Truth.

This is one of the very few media reports on all of this that is worth reading imoWhat does Clemson's lawsuit against the ACC mean? Here are 4 key questions on move that could have massive implications
The result of FSU and Clemson’s legal claims could impact all of college athletics. Will more schools join in? Where could Clemson and Florida State land?sports.yahoo.com
I don't have time to look through 794 pages to see if this has been discussed, so I pose it here - is Miami going independent again a completely impossible scenario or can we do that for a while? In theory, assuming we continue to build and become a regular top 15 team, we could be that OOC game for a lot of these P2 teams, sort of like what ND has done.
If the independent thing was possible financially, we could do that for a few years and hopefully win enough games to become valuable enough to the P2 that we finally choose one to land in. I'd prefer that to going B12.
Any experts wanna weigh in and tell me why it is or isn't possible?
If they could work out enough TV revenue, would there be other reasons why it would be impossible?Impossible. TV deal.
Does anybody think Miami's and Notre Dame's acceptance last summer into the very prestigious and selective Association of American Universities didn't benefit from the Big Ten's interest in both schools?
The B1G collectively has a tremendous amount of clout. Miami and Notre Dame are well-respected institutions, but why wouldn't those school presidents throw their weight around a little to help their conference's cause with future expansion?
Or maybe it all was just a coincidence ...
(BTW, neither Tallahassee CC or FSU are members of he AAU, although the latter is still trying)

No clue if he knows anything. I was just sharing what I saw.People complain about Gaby, but Lake is the reason I can't stand Miami's 247 site. The guy is a cuck.
He is just prognosticating here and knows nothing IMO.
He thinks FSU and Clemson are the two biggest brands in the ACC not Notre Dame and UNC. lol.People complain about Gaby, but Lake is the reason I can't stand Miami's 247 site. The guy is a cuck.

he knows negative amounts of informationNo clue if he knows anything. I was just sharing what I saw.
All good, I wasn't ****ting on you, I was ****ting on Lake.No clue if he knows anything. I was just sharing what I saw.
Borderline Impossible. Not guessing. To do so would be worse at the moment than staying acc most likely. You’d have no leverage in negotiating tv deals. Would get paid but not worth it. There is a reason there are few left and only one is that way out of pure financial choice and opportunityI don't have time to look through 794 pages to see if this has been discussed, so I pose it here - is Miami going independent again a completely impossible scenario or can we do that for a while?

I think we’re ****ed if we go to the BIG12So I think this is absolute bulls*** but....
If Miami went to the BIG12 and said, "You need a big brand to legitimize your conference. I will join but only under the condition that you pay me the exact amount the highest earner in the BIG10 or SEC make, and if they earn more in following years you adjust our contract accordingly", how would we feel about that?
I think we’re ****ed if we go to the BIG12
Notre Dame is an interesting one becasue they're as buttoned up as Miami in terms of not leaking anything. So I just have to use my own intuition but in my personal opinion I don't think ND is going to the B1G anytime soon.
First, I don't believe they want to. Their biggest boosters have always wanted to remain independent... it's a point of pride for them and I think that weighs pretty heavily.
Second, I don't believe that the latest CFP agreement moves the needle for them in terms of wanting or needing to join. They're getting a special carve-out from that deal which pays them better than any Big 12 or ACC team. They have a better TV contract than the ACC teams. I think the delta for them vs what they would be paid in the B1G isn't big enough of an incentive at this point to push them to defy their boosters and join a conference.
I could be wrong though. But gun to my head, I'd say ND isn't joining anything anytime soon IMO.
