Would be a tough sell, you’re right. But the alternative for those schools (Wake etc) is you hang on with equal distribution for 5 more years or so, and then the ACC collapses and you’re stuck in a G5 conference like the Big 12 leftovers. Because there is zero chance Clemson, FSU, Miami, and...

I want to hear why you think it’s a crazy and dumb idea. Low chance of happening….maybe, but some kind of unequal revenue distribution, even if not as drastic as what I want to happen, is probably inevitable if they want to keep the top 3 or 4 teams in the ACC from bailing. SEC and Big 10...

I just told you how. You can either grow the whole pie to equal the SEC - never gonna happen - OR you can change how you slice the pie. There’s nothing that says every team in a conference needs to share revenue equally. My suggestion is to give teams that finish top 25 the ENTIRE...

Excellent point, and this is something the ACC must do or it will collapse. If I were running the ACC, I would make sure the top ACC schools are making SEC/Big10 money. You do that by saying anyone who finishes in the AP top 25 gets a cut of the distribution, if you finish outside then you...

Geo footprint mattered 10 years ago... that's not how the game is played today. Now it's all about adding brands and creating the best matchups. I won't get in to the business reasons why, I don't think anybody cares, but that's how the playing field has changed. And honestly that's good for...

No. There's too much dead weight in these conferences as it is. Adding BC and Syracuse would just make the Big 10 into the ACC lite. The knife running through the heart of the ACC - the REASON they don't get as much TV money as others and the reason FSU/Clemson/whatever want out... is...

Money talks, bull**** walks. Personal grudges, friendships, public shaming, relationships, winning on the field, recruiting, all that ****.... IRRELEVANT. The ONLY things that matter are cash, money, and funds. The person writing the check is making the rules. Right now, that's ESPN...

Bama doesn’t give a **** either way. UGA might, but not enough to bite the hand that feeds (ESPN). UF might try to block, but ESPN would roll over them just like they did A&M. College football has changed, man. These conferences have made huge money deals with the network and money talks now...

Others have made that point also and it’s fair, but I disagree. Today’s game is all about driving TV revenue by creating interesting matchups. UM vs UF is great television. Whatever hangups the Gator has, they’re not calling the shots at the end of the day…as Texas and A&M recently proved...

They would also love never to schedule us again…but they do. UF doesn’t drive the bus.

What would happen to the Orange Bowl game if we leave? Does it come with us?

The commentators aren’t running the company.

Imagine you’re running ESPN. Miami os a valuable brand. Maybe not as valuable as Texas, but **** valuable all the same. Right now, you have Miami. If Miami goes to the Big 10, you lose Miami. How is that good for you? What you want is to keep your most valuable brands, and you want to milk...

FSU generates us revenue. That's not a rivalry game that should be lost IMO. If they go SEC and we go Big 10, that game is finished. The reason the SEC would add us is ESPN. We're a big brand, and that's the name of the game in this realignment - collecting big brands that create flashy...

We should join the SEC. The Big10 is a great conference, but Miami is not a northern team. I know that Miami sees itself as the Stanford of the South or whatever and our leadership would probably rather hobnob with the President of Michigan rather than Alabama... but I just hope our snobbery...
