    NDs first game of the season will only be available online (Peacock). All games after that will be on NBC and streaming on Peacock. ND is testing the waters to see what kind of numbers they can get with streaming only. Why? I suspect they have very smart people who are thinking of an...

    So it will be bust, because ND isn't going to become a full member of the ACC. They already know they could have been making far more money as a full member of a conference and it hasn't swayed them. The expanded playoffs make it even less attractive now...

    When Miami is winning the stadium is sold out even against G5 squads. The thing the ACC (or any P5 really) enables is Miami to be content with mediocrity since no matter what happens, the team is guaranteed a large payout by the ACC. For those who think the SEC or B1G is the answer, I think...

    Best case scenario: 1. FSU/Clemson bail on the ACC and pay the $400 zillion penalty which gets distributed to the remaining teams 2. ACC falls apart so Miami is no longer tied to an incompetent conference 3. Miami takes the 30+ million share of their distribution and starts a new conference...

    UVA is generally recognized as one of the best public undergrad universities in the country. It also has one of the best law schools of any public university as well.

    It seems the AAC is trying to make power moves and snag all the remaining teams in the Big12. Kudos to them for trying to punch above their weight class. A long time ago, I floated the idea that if the AAC wanted to stand out, it should try to brand itself as the most innovative and flexible...

    If USC makes that A list, Miami makes the A list.

    We were under recruiting sanctions for half the decade- Richt was still dealing scholarship restrictions. So not a fair comparison.

    The silver lining is that if the rug gets pulled out from under Miami and the ACC collapses, maybe the BOT will finally wake the f#ck up and realize that Blake James is a ding dong who isn't even qualified to be a lifeguard at UM, let alone the AD.

    The best was "In 12 years at Florida, I don’t think we ever signed a kid from the state of Alabama. Of course, we found out later that the scholarships they were giving out at Alabama were worth a whole lot more than ours.”

    If this kills ESPN, it will be the best thing to happen to cfb in many years.

    The Germany 1939 reference was mine, so I'll give you my take on your questions. Key thing is to create a credible alternative to the ncaa with rules that enhance competitiveness like allowing fewer scholarships (maybe limited to 60 or so). Then isolate and discredit the legitimacy of the SEC...

    If Clemson could come out of nowhere to become dominant, Miami can do it too. We just need to have a much, much sneakier bag game. They have that church money laundering down to a science.

    SEC is 1939 Germany right now. Their broken promises and blitzkrieg are taking the rest of the world by surprise. All the other conferences can wake up, band together, and immediately stop the SEC in its tracks by forming a new football association that excludes the SEC, or everyone can sit on...

    REALIGNMENT MEGGGGAAAA THREAAAD

    One of the things that is being ignored right now is the sheer incompetence of ACC leadership. The narrative is "the ACC needs to convince ND to be a full member of the conference is going to survive, but ND sees no good reason to give up its independence." If only there was some massive...

    ND cannot join any conference but the acc. Could they sue to try to get out of the contract? Sure. They would also lose. If Ohio State and Michigan left the big10 for the SEC as was rumored (I don't believe it) then I doubt the big10 survives and all the schools will be looking to join...

    This is why I think the smartest move- and one that virtually every fan outside of SEC country will agree on- is to just form a new collegiate amateur football association that excludes the SEC. The SEC schools have ruined CFB with the brazen cheating and have been allowed to get away with it...

    This could be the thing that finally fixes college football, but not in the way most people think. Football can split into the SEC where the players are legally classified as paid professionals (this simply recognizes the fact that they have been paying high school recruits hundreds of...

    REALIGNMENT MEGGGGAAAA THREAAAD

    I fully agree with the approach of freezing out the SEC and all the rest of the teams in CFB (Big 10, Big12, ACC, Pac12, all the G5s) forming a new amateur collegiate football organization, with a hard cap on number of analysts and total staff compensation. For example, say there is a 10...
