MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread(Its still personal)

[TheOriginalCane]

when the "hill you're dying on" is the high ground lol

Stop bull****ting everyone. You were talking up Washington-Oregon as full-value takes, and they had to ***** themselves out at half-price.

You had NO IDEA that swerve was coming. You were acting like Washington-Oregon were better than most all of the ACC schools, when the reality is that they were worth far LESS than all the ACC schools likely to get an invitation.

Here's my best case scenario:

ACC ponies up big $$$ to keep everyone happy.

Adding Stanford & Cal is a no brainer. Great academics and a classic rivalry. ACC gets west coast exposure.

Add SMU & Memphis & to get into Tennessee & Texas & call it a day.

You forgot one thing: they don’t care about football.

UCF and Cincy just got into the big 12 and begin their first season. doubt they'd bounce now

It's actually the exact time they SHOULD bounce, assuming they have a better offer.

Stanford has been to and won the Rose bowl several times. They usually go to a bowl game.

Stanfors has been to and won the Rose bowl several times. They usually go to a bowl game.

They don’t care anymore. Obv they are a HUGE academic brand. HUGE.

But, IMHO, ACC should’ve called when Oregon and Washington were still there. Whole another ball-game.

What pile of money is the conference sitting on from which they could pony?

IMO, there is no point or choice to salvage the ACC with adding anyone available.. Even as the standalone #3 conference.. Once the Big 2 get up and running, everyone else will get left in the dust..... Those 2 conferences will RUN everything... and the recruits will only want to play in those two...

Rent, property tax, ridiculous homeowners insurance.

Miami has become one of the most expensive cities to live in.

There's a lot more to it than that.

FSU and Clemson are SEC bound
Miami is B10 bound
ND with a scheduling agreement

UNC, NC St, Ga Tech and the rest, who gives a hoot

Good assumption like everyone else.

If you read the tea leaves here from Cribby and the others, you know that this is the most likely outcome. stop being a mope

Sorry, should have said ESPN.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Now we need a 1,000,000 emoji...

This board right now: Why didn't the slow ACC make a deal with the Pac-12 beforehand?
Also this board right now: Oh no, why is the ACC in talks with Stanford and Cal?

That‘s fair but it is also what was said during the Blake James/Manny Diaz dismissal saga.

That's what the loser-mopes can't admit.

That their whole "20 years a loser" justification doesn't hold up under scrutiny when you have hired a new AD and head football coach.

Sure, they can linger on, whining for the first year like "nothing has changed", but very soon their schticks will be cut off.

I first read this as "...their ****s will be cut off."

I thought to myself, ****, @RVACane is no longer ******* around. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill.
