He should have left to a better team. That NC State team is built around him and he’s not proven capable of carrying a team right now.

Just as long as that “better team” doesn’t have the words “Miami” and “Hurricanes” as part of its name, then, yeah.
 
Do we have a tv ratings thread? Anyway I will never understand CBS giving up first dibs on SEC to play rutgers vs. USC and whatever BS I already forgot last week lol

2008: CBS and SEC 15 year renewal; 55M’s annually. CBS got the best game of the week plus one double header.

2012: SEC expansion; the start of the rift. ESPN upped their total distribution in order to accommodate the two new members for A&M and Mizzou to get the same amount as the rest of the schools; CBS declined.

CBS has new ownership, their merger with warner brothers was just recently approved by the dozen states suing them, and Comcast split off NBCUniversal and Sky. The CFP is currently at the midpoint of their 30 day exclusive negotiating window with ESPN as they seek to expand.

These two developments along with the three streamers lurking is going to create a TON of value with this expansion…..which is why this PCSA is so ****** cynical and grimy.

I can only imagine the conversations and espionage of information going on right now lol……..Disney is going to pay up but they literally cannot afford to continue being the exclusive partner of the CFP….no one can. It’s going to be too much money.

Inside the bitter split between the SEC and CBS: 'They just dug their heels in. They would not move'

The story of the SEC and CBS is a winding journey that started as a happy marriage, turned quite rocky and then led to a divorce during renewal negotiations in 2020.

Ive read multiple stories, it still doesnt make sense to me, even if you think you can do for B1G what you did for SEC, you dont even get 1st rights on B1G.. You end up with Purdue vs. Rutgers, just dumb business.. I think last season, I watched one game on CBS.. It used to be must see tv weekly.. They making billions so Im not stressing, I just dont see it.

Yes this is why I’m team #accstan ….. duke is also so ****** valuable for espn it’s hard to understate. Duke basketball is blockbuster. Which is partially why i don’t understand why UNC would ever want to risk that partnership but that’s none of my business lol.

SEC boxed us out smh. It’s why FSU didn’t make the tournament last year. Anyways, basically, Jim Phillips predecessor is a moron who combined football and basketball together, he declined to make an ACC network, after ESPN offered to do it as apart of the deal, because his son worked for some company that would be hurt by its creation. That’s why FSU and Clemson addded John swofford, UNC ALUM, and his son to their lawsuit against the ACC.

We could’ve been making more money but UNC didn’t reign in their own plug from watering up the white so to speak lol. And now on the backend, UNC wants to leave the ACC; alongside Stanford who literally has no one where else to go lmfao. There are 5 Carolina schools in the ACC, two Virginia schools, and UNC wants to dip lmfao. They had a Manchurian candidate running the league for 4 decades and didn’t know he was stuffing his pants with stacks while counting the doe smfh….and now they wanna leave the syndicate. **** is crazy.

They not making billions tho, they sold off cuz they were struggling and the media landscape was changing. Paramount didn’t have the money to compete with Disney….same goes for fox who sold off their non Fox News / fox network stuff to Disney last decade.

SMU x Louisville not on here is madness lol. Branding.

Anyways, what this also tells me, and so did last year, is that Bill Belichick is a big ****** draw. People wanna see him fail or win or whatever; they just wanna watch.

Notre dame is crazy to be so hyped cuz they don’t bring in the TV numbers like that. I know where they at for this week, i just mean in general for being on NBC every week etc

This is how you keep Miami without a ranked win..

Thankfully we don’t play them for a while. But it’s not just the media; coaches are disrespecting Duke too. Too many unbeatens still; 35 of them. These next two weeks will cut things down and Duke will be 4-0 both Sundays so they’re straight.

If Clemson wins against Cal, they’ll be ranked. But I highly doubt they will win; i really think they’re awful this year. Want to see JKS elevate his game and crush Clemson. Perfect time for a signature performance on primetime
