Yep, just reiterated the point to all the "we are doomed" folks. There are things occurring in the background that we don't know about. But if Pate is openly talking about Miami leaving, then maybe that adds to what others on here have been saying ....

UM’s best dance partner has always been ND. It benefits us more than them, but I’d go along with that if they’re willing to dance and it fast tracks our way into the P2.
The one thing that SEEMS to be clear at this moment ... is that nothing has been specifically finalized YET regarding "who is going where" in the eyes of the media partners who are driving this entire realignment scenario. One comment that I read this am elsewhere was alluding to the comments Josh Pate had heard regarding the "realignment discussions" that are taking place ... sort of everything is on the table being discussed and evaluated. Almost like a version of the draft in which the networks are "picking" their teams to build out the P2. There was even mention of Texas A&M into the B10 in one scenario. That is the scary part ... if they look at new additions that are ADDITIVE IN CARRIAGE FEES TO THE STATE ...then a Georgia Tech would be additive to the B10 and Miami wouldn't be ... to either P2 conference. But for simple BIG GAME PROGRAMMING Miami is still a top 15 brand ... and if we actually get off of our asses this season and have 10 or better W's regular season ... we are back to a degree in visibility and relevance. Needs to happen.
I’m not sure chasing carriage fees deep into the era of cord cutting would be the brightest thing a conference could do. A Georgia Tech would never been more valuable to you than the day they join the conference, and they would be another mouth to feed when the contracts come up in 2030, at which time ESPN, Fox, WBD, NBC, and CBS (especially CBS) will be much poorer than today (and about to get another shakedown from the NFL). You can take hope the tech companies will overspend, but they haven’t shown the appetite to do so beyond the NFL.

What about the ESPN counter suit to FSU? They don't want to come forth with the TV contract and get dragged into court along with the ACC do they? That is why they could just make a deal and transfer TV rights to the SEC or allow FOX and other networks to buy out some TV contract rights? These teams including Miami are worth a lot more $ in other conferences due to better match-ups and more eye balls watching games. I believe when Miami wins more games this year and ratings improve they will be more highly valued by the BIG or SEC. ESPN does only have until February 2025 to extend GOR and that extension was technically illegal because no vote was taken by teams. The commissioner just extended on his own.
Anyone putting UNC that high has their head too far up their own *** to be trusted. UNC might have brand appeal, but their football historically sucks and if they're not packaged with Duke they're even less interesting.

In order, from 1 to 6:1: Notre Dame2: North Carolina3: Florida State4, 5, 6: Miami, Clemson, Virginia7: PittLousville and VA Tech are in the next groupingI put 1 to 3 on their own since there is a big gap between the top 3 and next three. That isn't a dig at Clemson, clemson fans. Just that those three are valued to a level where there is a clear deliniation in the value to the TV networks.
