First time he’s been right.

I don't think he was including Miami in the 3, but rather Clemson, FSU and UNC

They might want to take a wait and see approach with Clemson give the trend.

I am DEFINITELY keeping an eye out for if perceptions start to change due to some of these team trajectories

Perfect time for UM to FINALLY go on a run.

Gonna really suck for them when the ACC is no more

Problem with UNC is that they come with NC State as a package deal... the lawmakers in NC aren't going to allow it in any other way

NC State isn't a bad school / football programme at all, but yeah it complicates things

I believe we have learned this thinking is over considering Oregon, Washington and UCLA left their partner schools for better conferences

That HAS BEEN the conventional wisdom ... however with the new realities in realignment there might be a "break from tradition" due to the $$$ involved, the impact of the Media partners, and the fact that "seats at the table" might be limited.

These decisions are not going to be influenced much at all by what is happening this season.

Interesting. Rutgers isn’t in the B10 based upon record at all. Market. I would think Miami should sell the B10 the market in all that means for the other schools and the. eyeballs on TV screens when we are moderately good. Just seems like the B10 is a better sell. But just thinking.

TV value is not about regional market sizes anymore. But we should be very attractive to savvy TV execs.

The B10 has already admitted that that was a mistake ... they took Rutgers "based on proximity to a huge market" but now with the media partners involved ... the REALIZATION is that "viewer draw" is the critical metric. Nobody in that huge "Rutgers market" watches Rutgers / B10 football. Huge fail. The new "baseline metric" is the potential to draw a MINIMUM of 4 million viewers for games vs decent opponents. Miami drew 4.02 viewers for a 3:30 game against A&M. Prime time games between top 10-15 ranked programs will draw 6-8 million. UM fits the profile and just needs to keep winning.

Not at all? What if Miami becomes one of the most viewed teams in the country and or a playoff team? That would have no influence? And what if Clemson takes a nosedive?

Just curious since I haven't seen such a quote attributed to the Big Ten commissioner's office or even any of the other 13 schools
