I recently had this conversation with a buddy. Would either of the Big 2 conference kick out the small guys to get better brands in there? Vanderbilt brings nothing to the SEC. Northwestern has at least been competitive in the B1G.

One strong season may not move the needle competitively, but look at 2017 and how much TV coverage we got when we actually won. Now do that with a fun QB of Ward's caliber. Show conferences—and, more importantly, networks—the value of a strong Miami to ratings, then yeah, one year could make a...

"We're incredibly solid with the ACC"...until FSU and Clemson are gone. Then we're not. I agree it was completely unnecessary, but also know not to believe what people say in public. As another tweet said, no need to risk a countersuit from the ACC right now. Let FSU and Clemson do the dirty...

Could FSU take legal action against those schools if they willfully complied with violating the ACC bylaws to file suit against them? This is getting so **** messy. Not sure Philips can survive this.

And if those are the actual facts, I would think ACC could be big time financially liable and Phillips could be fired.

So we've gone from FSU/Clemson to the B1G and UNC/UVA to SEC...to now FSU/Clemson to SEC and UNC/UVA to B1G. Very few people know anything. It's all speculation at this point. Very likely the people who actually know anything are staying quiet.

100% this. But also, while UNC/Duke is a big basketball rivalry, UNC/NC State is the bigger football rivalry, and this is all about football.

Who says the conference hasn’t envisioned that? Everything is speculation right now. FSU is just super public about their displeasure.

So how do they determine conference champs automatic bids? Or do they get rid of those? Even NFL has division winner automatic bids.

Oh I've been keeping up all along. I just don't feel like this Genetics guy should be getting as much credit as some people seem to give him.

But does this dude actually have any kind of track record of being right? It seems he posts a lot of LONG posts with a lot of "information" but nothing has really happened. It's all just speculation. At one point we were a lock for B1G. Now we're an afterthought. If we were a lock before UO/UW...

Why does anyone listen to this guy? Have any of his predictions come true? He’s been all over the place with Miami. Swing enough times and one is bound to be a hit…while hitting .090 for the season.

Of course. They may be, they may not be. Very few people know what's going on. All I was saying is don't put it past the petty NC legislature to force a partnership. It's not just UNC's call.

The UNC AD can have that stance all he wants, but it's NC politics. From what I understand, UNC can't make the decision on their own; the state legislature has to sign off. There are likely enough NC State alumni there to force a partnership and not let UNC go on their own. They know it'll hurt...

UVA is a more valuable program, but I wouldn't be shocked to see NC State paired with UNC. The state lawmakers are looking out for their own and just passed some kind of measure. I could see it playing out that they will only let UNC go if NC State has a spot as well. Just like UVA requiring...

The whole thing these idiots who want to "strengthen the ACC" miss is that the numbers don't work. They think teams just getting more competitive will solve everything. Miami, Clemson, and FSU could all be top 10 teams for the next 12 years, but the money hole will be so deep compared to what...

@TheOriginalCane are there any merits to doing this? Could the judge overseeing the FSU lawsuit look at this as trying to hide something?

I didn't miss the point. Totally agree with all of it. It all looks bad.

The whole thing seems dirty, but in all fairness, "Assistant Director" at a P5 school is not remotely a high title. My first job after an internship was as an Assistant Director at UM; it pays hardly anything and they work you 50-60/hours a week, often including nights and weekends because of...

It's this way with my business, too. People want free/cheap creative work and say because I've already done it or because I work quickly, they shouldn't have to pay as much. Why do I get punished for being efficient and delivering things to you quicker? Hence why I don't charge hourly, but...
