Does Shalala still have any influence in Big 10 circles?

Agreed, it’s disappointing that UM’s leadership would support this stupid move that just temporarily delays the inevitable collapse of the ACC.

NC State voted no? That’s hilarious. Unless they have an iron clad agreement to be a package deal to get UNC.

It would be ridiculously stupid if the ACC added Cal and Stanford just to appease Notre Lame as a way to eventually lure them into the conference as a football member. When Notre Lame finally decides to join a conference for football they are going to the Big 10. Their previous concerns about...

Wait, there are still ACC homers who want to stay in a collapsing conference? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not hard to understand: Link: https://amp.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/unc/article263209858.html The number is six. There’s talk around the ACC that there doesn’t have to be a major upheaval for the league’s demise. If just six current members decide they want out and legally...

The GOR escape clause is straight forward… at least six ACC schools need force their way out and challenge the GOR and it is no longer legally binding. DanRad has already reportedly aligned UM with the schools trying to escape.

I am not anointing DanRad as a savior yet, but imagine trying to navigate this realignment mess with Julio Frenk and Flake James running the show. It would have been hello Sun Belt Conference.

Stanford excels in the Olympic/non-revenue sports. They are non-factors in football and men’s basketball.

Any concern from the SEC that they are locked into a 10 year deal with one media entity… ESPN that is in a terrible financial situation? ESPN wouldn’t or couldn’t even pay them more to go from 8 to 9 conference games… are they going to pay more to add new conference members?

99% of Cal and Stanford alumni have literally no idea their schools have athletic programs and that their conference has collapsed. The fact that the ACC is even considering these two deadweights (and in Cal’s situation a deadweight with a mountain of financial debt)… shows the desperation of...

The Big 12 might have the best conference commissioner, I’ll give them that much.

I think the B1G is a better fit for the ’Canes… more urban markets (Chicago, LA, D.C., etc.), not the same type of ridiculous spending on facilities as the SEC, etc.
