Disagree. We shouldn't accept a reduced share. If they try to pull that on us, then join the SEC.

Hope so.

If they offered $25M per team, six would vote "no" because the Big 12 would be more lucrative. In fact I think the Big 12 is paying more than the ACC is currently, so any reduction at all would be met with resistence. I think the scenario laid out is pie in the sky from ESPN. Not only do I...

July 1 is two and a half months away. There's no chance a settlement is going to happen that quickly.

Are you sure Miami would be required to sign off? The GOR is already signed, that required unanimous signoff but they already have that through the term. I'm not sure if signing a revised media agreement with ESPN would require unanimous consent or just a 3/4 majority, or half.... I'm not...

It's offputting to me how people and companies twist the law to suit their own ends. 'Trade secrets' are intended to be something that differentiates you from your competition like McDonald's secret sauce or the formula to Coke. What ESPN is calling a 'trade secret' is nothing but a *******...

If you’re not proud of what this program has accomplished with 5 natties then you’re no Cane. And if you can’t say with your chest that Miami has earned its spot at the top then you’re weak. If Canes fans aren’t going to talk up the Canes then who is? Keep dreaming buddy, you couldn’t bully...

Nebraska is absolutely a blue blood program. Miami, Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC, FSU and Notre Dame are the ONLY blue bloods in college football, full stop. Everyone else is a tier below. Notice that includes teams like Texas, LSU, Ohio State and Michigan….a tier below. The teams...

Why do you think the CFP regulations will become tighter and require conference affiliation? People seem to bend over backwards for Notre Dame, I don't see anything that would force that to change. If anything, these latest CFP discussions made it EASIER to stay independent for ND because they...

Well how about that. Never knew.

If I were the Big Ten, I would be a hard "NO" on any formal scheduling arrangement or partial membership agreement with Notre Dame. Yes, it might make financial sense to a degree, but you have to weigh that against the toxicity that it would cause. Look at the ACC. Part of the reason this...

Miami and FSU should be travel partners to any new conference. It would be extremely asinine weren't the case and I have to believe the decision makers are smart people.... but then again people have surprised me in the past. Miami and FSU independently are both valuable to the P2 on their...

Is it really? Then I learned something today, I always thought it was private. It looks so small.

But none of those schools is Miami, with 5 national titles and 9 title appearences in the last 40 years. Stanford is a phenomenal school, but the Big Ten already passed on them once. Duke (IF IF IF football continues to improve). - well I have to take a shot here, it's too much of a layup...

And Vanderbildt (SEC). Really the point was, though, there’s only one football power that’s a private school in the SEC footprint, and we’re it. Unless you consider Miami on the level of Georgia Tech and Tulane, which I don’t believe anyone does. So in other words, saying the SEC won’t take a...

The other argument that favors the SEC from Miami’s perspective is UF. Right now, the most lucrative game on Miami’s schedule is our rivalry with FSU. We get to play that game in Hard Rock every other year. Now imagine if UF and FSU and Miami all played in the same conference. Then we would...

There are really only three private schools with the football cache to play in the P2, unless I’m totally forgetting someone. USC, Notre Dame, and Miami. Because that subset is so small, I argue that the fact the SEC hasn’t taken any private schools is not indicative of their willingness to do...

You know we’re good. And one thing I like about you is that, unlike 90% of the people on this board, your mind is capable of understanding nuance in an argument. Keep in mind, then, that all I really said was that I was surprised people have COMPLETELY discounted the SEC (not you, but people...

But Big 10 is also mainly large public schools. Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, etc. Also, we are in the SEC geographic region. I do somewhat agree that the “fit” is better in the Big Ten but there are “fit” considerations that favor the SEC as well though, like travel for non-revenue...
