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

[Cane44]

looks like we're going to need every dollar of Dana White's donation now that he's a fan. Unless there are names that we don't know (I'm sure there are), I find it hard to believe that the Soffer's and the Mas bros can compete with this.

Here me out. Halftime UFC matches.

Here me out. Halftime UFC matches.

Tough and physical. Kneeling is tapping out.

We back!

 

[Felonious Monk]

No, I am in North Georgia.

And maybe, maybe not. They aren’t guaranteed to get into the SEC, and the FSU/UM game might still bring more money than many of those games.

Gainesville is in North Georgia.

Stanford is a wealthy school. And a worthless Athletic Department.

Their claim to fame is having the second most Olympic medals. Berkeley has the most.

Some of these rivalries will be ended. It’s just how expansion goes. All the NC schools and Va schools won’t be going together

If my NC politicians have anything to say about it, UNC and NC St, will go together.

If there was any athletic dept to rival Hecht in ineptitude during the first two decades of this century, it was Stanford.

Here me out. Halftime UFC matches.

Or a college version of UFC.

There is indeed a Gainesville in North Georgia!

I don’t live there either. But not far from there.

I’ve explained this before, but the SN was made many, many years ago when I was in grad school at UF. Perhaps where it says “Recruit” under my name, I should put “No longer located in Hogtown.” But as I recently told the Gator Tears thread, I do somewhat like to remain a (wo)man of mystery.

Or just let them think you mean Gainesville, GA. It's the internet, you can be anyone, anywhere. For instance, I'm about to dock my yacht at Marina Ibiza, but my IP location is still South Florida.

Styled after the Shalala model long term, no? lol

No. Shalala gave a ****, Shalala did things.

Besides, Stanford has been sitting on a mountain of money for 150 years and spending a minimal amount on athletics for approximately the same time.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Didn’t Stanford win the Directors’ Cup 25 years in a row and finish 3rd in 2024-2025?

So your argument is that excellence in non-revenue "Olympic" sports, which require minimal outlays for facilities and coaches and players, should override a lack of vision and investment in 3 or 4 REVENUE sports, which require far bigger budgets for facilities and coaches and players?

Remind me to never hire you for any kind of job in athletics administration. Yeah, a bunch of "Directors Cups" have turned Stanford into The Cradle of Athletic Directors...yeah, Ted Leland and Bob Bowlsby and Bernard Muir are some real visionaries...

Bacardi ( yes, that Bacardi) has made big donations to the medical school

I mean, yeah, that's what VPNs are for. No need to let the poors know where you're at.

It's not like TMZ won't tell them, but I don't have to make it easy.

That’s football. Stanford focuses on non-revenue, Olympic sports.

Signed,

Peruche

Same thing was said about TAMU letting in Texas to the SEC

 

[TheOGCane]

Let’s get back ON TOPIC guys

 

[Felonious Monk]

Let’s get back ON TOPIC guys

Is it 2034 yet?

 

[Okefenokee Cane]

Miami’s been a silent commit to the Big 10 for long time. Thursday is just the announcement.

Stories, Tails, Lies and Eggzajurashun- that’s the title of Granny Hawkins’ memwahs.

Were those for liver transplants??
