It's not all about money and investment ... if it were SMU would buy it's way into the Big 10 or SEC. Their boosters have more money (actual money) than Ruiz ever dreamed of having. In a matter of 24 hours a group of SMU boosters committed 200 million dollars ... so SMU's offer to the ACC was "we will play for 4 years and take NO media distribution". A couple of SMU boosters said "heck, we would play for free forever just to get out of where we are". Firmly believe UM ends up .... eventually .... in the B10 but it might take a couple of years.Yeah build a football facility and kill the program? Gtfoh

Not having a vote Is not the same as not counting the votes. They did. They didn’t have enough so they saved a more public optics play and embarrass Stanford and Cal for no reason.
I know and understand @TheOriginalCane ‘s take that no vote happened so maybe Miami is playing coy and thus this being counted as “not a no(but maybe not a yes)” thing but if I’m being honest Miami is at best a player of 4d chess but never 8d. In the old days checkers only. Giving Rad the benefit of being Kasparov here despite signing off on the original suicide pact while at Clemson. We shall see.
The Titan submersible had one too...
Why are we blasting Rad and 14 other AD’s who signed the ACC/GOR deal several years ago? I don’t think any of them (or anyone else) could foresee what’s happening right now with realignment. Nobody was really talking about it until Texas and Oklahoma announced they were joining the SEC in 2021. While it wasn’t the greatest decision at the time, I’m sure everyone who’s part of it regrets the **** out of it now. The fact they signed or agreed to it years ago has nothing to do with their current feelings.You’re assuming he thinks staying in the ACC will kill the program. The guy was cheering on the GOR deal a couple of years ago.
Disagree, the powers that be decided they did not want us to win. Terry Porter made sure of that. If I had the stomach to watch that game over again I am sure I would see other questionable calls that went the other way.Agreed. But we were lucky to be in the game at the end.
They should've used the beyond unacceptable delay of the launch of the ACC Network by eSECpn (which essentially gave the B1G and SEC a massive headstart and allowed them to realllllly separate themselves financially) for some sort of leverage or weakening of the length of GoR. They could've done this as it became moar and moar apparent that basketball (even as we idiotically allowed the hoops schools to run the conference) wasn't nearly as valuable in this new landscape and that the additions that were made to the conference via expansion (sadly, like us) weren't nearly as successful football-wise as hoped and needed.Why are we blasting Rad and 14 other AD’s who signed the ACC/GOR deal several years ago?

Yes ... agreement reached in 2016 and ACCN not launched until 2019. The landscape was already different.They should've used the beyond unacceptable delay of the launch of the ACC Network by eSECpn (which essentially gave the B1G and SEC a massive headstart and allowed them to realllllly separate themselves financially) for some sort of leverage or weakening of the length of GoR.

Given the opportunity they will be the biggest "bag dropping" program in NCAA history ... again. They will attempt to buy every 5 star recruit every year and nobody will be able to match their oil money. There is a reason they were given the death penalty in 1987.I’m probably weird but that makes me want to take them. Gotta respect that commitment by them, someone who is willing to go to those lengths just needs an opportunity and they will have a lot of success
Times change. They were all very short sighted in retrospect.You’re assuming he thinks staying in the ACC will kill the program. The guy was cheering on the GOR deal a couple of years ago.
They wanted that ACCN ... bad.Still scratching my head at all the morons that signed that ridiculous longggg term espn GOR contract.
one of them is our AD lolStill scratching my head at all the morons that signed that ridiculous longggg term espn GOR contract.
