Occam’s razor. Or if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck it’s a duck. Or we can do whatever mental gymnastics to think Miami is leaving the ACC but every shred of evidence says otherwise.

Counterpoint - Does having a wink-wink nudge-nudge landing spot impact that strategy? Let's say the B10 really is only taking two and it winds up being FSU/ND and the SEC isn't interested. Of course if we have a guaranteed landing spot then this should be a no-brainer and is fireable if it...

The ACC Network was not available on Comcast for the first number of years. Not just SFL.

Depends on who they are. If it is UF picking at the scrap yard of the SunBelt, it probably doesn't move the needle. If it is Bama with former head coaches and NFL coaches as analysts, then that helps. They called Sarkisian up from the bullpen the week of the championship game. Maybe two...

Generally is for the organization to decide in its organizing documents. I believe that is the case in NC. Their code provides for procedures if the organization does not state for itself. However, depending on how the events are ordered, the conference would have to provide notice to the NC...

What firms are representing FSU and the ACC? I saw Nelson Mullins and Ropes Gray for Clemson.

There’s just as much conjecture in your thoughts if not more. The reality is we don’t know what’s going on, and for good reason but Rad has made the same stupid statement multiple times, so at what point do you believe him. My sole point is less is more if that is your strategy. If we are not...

It is one thing to be silent like Clemson was and like we were. Clemson also voted against the expansion of membership. It is another thing to make some grand statement like Radakovich did. I was fine with us being quiet and handling our business behind closed doors. I was not fine with...

I said this to someone in message, if you are the B10 and we are having these conversations with Rudy leading the charge, then Rad says that, does the B10 wonder whether we are aligned and serious? There were all sorts of discussions about the university leadership rowing in different directions...

There are many ways to skin this cat, but all he had to say is "no comment" or "like everyone, we are monitoring the situation." Knowing how every word is being dissected (acknowledging it is irrelevant for realignment purposes), there is absolutely no reason nor anything to gain by saying a...

After this complaint, it seems pretty clear that FSU and the SEC (ESPN) are not going to be doing business with one another.

@Cane & Able You trying to get a job at Harvard next?

I’d wager they have been on less and definitely less on Raycom in recent years.

Partly our fault, but how much were our ratings suppressed by 1) the ACCN not being carried by several larger carriers for multiple years or 2) us winding up on Raycom or whatever random station. There were multiple games a year that I just could not even find the game or figure out how to stream.

I don’t disagree with this, but isn’t this somewhat akin to investing in a company by looking at its performance over the last ten years vs what is projected in the next ten? That’s a quick way to lose money in the market.

I don’t know what he should say but I can tell you what he shouldn’t. And he shouldn’t have said any of that and really didn’t need to, either.

But also... why wouldn't you want as many programs at your school to be as good as possible? Like he said SEC has gotten really good at baseball and then you look at the opposite direction that our program has gone. Or if you already have a tennis program, why wouldn't you want to be in the...

I hear you, and agree to an extent. But he is going well beyond that with talking about how terrible it would be to lose GT from the schedule and how playing a Texas A&M game every week would be a bad thing, even if he meant the latter from a STUDENT athlete perspective. Also, things change...

I’m wondering if the Big10 put some requirements of us adding a few non revenue sports and that is some issue. That interview stunk and the luster of Rad’s hire wore off long ago.

Ferman doing the interview was really the icing on the cake for that disaster.
