Rudy Fernandez calls the shots at the end of the day. I'm not a fan of his and quite frankly he's clueless about athletics just as much as Julio Frenk. He hired JD Arteaga and then his latest episode on twitter going after the OBB for even questioning that it's possible to justify coach L...

Boston College this year is the only one I can remember in recent memory lol

From a Miami perspective I always had preferred SEC to be our destination. Geographically it is better for sure. Bottom tier games against Vandy, South Carolina, Miss State, Missouri, Kentucky, etc. are still far better than Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern, Rutgers, etc in the B1G. But the idea...

If there's 32 or 36 teams in the P2 in college and they all have to play each other or play 10 of their 12 games against those schools... a lot of them will be "bad" Everyone can't go 8-4 or better. You would be seeing a typical quality program losing 7-8-9-10 games. That could very easily end...

Won't matter at all when the SEC and B1G govern their own playoff. No one outside their bubble will be included End goal will be the conferences rid themselves of programs like Vanderbilt, Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, Rutgers, Illinois, etc. in favor of Miami, UNC, Clemson, etc whoever is...

Although I will say after looking further I have no idea how those are calculated because the LSU game had 6+ million viewers. The other number I saw for full season viewership was basically only driven by the LSU and Clemson game. Obviously a team hanging in the top 10 and playing on ESPN/ABC...

FSU drawing that number is attributed solely to being the only game on TV on opening weekend on a Sunday night against LSU. Everything else was very close across the top 5 programs in that list.

Everyone I have spoken to has said Miami is going to be left out, at least initially, and are between 5-8 on the list of schools to leave the conference. This is national media, ADs, other administrative positions in the SEC and B1G. Clemson really isn’t as high demand as people assume either...

Most are quiet on Miami because other schools are talking to both SEC and B1G. Miami is only interested in the B1G and only the B1G is interested in Miami. SEC really isn't an option at this point for various reasons and both the school and conference preferences.

If Clemson truly found a way out of the GOR and exposes that loophole.. things will happen really fast. There's probably 9 schools that want out. The others want to stay and keep the ACC alive. 5 of the 9 schools that want out probably don't have anywhere better to go just yet. So that's...

I’ve said I think we’re left behind… at first. We’ll eventually get out but we’re not going to be first, second, or third. Once the dominoes start falling, if Clemson and FSU go to the SEC it will happen faster for us. IMO the landscape is going to completely change and Fox and ESPN will have...

Has to be associated with naming rights or sponsorship on their new stadium right?

I agree. I've said I don't think the BOT will let him do it. But for some strange reason, he engages in those talks and that would be his preferred course. Surely his term is coming to an end in the near future. I remember hearing the board was vetting the next potential presidential...

It won't be the ACC, per say. This is after it dissolves, falters, breaks apart, ends, or whatever happens. The bold is the plan. It's a group of the schools that are aware that they're being left out or contingency planning. It's something administrators at Duke have pondered for years...

The administrators that are pushing for this kind of conference. I think it's being driven by someone at Duke. Either AD or president I'm not sure. Just something I've heard the last few weeks.

Would have rather had them than expanding into California. Also, guess it is private and/or academic power houses. Not both simultaneously. Rice was one of the last teams mentioned to me if they need numbers but can't pull all the schools they want. Tulane was another ahead of them. They also...

If that excites you... you'll love what's on the table and where Frenk would like it to go. A conference of the best academic private schools with Stanford, Cal, SMU, Duke, Wake, Rice, etc. Luckily I don't think the rest of the powers in place allow it to go that direction.

Definitely killed the urgency to add Miami. Personally I think the NCAA or some organization gets together and consolidates and mandates the whole thing or ponies up cash that leads to a model where There will be a few large conferences, no one left out but organized divisionally. Sort of an...

When FSU and Clemson and possibly more dip out that gives ESPN the opportunity to renegotiate/adjust the $ on the contract. When they dipped, payouts would put us even further behind. It’s blatantly obvious numbers aren’t there to dissolve the conference, Fox doesn’t want Miami like they do...

Yes
