What difference does it make? Teams like Missouri and Kentucky will give Texas all they can handle. Just look at the murderers row of teams they lost to over the last few years. And look at the damaged goods they have as a head coach. That’s the guy you bring in as your head coach/CEO? I don’t...

I agree in theory, geographically, culturally, etc, but also in theory, and only in theory because no one reputable has even hinted this is being discussed even preliminarily, some move to this conference may be our only, and best option, depending on how the dominoes fall, if they fall.

You may be right, and you’ve had a lot of good posts on this topic regarding possible scenarios, but Mike is about as plugged in to the players in this scenario as you or I. I’m not berating the logic of the argument with respect to him (or you), I’m just cautioning that people read this tweet...

Never

Two different schools, with two different booster bases, and two completely different revenue streams, but how many national championships have we won since the puppy dogs won their last one? Even with all the bags they give out. Just a little something that kind of puts it in a little...

Absolutely live sports is a highly valuable commodity, but it has to meet profit goals. They’re doing better than they were, but it has yet to translate to Disney’s bottom line in a significant way, and this latest information doesn’t necessarily help their image.

I came to these conclusions on my own just based on the way the streaming business is going, and ESPN’s inability to adapt. I had not read this article - wasn’t even aware of it. It’s not an uncommon thought among people that follow the company I’m sure. Doesn’t take a great amount of intellect...

Your criticism of the artistic merits of their offerings aside, this is the point I was making above about how ESPN is getting to be an underperforming nuisance to Disney. I must have missed this article.

ESPN isn’t a going concern. They are a pimple on Disney’s ***. I’m not sure where you got your information, I would love a link. If any of that is actually comes to pass, Disney may be shedding layers of management and doing a major reorg at ESPN, maybe looking to sell off that business, in...

You hear that noise? So do I. It’s the the low hum, and nothing else, coming from the NCAA. Not a word. You know what Emmert said two weeks ago, right before all this broke. ”Emmert told reporters the NCAA's mission ought to be reconsidered and reduced. Without promoting the specifics of a...

…and they’re still going to lose money for Disney

In the bigger picture, ESPN has been a pain in the *** for Disney, both from a net revenue standpoint and in transitioning to DTC. You can sense the frustration when Bob Chapek makes comments like “having to thread the needle” between ESPN’s linear cable business and transitioning to premium...

So in essence, add a South Division to their East and West Division. I haven’t read every post in this thread, but I don’t see a lot of stuff that makes sense, this does at least seem like a viable possibility. Whether it’s a mutual absorption, or they just cherry pick 7 teams from the ACC...

You already know why I upvoted you

Get one west coast team to play six games 3,000 miles away? Every year?

Miami has some cultural loyalty, but it doesn’t bring in dollars. In Texas case it’s cultural loyalty backed by oil dollars. That’s the difference.

Yet has the highest revenue stream in CFB and Miami has a better record over the last ten years.

My knowledge is granular, limited to IRB (institutional review boards)/clinical trials.

Lots of other schools get that same money without being members. If the vetting process is meeting the standards, which all vetting processes are, then what’s the difference?
