Wait, GOR is with ESPN? Honest question, I have no clue. I assumed it was a contract between the schools and the ACC

Said earlier but you need a bloc of EIGHT teams to leave at the same time. 2 won’t work. (FSU/Clemson) If you have eight, then you have over 50% of the votes and you can vote to dissolve the ACC and void the grant of rights contract.

Yeah…. but one thing I can promise you….UM administration is definitely pro-money. Just look at what they charge in tuition lol. You want to get UM’s attention, promise them easy, free money…which I think a move like this would be. So for that reason alone, not athletics, I think they’ll...

Y’all gotta remember WHO is writing the checks. It’s ESPN and the TV networks. You think ESPN wants to air Wake Forest vs Duke, or even Wake Forest vs Clemson? **** no. Up to them, it would be Miami vs FSU every week. Or Clemson v Notre Dame. Great matchups make great TV, and great TV...

Could be. But then there’s a part of me that thinks this is a master stroke by ESPN as well. ESPN owns the SEC and ACC. If you’re them, imagine what they must think of the ACC - about half the teams add value to their network (draw eyeballs and advertisers) and the other half are dead weight...

Is Sankey calling the shots, or is it really ESPN? I think ESPN is pulling all the strings here behind the scenes. Follow the money, and they’re the ones writing the checks

If the SEC took half the teams in the ACC, then those teams could just vote to dissolve the conference and nullify the GOR. They would have to take 8 teams for that to work, though…not 2

Blake James is in love with the ACC. Opposite to that…here’s what FSU’s president had to say the other day. “ I just want us to be prepared. My point to (FSU director of athletics) David Coburn and to (new ACC commissioner) Jim Phillips is I don't want Florida State to be left behind. I...

The obvious move for the ACC, which could actually save it but which it will NEVER do….the ACC needs to cut the fat. The biggest problem with the ACC is there are way too many weak teams at the bottom half of the conference. ACC needs to kick out Wake, BC, Syracuse, Pitt, and Duke, and it...

Why do so many of you WANT the ACC to survive? What has the ACC done for us?

Why would we be in trouble? If Miami wanted in to the SEC, there would be a spot for us. Especially if the dominos start falling and the BIG10 makes a move like adding USC, UCLA, Oregon, etc. IMO the BEST thing that can happen for Miami's future is for the ACC to implode and die. This...

This x1000

So here’s another way to think about it. WHO is writing the checks for the SEC? ESPN. So you gotta think, if this realignment is all about TV deals and money, then it’s really ESPN execs in New York calling a lot of the shots behind the scenes. Not so much the redneck schools. Check out...

It’s really up to ESPN. Miami is a valuable property, and we make for great TV. We will have no problem landing in a great spot as long as Blake James doesn’t **** it up. If you want an idea how ESPN sees us, this article from April is telling. They think more highly of us than our own fans...

The whole “blame the fans” narrative is hilarious. “wahhhh the fans don’t donate enough wahhh wahhh” Guess what bud, this is a UM FOOTBALL message board, not a university of miami board. Nobody gives a **** about your excuses. You want more donations? WIN SOMETHING. This whole attitude...

I don’t think anyone has it out for Miami. Nobody wants to see us die. The reason we’re not in discussion for the SEC is probably because we haven’t reached out. We don’t have a good AD who is on top of the situation IMO. We have Blake James. The other thing that will hurt us is the fact...

What this tells you, if it’s true, is that those schools have reached out to the SEC…not the other way around. First, conferences can’t reach out to schools. Second, the SEC kept OU/Texas quiet for over six months, so why would they start leaking now? So if this is true, the source is the...

The SEC has: Oklahoma - blue blood Texas - blue blood Alabama - blue blood Arkansas - average Auburn - blue blood Florida - blue blood Georgia - blue blood Kentucky - garbage LSU - blue blood Mississippi State - garbage Missouri - average Ole Miss - average South Carolina - average Tennessee -...

This actually makes a lot of logical sense. The missing piece is "the champ from the rest of the country".... which we're all just assuming is the ACC/BIG10/PAC/whoever champ. But I think what will probably happen is those three leagues consolidate somehow, merge and drop a lot of the dead...
