    I hear you. And as a first generation guy I was fortunate enough not to live in poverty, but its presence was nearby and appreciated. That said, in my experience, if you don't have the PTO you're going to be worse off. If you're on an hourly and you don't show up, at a minimum you aren't...

    Mileage on your car, taking an extra day off work, extra night hotel stay... I am not convinced it's 1/4 of the cost. Time is money afterall. I suspect the costs of driving from Miami to Oxford for a 3:30 Saturday game vs. flying from Miami to Columbus are much closer than 4x... especially if...

    Not sure how I missed that one, but thank you. I was doing the SEC off the top of my head and Nashville (Vandy) was the only city that came to mind. Overall that's about what I expected, and seems to indicate the total travel time and cost for individual attendees may actually be lower on...

    Curious what this looks like from a total travel time perspective when you add travel time from the nearest major airport to the stadium location, especially as compared to SEC schools.

    IMO the most persuasive selling point SEC schools use against UM while poaching South Florida kids is some variation of "SEC football is the highest level of college football and NFL teams know this and draft accordingly." Thinking about only football recruiting, I don't think anyone can...

    Yes. Which is a lot of words to essentially say what I wrote: "ACC schools looking to exit are likely stuck searching within the contract itself for their out." And trust me, those schools have very qualified and expensive attorneys doing precisely that.

    There is no legal principle that saves businesses represented by counsel from performing on the bad deals they sign. Money for broadcast rights (even if it is apparently less than market value) is good consideration on both sides and not illusory. If the contract was procured through mistake as...

    If ND and FSU join us in the B1G it becomes much more appealing. Otherwise, SEC just makes too much sense. Geography + football recruiting goes to the SEC. Would be nice to take the "SEC football is just different" pitch and flip it in our favor. Total school profile, we probably have more in...
