Must have missed that ... as far as everything I have ever read or heard Miami was NEVER a take for the SEC and has been Big10 bound 100% as far as "realignment" is concerned.My question is when did the board "consensus" determine the SEC was not an option?
That certainly wasn't the case a few months ago when folks here had us at or near the top of the list for the SEC?
What changed?
I know they refuse to say Miami. With that said, it is also a possibility that UNC and UVA are willing to take 1/2 shares and Miami isn't. I wonder if that is the case and that is how Miami ends up getting locked out of expansion this round.

YesDon't want to get stuck in quagmire here, but CIS has had more than one SEC vs B1G "which do you prefer" poll within the last 12 months.
Folks debated the better fits, which conference they preferred for UM and why.
The threads wasn't filled with a bunch of "Miami has zero chance at the SEC, so why are we discussing this" comments ...
At the time, most posters seemed to feel like we somewhere between a puncher's chance to really good shoot at either.
@JeddTheFisch
Is my memory right on this?
Oh I know certain people (ahem) keep saying "I prefer the SEC" but I have never thought there was ever a shot at that happening. FSU / Clemson, absolutely, but small, private university like Miami, nope.Don't want to get stuck in quagmire here, but CIS has had more than one SEC vs B1G "which do you prefer" poll within the last 12 months.

SEC ... 0 .... unchanged from ANY time in the past few years at least.So where do folks think we stand in the current SEC-B1G order of prefernce?
No so long it seems like folks had us a neck and neck for the top sport.
Now?
How much (if one even exists) of a drop is due to FSU bellowing incoherently like your ****-faced uncle after 10 beers at Hooters?
Don't believe it has been a matter of not being "cooperative", but rather it is a crappy conference with mostly bottom tier programs that don't have anyIn addition to the academics side, SEC was never a legit option for Miami due to espn being poor and not being cooperative to acc
Negative.Got to believe that Frenk would take Radakovich's recommendation on this.
Didn’t they already get slighted? Only conference Champions get byes. That makes it very tough.
I get that aspect of it. That’s brand recognition-based. Merit based implies we’ve actually earned it doing something meritorious like winning titles lately. We haven’t. We’ve never won the ACC. We’re living off the brand from 20 something years ago.
If the Noles guy is correct and SEC takes FSU and Clemson and B10 takes UNC and UVA, it seems like we’re the odd ones out.
Where do we go in that scenario?
Starting to feel like it’s more likely that the ACC expands than anyone leaves though :/
Alex, I will buy you a beer at the Titanic if you're right!!
All of the comments for the past 2 months have been "conference realignment is 100% media driven" .... "TV math focus of FOX is on programs than can have 4 million viewers per game for major games" .... "FOX priority of ACC programs based on VIEWERSHIP is FSU, Clemson, Miami, in that order".Please, I am begging people...THINK about this...
If the FSU-Clemson-SEC scenario works out...
And you BELIEVE Flugar...
Then you would have to believe that FOX is overriding all the academic stuff...AND taking the "lesser" football school and viewership draw in VIRGNIA...over the last remaing relevant school in FLORIDA, and a school that has SUPERIOR viewership numbers to BOTH North Carolina AND Virginia...and leaving behind all that extra cable carriage money...
People have to stop opening up their gaping tailpipes for every banana coming off the banana boat.
All for some uninformed and/or biased and/or INTENTIONALLY anti-Miami articles...
Come on, now...
I mean if we take a step back without orange and green glasses… Virginia is also a growing state as people move out of DC. But that aside, UVA and UNC are both large state schools with top notch academics and huge alumni bases, and that looks a **** of a lot more similar to the rest of the conference. I’m not saying we don’t get a spot but it’s crazy for people to not understand why these schools are being discussed and that this is a very conceivable outcome.
People are going stir crazy on herePlease, I am begging people...THINK about this...
