show me ONE national pundit that has MIAMI to B1G prior to 2030

with us moving? Sure on a long enough timeline, we’re all going to DIE too. But that one dude nailed it. The one YOU ALL clowned on. We’re trapped till 2030 and our admin is maneuvering like it.

But the Oregon stopped us, house stopped us, our football attendance, our dedication to football . Holding onto AAU as your sole HOPE is reading into something. You’re telling me our admin ONLY wanted AAU for conference realignment? FSU going for it and failing was for THEIR SEC overlords? AAU is any academic schools goal. You can’t read into it as anything OTHER than a single check the box on a multitude. Otherwise you’d be saying USF to B1G. So AAU doesn’t mean anything on a standalone BASIS

It is difficult to see a path of Miami moving out of ACC prior to the SINGULARITY occurring.

Difficult, but not impossible.

Of course UM had been working on AAU for academic reasons, as is FSU. BUT there were multiple reports at the time UM received approval that "the B10 programs wanted both UM & ND to have it now for realignment purposes". FACT is until the House Settlement is done ... nothing is being announced. That isn't some broad conspiracy or sign of inept management ... it is a fact that schools won't be in a position to evaluate their ability to compete going forward, until the guidelines (roster limits, scholarship management, final annual payout penalty) etc. are defined.

We were predicted to be the B1G, SEC and XII with no relevance to the House Settlement in this thread, now it is being used as a barrier to why we are not yet there.

Sure, currently, you have to wait and see to evaluate, but the House Settlement is not the reason we are playing 2025 football in the ACC

No, the FACT that the conference media partners put the brakes on realignment actions - right after the VENU sports steaming deal was halted- is the reason the next wave was delayed. Now insert the House Settlement as the latest “box” that needs to be checked before things can be cranked up again. This is not a static situation - a lot of moving parts. The Clemson / FSU victory vs the ACC has made the next wave economically viable with defined costs. That didn’t exist just a few months ago.

FSU/Clemson winning is also a new concept to accept on CIS… there was a really strong stretch of them being complete idiots to our posters…

And what if FSU goes to SEC and we go to Big10?

I bet FSU drops us just like UF did.

Not a chance- like I said then Florida becomes an in conference annual game for them - just changes roles with Miami essentially.

Plus sec and big ten doing scheduling agreement.

The networks not going to lose one of the on average top 10-15 most viewed rivalries for tv ratings. The whole point of this world is matchups.

You worry too much

Yeah, it's not like the Texas vs. Texas A&M rivalry was discontinued for over 10 years when A&M went to the SEC. And the SEC and B1G schedule agreement will definitely allow Miami to face FSU every year instead of doing some round robin thing like every year in the basketball B1G vs ACC scheduling.

No one knows what will happen if FSU goes SEC and Miami goes B1G. You may be right, but to outright say "not a chance" to the rivalry going away or at least not played yearly, just seems way premature as well.

Powers that be do not "care" about the rivalry nearly as dearly as everyone thinks.

It will be MONEY FIRST, whoever Miami plays to generate that money a very distant second.

💯

1938-1987: UM-UF 49 regular season games

1987-2025: UM-UF 7 regular-season games

Once FSU joins the SEC and assuming we don't, the frequency of our rivalry games with the Noles will quickly devolve into this every once in while deal we have now with the Gators.

The inevitable SEC-B1G challenge isn't just going be 20-something schools playing home-and-homes, then rotating opponents every third year while the Canes and Noles play every season into perpetuity

We have no idea what Miami is doing. With what we know (facts) they seem to be keeping their cards close, and playing the ones they have with skill.
