Not only that, but they would be telling all of their fans 'sorry, no home games for 5 years' or however long it is and would probably be breaking some type of lease with JoePro Sharkphin Stadium

Right - look at all of the major conference realignments that have happened over the several years... how many of them did the school make comments before news broke that it was imminent? UNC is being forced to say things publicly b/c they are a public school and have to respond to the politics...

Serious question as I am certainly not a lawyer... if FSU wins, that would open the door for all teams in the ACC, right? I can't imagine they would be arguing that they specifically shouldn't be bound to it. So do we think that FSU would be more likely to win if Miami joined? If not, why not...

I wonder how that would work with the GOR since as it is proposed, it would be an optional division for schools to join. One obvious thing could be if enough schools want to go that route and could dissolve the ACC. One would think if this division ever becomes a reality, it is an...

If not, you might say it is a clone of him. Thank you, thank you...

I assume what this guy is saying is all made up but whether or not it is, I could seeing him saying 'GOR' when he meant 'ACC'... hence the 'lot of fear comment'.

I doubt any of this is true, but if it was you have to feel bad for Standford and Cal who can't seem to catch a break

I imagine a lot of those alums looked at the current cost of attendance and said 'no thanks.' I went to Miami and would support my son or daughter going if they got a scholarship to reduce the cost, but at at close to $90K per year there is no way I am putting up that money and I would tell...

Yeah... I was looking quickly for a good graphic, but what you point out is totally valid. This is a better graph as it includes ESPNs overall subs in blue. I included the below information, but the article has good info and is worth a quick read...

I have to think their biggest issue is cord cutters. They charge the cable companies by far the most of any channel and as people move away from subscriptions that require you to have ESPN, their revenue is going to continue to drop. At some point they are going to have to charge the remaining...

I do believe that was part of it, that ESPN hadn't actually offered more money for the extra conference game.

The 'bottom' half of the league (Vanderbilt, Missouri, Mississippi State, etc) are extremely resistant to going to a 9 game schedule b/c they rather have an extra game that they can schedule against an easy opponent to help them get to at least 6 wins in order to make a bowl game. The 'top'...

The NCAA works for the schools and can only (try) to enforce the rules that were agreed upon by those same schools. There are no laws that would allow them to do anything in this case.

If you can't beat 'em... leave 'em?

Clemson joining the PAC 2 to become the PAC 3!

The Colorado vs Colorado St game just had the 5th highest ratings ever for a ESPN game despite not starting until 10PM EST. I imagine this will wear off as people get used to Deion and they inevitably get crushed by USC and/or OU, but crazy numbers that Colorado has pulled so far. Saturday’s...

I don't think he was including Miami in the 3, but rather Clemson, FSU and UNC

Like him or not, there is no denying that Deion has been able to pull massive TV numbers so far

I don't find that surprising though. I work in IT and don't think of people that to go Stanford, Harvard, Yale, etc for actual programming and never have; I always thought of them more the start your own business or go into some type of management/consulting/lawyer, etc.

This is not ACC specific, ESPN is doing this for all of the conferences that they have rights to and just for 'big' games. They are trying to replicate what UFC does. Personally I have no interest in it...
