SMU Jam Pony Express about to run a train on ACC.
You fothermuckers can't handle this kinda heat.
The Big East used to be considered a power conference (albeit a weaker one) before Miami & VT ripped its heart out. We started this.This all started with the Aggies to the SEC. Things were so much simpler before.

Paying the drawing teams more is a death sentence. Look at the B12 for example. They always paid Texas more. It drove away other schools and eventually Texas stabbed them in the back.If they were smart, which they aren't, they'd make sure that Miami, FSU, Clemp'sSon, and UNC start getting SEC/B10 money and just make it merit based - what a noble concept!! Instead of money sucks like Wake Forest getting an equal share just because "that's always the way we've done it," create a rubric that is a composite of media revenue and pay the biggest earners what they're worth.
The ACC botched the last media rights negotiation, but if it wants to remain alive and relevant, that would be the way to do it - incentivize the marquee teams.
I'm certain they haven't even thought of this, but they should give those top 4 teams similar revenue to what they'd be making in one of those big two conferences, then hope that similar money plus an easier path to the playoffs is enough to keep their teams in place.
When is the last time UCLA was relevant in football?Y’all are delusional talking about Miami’s “brand.” We have been completely irrelevant for 20 years (aside from our 2017 campaign where we ended up losing 3 games). We were a dominant force 40 years ago. Yale was pretty nasty in the early 1900s. They going SEC too? As much as it hurts me to say it, college football is a big money business and results matter. We gonna bring our Champs Sports Bowl trophy from 2016 to our meeting with Fox?
I’m trying to remain optimistic that our leadership can find a way to keep the program afloat but our collective decision making has been so bad and spanned across many different ADs and sports.
For them or UM? Where do you think Miami ends up after the dust settles?It's all about timing
Where did all the B10 stuff come from? Seems from out of no where. I thought they were SEC bound, after all, neither is AAU member.I think it's all but public that FSU and Clemson are headed to the B1G.. soon
1.5 year ago we weren't leaving the ACC at all.Oh man…..
@Cribby, @Brooklyndee, @Hurracanes, @DMoney, @Boarcane, @TheOriginalCane, or someone else better pop in to dispute what @JayCane20 is saying, or this fan base is about to go apocalyptic.
RIP to this program if we get left out of the current conference realignment window.
You mean the forward thinking guy who takes longer to hire coordinators than any coach in America?Hard to think with how shrewd and forward thinking Mario is that he’s going to allow us sit idly and be left out. This would really be the death of Miami football.
Mario and for that matter any HC may be advised but will not be in a position to be making such a decision as to conference membership.Hard to think with how shrewd and forward thinking Mario is that he’s going to allow us sit idly and be left out. This would really be the death of Miami football.
