Well said. Playing marquee opponents also is vital to maintaining interest from (and selling tickets to) casual UM fans. Too many entertainment options in South Florida to keep those folks interested with a watered-down conference — particularly if both UF and FSU belong to the SEC, which...

Good list. So many different moving parts. Guessing three full-fledged ACC members would be locks to get invites to the SEC (Clemson, FSU and UNC) and two or three from the Big Ten (UNC, UVa and most likely Puke). Feel like the SEC's preference would be for the Canes to get frozen out of both...

What if the "New" ACC does receive an auto bid to the expanded playoffs, but our conference schedule consists of realignment leftovers like Georgia Tech, Wake, Pitt, Louisville, BC and 'Cuse and call-ups like UCF, USF, Cincinnati and Memphis? Is having an easier path to the playoffs as or more...

Which of these two landing sports for the Canes would be preferable? SEC EAST: Miami, Clemson, UF, FSU, Georgia, Kentucky, NC State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia Tech BIG TEN EAST: Miami, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers...

And instead of hiring someone who could establish and lead a rock-solid culture for a program desperately in need of it, the Horns fell for the hype and brought in a twice-fired recovering alcoholic whose focus above all else always has been on trying to out-scheme those defensive coaches on the...

Yeah, she was great. Texas is the poster child for squandering every possible God-given advantage all the while knowing there always will be another opportunity. Horns down for sure

"Ma'am now that you're done blowing off a little steam, I do want you to know Texas is still leaving behind y'all small-time operators and ain't a **** thing you can do about it. "Have ya a nice day, sweetheart"

Well said. To compare how things were in the 1980's or 90's or even 2000's to where the College Sports landscape sits now is a fool's errand. Nobody — not former thriving independents like Miami or Penn State, not deep-pocketed Texas, not national brand Notre Dame — will find going it alone to...

Not the 1980's anymore, unfortunately. Very difficult to put together a worthwhile schedule that'd bring decent crowds to JRS, especially in October and November as teams we'd want to play would be locked into their conference games. We'd probably be stuck doing late-season home-and-home series...

Contracts are set in stone, then things change, PR statements are made, lawyers and accountants get involved, terms and financial settlements are hammered out, parties go their separate ways — and we're reminded once again that everything has its price. Time will tell on all of this.

Here is the Texas/Oklahoma/ESPN playbook for moving from the Big XII to the SEC — one which no doubt ESPN, Florida State and Clemson (and hopefully Miami, too) will fine-tune and follow in preparation for what's next: Per UT's site on 247 Sports: UT's president met with OU's president in Fall...

Would feel better if UM administration was pro-athletics

ESPN will gradually shift the vast majority of its rights fees spent on the Big XII and (once the exits begin) the ACC and the ACC Network, i.e. consolidate resources and go all-in on the biggest ticket item. Put these like-minded schools with large, football-obsessed fan bases and the...

Yeah, no doubt VPI and NCSU (and maybe even U of L, too) have plenty of really good academic programs to offer. This particular cultural divide in the ACC is more about the historic academic elitism (some would say snobbery) at Duke, UVa, UNC and GT that trickles down from university...

Lots of duct tape solutions being offered: kick out sorry ol' School A or tell School B to find someplace else to house its deadbeat football program or hoodwink Penn State into thinking the ACC is practically as good and financially sound as the B1G or lift the skirt, drop the panties and bend...

Fooling us all by pretending to be clueless

Yeah, at the end of the day we all want The Canes to be great.

College Football national champions since 1998: 1998: Tennessee 1999: FSU 2000: Oklahoma 2001: Miami 2002: 🖕 2003: LSU/USC 2004: USC 2005: Texas 2006: UF 2007: LSU 2008: UF 2009: Alabama 2010: Auburn 2011: Alabama 2012: Alabama 2013: FSU 2014: Ohio State 2015: Alabama 2016: Clemson 2017...

But if they allow FSU, Clemson and Miami, you'll be doing the S-E-C chant from your recliner :)

Bringing Clemson and Florida State (and please God the Canes, too) to the SEC serves a dual purpose that an assistant program director in the greater Greenville-Spartanburg radio market may not fully grasp — verified Twitter account or otherwise. SEC plus Clemson/FSU/UM = another major boost...
