MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

Cane brotha, how is the SEC not a "perfect scenario" for us?

Those who insist SEC schools will conspire against Miami (not saying you) cannot seriously believe a conference including the likes of Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin and inevitably Notre Dame wouldn't operate the same way.

UM (and CIS) will have to live with conspiracy theories — real or imagined — wherever we end up

Personally, I prefer the SEC for sports, but as an alumna, I prefer the Big 10 for academics. Can’t have both, so neither is perfect.

Well, in that case, I appreciate it. That’s very kind of you.

But just so everyone knows, I seriously don’t care. I don’t expect nor want to be treated any differently.

Where are they putting it? Pretty sure their campus is around the size of ours, but then again, they don’t have a lake in the middle. Also, they probably can build a much smaller capacity.

Ah, so it’s a reno. I misunderstood and thought the OP meant they were building a brand new one. Thanks for clarifying.

I see. Wow. I’m reading about it now. And they reduced capacity by 30%, but it looks like it’s going to be really, really nice. I had no idea.

Wish we had the space for something like that.

Remember that time Clemson and FSU were a sure thing out the door? ACC was dead conference walking?

What changed since then? Someone learned how to read a contract?

Their fanbases have finally STFU about it and ACCEPTED were five years away…

Now look at the last 30 pages of this THREAD…

I hope we get an SEC or B1G option. I wake up after nightmares about losing in the Big 12/13/14/15/16/17…..
