Yes, I know that CA is a large state, but the Big10 already has a foot in the CA market. GT would add the Atlanta market and raise their payout by adding a new state. They know have Washington, Oregon and California, so adding Georgia makes more sense IMO. The Big10 is on a land grab and GT...

Never said Stanford wasn't desirable or that GT is a better academic school, but the Big10 already has USC and UCLA for the CA market, so getting GT and the Atlanta market could be highly desirable. Getting into GA is going to raise the Big 10's payout by adding another state. Bottom line, no...

Nothing would surprise me at this point, but I think people are sleeping on GT going to be the Big 10...academics and the Atlanta market make GT very attractive to the Big 10. I get GT isn't a large TV draw, but that's not the point, the point is opening up Atlanta to the entire Big 10, which...

I was refuting the other poster who said MARKET size matters. I agree Rutgers and Maryland are not hot beds for college football fans, but if you think Atlanta falls into that same category, I don't know what to say. Atlanta is #7 and GA is a hot bed for college football fans...it goes beyond...

Yes, fans hate us and we've used that as motivation for a long time. But don't think for a minute that if the Big 10 and SEC can stick it to us they won't. Making UM irrelevant as possible actually benefits them more in the long run.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm hoping for the Big 10, so we'll have to see what happens. Miami's leadership doesn't provide a lot of confidence though

That's great, but Atlanta is #7 and IMO GA Tech fits the Big 10 agenda better than UM. Everyone likes to say UM is a hot commodity, but don't forget the hatred towards UM, so if the SEC and Big 10 can stick it to UM they very well may do that. If the Big 10 takes GA Tech and FSU, they secure...

Again, that is TV market, not college football TV market. People in SFLA have a multitude of things to do besides stay at home and watch college football. Heck, the Big 10 could add GA Tech who fits their academic requirements and opens up the Atlanta market, which is #7, as well. I truly...

Considering Oklahoma is still part of the Big 12, the answer is no. Clemson and FSU could go SEC and the Big 10 may want UVA and NC because of the academics (coupled with the fact we haven't been relevant in football for nearly 20 years). The best bet may be the Big 12

If you're implying South Florida is the 1st or 2nd largest college football TV market, you're looking through green- and orange-colored glasses. We rarely ever have home sellouts and the people in SFLA would rather go to the beach, boating, etc than watch college football. Don't confuse...

That may be true, but that's not the point. The ACC wasn't, and isn't, being proactive when it comes to realignment. This is just another example of the good ole' boy Tobacco Road mentality.

ACC is so far behind the power curve when to comes to realignment. Apparently, they were considering adding PAC 12 schools but waited too long as the Big 12 and Big 10 took the schools they wanted. We're in conference purgatory unless something drastic changes...
