    The UM admin made it a toxic asset by 20 years of neglect. If I told you in 2004 that UM would have one 10 win season and one division title in the next 20 years, you would think that the only possible explanation is that UM got the death penalty. It would be somewhat comforting if that was...

    From one veteran to another , thank you for your service, and knock it off with the insults.

    Your math doesn’t quite add up. Whether they get us now or later isn’t going to make it substantially more expensive. Let’s say the media full shares are 100 million per team in the SEC and B1G. That’s the price. Add another team, the P2 teams aren’t going to dilute their shares. Network...

    I doubt you are older, but if you are, then you should be old enough to know not to post stupid accusations.

    F&ck off with your accusations of trolling. I started posting on UM fan forums while you were still trying to fingerbang your fat 6th grade girlfriend on the back of the school bus. Big12 will probably raid the ACC if the ACC doesn’t survive in some form. Big12 has a joint media deal where...

    4 games a year, which may not be scheduled every season (other than FSU) justifies paying for 100 million per year for a team that, if the trend of the last 15 years continues, could hover around .500 in perpetuity? Look I am a UM fan so I’ll put the most positive spin on it to any outsiders...

    The problem is that we have been saying that for almost 20 years. How confident can network execs be that UM isn’t going to go back to its cheap ways if Cristobal fails, then the B1G gets stuck with a program that leeches off it ? That was ACCs perception of us. And now we are talking triple...

    FSU still isn’t AAU accredited. People can say it’s a formality but the AAU members are generally very selective and I don’t think fsu meets the criteria. The AAU looked at both USF and FSU last year, but only extended an invite to USF. FSU has far more name recognition but it didn’t...

    There isn't much reason for them to spend a dime in court. They will let the Acc and FSU fight it out, then when they realize that both sides are equally f*cked (whoever loses will appeal and it will take years and tens of millions in legal fees to get sorted), they will bring in espn to...

    I wonder what it means for the program if we find out that UM voted to sue FSU. Either UM really loves the ACC, doesn't have an invite to the P2, or just wants to bleed FSU for the entertainment value.

    Only every 5-10 years? That's **** impressive stability. My units reorganized every 2 years because the the junior officers running the units rotated every 18 months and they needed to have something to write on their OPRs. "Dynamic shift of unit persnl, incrsd efficiency 32.4%, saved USA 167k“

    Because Rad already has a track record of making unbelievably short sighted decisions without thinking of the long term implications. You know why are in this mess with the GOR in the first place and have teams suing the ACC? It's because Rad was one of the biggest cheerleaders for signing a...

    Manny Kadre... Sounds like a made up name. It would be funny if he turned out to be Manny Diaz with a Snidely Whiplash moustache.

    Every time someone says the UM brass is forward thinking and isn't going to whiff on this opportunity - I have to ask, then how did we end up with JD Arteaga as the HC of baseball? The tiny glimmer of hope I have is the new chair of the BOT ( Silver) is phenomenonal, so maybe she can force Rad...

    I think it will be NC St instead of UVA. The NoVa market is desirable, but I don't think there is a massive UVA fanbase, and bringing NC St with UNC avoids the headache of dealing with the NC legislature.

    If the B1G doesn't extend an invite (say it gets ND + FSU and says it is done expanding for now), then joining the Big 12 would be making the best out of a terrible situation. It's a desperation option similar to what Stanford had to take- Join a conference across the country or get hung out...

    There is that as well. Cable TV is dying, but we keep looking at this as if Fox and ESPN have infinite money and will happily agree to proportionally increase the payouts to the SEC and Big 10. If the networks don't see new teams as being worth 100 million per year each in ad revenue (which...

    How do you figure? The Big 12 deal is only for six years and ends in 2031. It pays out approximately 50 million per school, not including CFP money. If the B1G is paying out 100 million per year (it's doesn't get north of 90 million until 2028 but I'll round up in your favor) and offers UM...
