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

I don’t know if the court will allow them to factor that into their losses. Obviously, we know that’s the play here for UGA. But that’s a huge ask. I just don’t see a judge buying it. Their recruiting hasn’t tanked since the kid transferred, right? So what are we talking about?

Theoretically, the kid took a spot and an allocation of resources that otherwise would’ve been used on another player. Loss of opportunity is often used to defend against challenges to enforceability. Generally, as you may know, courts are more inclined to enforce LD the harder it is to estimate actual damages at the time of contract. They have a reasonable shot at enforcement, imo.

Soooooo....

I wonder where UM and Radakovich stand regarding joining one of the P2's....

My take is - as long as we make money relative to what the P2 teams earn, I don't care that much, but I do hate the ACC as a self-hating, self-defeating organization. Get rid of Phillips, make ND either go all in including football, and have the successful teams become financially competitive with the big boys, and I'm good with the ACC.

I don't think ND gets what's happening to them right now, so I doubt they join. If the B12 can make it make sense, I'm OK with that too.

Just curious if our insiders are hearing anything new regarding Miami and the conference we will be in long term, in light of our CFP run...?

I think it’s P2 or bust, but not sure anything is imminent.

That said, hopefully we find a new commish. This guy ain’t it. No vision.

Our CFP run doesn't change the longterm math.

The financial and exposure gap between the SEC, B1G and everyone else will continue to widen. Firing Jim Phillips won't change ****.

Facts are the Canes are a Power 2 brand all the way. Staying put in the ACC would be the equivalent of the Miami Heat lingering in the G-League because they've got a sweetheart deal and an easier road to success.

We got roughly two more football seasons in the minor leagues and then we'll be on way to either the SEC or B1G

Jmo of course. Lots of Canes here who think we're gonna remain in the ACC until the end of time

There's one conference champion left in the CFP. And the ACC didn't even have it's champion get in. What exactly are the conferences for again?

Conference champions are worthless. "Conferences" are priceless. See the 8 combined invites for the $EC and B1G.

Just ignore the fact they are so bloated that many teams don't even play each other within the same conference. So, less likely to get the actual 2 best teams playing for the conference title and more likely to get at large bids to the CFP for overrated schools since conference bias gets brought into play. What a mess.

So our Canes better make a ton of good noise in 2026 + 2027 seasons.

Can Texas Tech billionaire booster Cody Campbell fix college sports?

Texas Tech's billionaire booster has turned the Red Raiders into a powerhouse. Can he fix college sports next?

Interesting story. Campbell makes a lot of solid points. I definitely agree college sports need to be managed as a collective group much like the NFL and other professional sports leagues. Easier said than done. There’s 130 or so division one college football teams and Lord knows how many division one college basketball, baseball, etc.. plus all the lower divisions in all sports.

I hope interested parties like him and others are able to come up with ideas to fix and manage the problems before anyone convinces Congress to step in with legislation. Would be the worst thing that could happen. Best thing for Congress to do would be to create avenues and incentives for college sports to fix themselves.
