I'm hopeful we land in the B1G but how would we feel about the following hypothetical: Miami lands in the B1G as part of a package deal that includes fsu (no fsu, no Miami). The package deal further provides fsu with a full share, while we agree to accept a half share for x number of years. If...

Until shown otherwise, this is probably the more practical view.

+100 Our actions will tell us where we stand. When (hoping its "when" and not "if") we file suit and/or take a stand, that will tell everyone we have a landing spot. Silence doesn't mean we don't have one today, but it does mean for whatever reason (liability, strategy, diplomacy, etc.), we are...

Not filing a lawsuit doesn’t necessarily mean that Miami does not have a landing spot in the Big 2; however, filing a lawsuit would seem to indicate that we do have a landing spot in the Big 2. Why tear apart the ACC unless you are guaranteed a better deal elsewhere? F$U and Clemson have a new...

I wanna play. Let’s assume hypothetically Miami has a spot with the B1G and it too files suit against the ACC raising similar contentions. Does ESPN sue the conference for breach of contract knowing Miami (and potentially others) are going to FOX? Can ESPN selectively enforce its rights or are...

The judge can also determine that the contract between ESPN and the ACC is valid given Phillip’s apparent authority to act on behalf of ACC members (he’s the **** Commissioner after all). This can be true notwithstanding Phillip’s lack of actual authority to transact which required a vote. In...

I agree except I’d put BC in the “very strong” category and not “top tier” category. BC is NOT on the same level with Cal, Stanford and Duke.

Lots of 👀 on Rad right now. Not sure why we have not joined F$U’s suit against the ACC. Perhaps, we don’t have a guaranteed landing spot as some have mentioned. Still hoping Rad and the power brokers get us into the B1G soon. In the meantime, I will sit back and enjoy the wisdom of Rad’s JD...

Interesting developments for sure. Has anyone confirmed whether playing the role of “interested party” means we are proactively working behind the scenes to exit the ACC following a favorable ruling? Given our history of being a “day late and a dollar short” I’m afraid we will find ourselves...

I read the amended complaint (bored during my lunch hour) and it’s revealing. The first thing that came to mind is how our beloved University has been treated (repeatedly) over the years. It’s comical to think that many refuse to acknowledge the bias against the University and our football...

$$$ Prison Mike did not suddenly transform himself into some top shelf recruiter. F$u and other teams are starting to deliver some large money 💰. They are paying above market causing the market to reset at a higher level. You can’t blame the kids. Take the money and spend Year 1 in...

Love it when members post data, but the number of households is forecasted starting with 2021! The trend is probably still valid notwithstanding, but would love to see actuals for 2021 and 2002. The trend is problematic for ESPN unless they up their subscription game or launch a viable network...

This is a head scratcher for sure. I’ve got serious concerns about our future and it has to do with alignment. And, I’m not talking about conference realignment but rather alignment within the University and with other ACC member institutions seeking to leave the conference. This decision...

We are headed to the B1G.

My post above doesn’t mean I believe Miami will be “left holding the bag” but that others will make that argument against us.

The benefit to f$u making noise and throwing a public tantrum is that they can easily convince recruits there’s a plan to leave the ACC. And their recruits will take comfort in “thinking” they will play in a P2 conference (either the B1G or SEC), unlike Miami which will be left holding the bag...

Agreed. But not because you cannot make the playoffs. It can happen with the expanded format. But every single other aspect of your program will suffer and you will always lack the funds to compete with the big boys and consistently attract the 5 ⭐️ talent. That’s why you get left behind.

Having lived and worked in ATL for nearly 7 years, I can confirm this view. ATL is more a college football town, than a pro town. The hierarchy of teams is as follows: Georgia Alabama GT Clemson Tennessee GT is a distant third, BTW.

DeSantis will not pass on an opportunity to stick it to Disney. That part is believable and probable. Hopefully, Rad and others can leverage that DeSantis’ dislike for Disney to our advantage while letting f$u take the heat from the media and others.
