I actually don't think either are super realistic. Mine for the reasons you mentioned and yours because I don't see CFB essentially relegating teams (although I personally wouldn't be opposed to it in a few instances). I basically approached mine as attempting to fit everyone (except the...

This is purely my preference but not what I anticipate happening: SEC: Adds Texas, Oklahoma, Clemson, FSU, Louisville, WVU, NC State & Wake Big Ten essentially merges with remaining ACC (adds Miami, BC, Pitt, UVa, Va Tech, Dook, UNC, GT) AND Notre Dame Pac 12 and remaining Big 12 merge...

Ohhh for surrrre. This is basically just a step above Mike throwing **** against the wall. I think the most he possibly did was speak to someone at the school about hypotheticals and this person (probably a mid-level athletic dept sauce at best) said we're more likely to end up in the Big Ten...

MAGA Mike is just stealing my material. Must've listened to my appearance on the Hank Goldberg Show prior to their show yesterday. That said, it's actually the move I hope we make too but with most of the ACC. The Big 12 and Pac 32 seemingly are content in forming a laughable superconference...

Interesting. You absolutely could be right. The last I saw "scheduling" was being cited as one of the main reasons both were supposedly staying until 2025.

Lin Wood is actually general counsel for the entire conference.

Apologies if posted elsewhere but this always seemed more likely than the "They have the Rose Bowl history!!!!" crowd that predicted a Big Ten/Pac 12 merger. I just play a former Big East commissioner on TV so what do I know but my guess is that if there's any major movement with us that it'll...

Time will tell. I'd also just caution people to not conflate football program $$$ and size with overall university $$$ and legal powers. Sure, it might appear that Clemson could tell the ACC to EAD and that they'll see everyone in court and that they'll be backed by the mighty SEC.....and then...

Apples and oranges situations. I'm sure it's been reiterated ad nauseum here but here's the difference (again): The ONLY way teams are going to be able to leave the ACC is to make 100% sure you kill the conference on the way out the door. Not weaken it. Not make it irrelevant to college...

Anyone that doesn't know UVag is a premier academic institution (even beyond their ultra elite law school) must be living in a cave. In the interest of levity I'd also posit that you'd be hard pressed to find a larger concentration of undergraduate women with more firmly entrenched sticks up...

I wish there would be more financial incentive for the formation of a basketball super conference to kinda force the hands of the Wakes and Dooks and Syracuses and Kansases and even Kentuckys and Marylands. The largely meaningless college hoops regular season combined with the overly generous...

When the sauce pulled Notre Dame from his *** it turned a fantastical hypothetical into a comical one with zero validity, imo. The SEC as constituted including Texas & Oklahoma would have a less than zero chance of convincing Notre Dame to join. In fact, I think they'd muchhhhh sooner join a...

The ONLY way it happens is if a team (or teams) rolls the dice on the conference immediately imploding upon their departure or they think eSECpn would be able to successfully force the ACC to renegotiate the deal. So I don't believe this for a second. Sure, the ACC might end up merging or (less...

I agree with most of what you said and am personally a fan of both LA schools (as universities) but you're glossing over two very large issues with UCLA. They're always going to be USC's baby brother in football in that market and their administration makes Miami look like Baga when it comes to...

The Jor-ja stuff is especially rich because we're only a decade and some change away from their fans that were born right AFTER their last title being eligible to live in most retirement communities.

The numbers are the numbers and you ended your assessment with hope/optimism. It's just funny though how many people will cite what you did and deem us as never coming back but then magically assess the likes of Michigan, Tennessee, etc with much more generous tones.

The fact that UCLA is mentioned is laughable and negates all seriousness of the quote.

That's a very interesting hypothetical. Obviously rankings would come into play even if this was in September. Assuming everyone is a top 10 team and undefeated I like us in that spot nationally especially with Notre Dame (not sure locally). The one that is more tough for me are the remaining...

Let's say we have Miami, UiF, FSU and a reasonable team of your choice all ranked 1-4 but in no particular order. Let's say UiF and FSU are playing the same Saturday as Miami vs Team X. Which game is getting higher ratings if put up against each other on network TV? My money is almost...

I'd favor 4 too but unless the unlikely happens and Texas and Oklahoma are really the only major moves then I actually think we end up with 3 like you mentioned (I'd personally configure those 3 differently but your hypothetical is respectable). With the SEC being a spaz I don't think you can do...
