Brown.

You will lose Ward, Restrepo, George, half your OL, Kiko, Mesidor, JHH, Clark, Cook, Alston, Powell + a few transfers. That’s hard to replace. Recruiting won’t have a top 5 class if we go 8-4 and the losses include UF and FSU. There’s only so much bs kids will buy, you have to win on the field at some point.

9-3 you can at least sell a bit.

Yeah, even if I could believe they’d be allowed to exit that early, the idea that the ACC would also do them the favor of keeping their schedule is beyond delusional. Unless the A-SUN or something grants them a one year affiliate membership for every other sport, good luck fielding teams for more than a fraction of the schedule in anything next year.

The fan fiction here is neither believable or titillating.

Agreed. I agree with the 10 win expectations. We won 7 games last year. Team won 8, Mario stole it. That’s 8 wins. We were up on Rutgers and went clenched ****/time management… that’s 9 wins…

Add Cam Ward and the opinion of the board that all who left were cheeks … 10 wins or bust…
