With so many teams switching leagues and the idea that the ACC is not generating enough revenue, are the revenue charts reflecting just football? Or does it include basketball and baseball? If not all sports I wonder how the ACC would be looked upon for the U when considering we are solid at baseball, basketball and of course our football is still considered as major. The cost to leave the ACC is extreme and I like our chances to get back to dominating as we were expected to when we joined if the ACC remains intact. These huge conferences will make scheduling a nightmare. The B1G and SEC are becoming to big already. Is all this merging a good idea or bad? I am not in favor of these changes including making the ACC a one division league. In a conference you recruit and build to beat whichever team is top dog but there are becoming too many dogs in the race. I prefer to see division and then conference champions, with such big conferences few teams will be able to achieve goals, or should I say awards via division wins. Thoughts?

I think the mega conferences are a joke and the distance some have to travel to play is asinine. All the while, tradition is flying by the wayside and to hit up road games some teams have to travel across the country to play or view them.

Collegiate sports used to be about tradition, but that isn't the case. Money is the only driving factor and as schools merge into these mega conferences, they're limiting their chance to become what used to mean something, a conference champion.

Texas and OU aren't going to do more with SEC money, nor are some of the other school jumping in. They already had it all, but now their road just got tougher. So naturally, records are going to suffer and when that happens, there will be less fans. A sense of apathy will set in and anotger once proud program will have a bunch of fancy building with exorbitant coaching salaries, but be dog**** on the field which is all the fans care about.

**** is doomed, but that may have already been the case because the younger generations that aren't scholarship worthy generally don't care to begin with. It won't ever end, but college football is on the decline.

Thoughts?

Well, today is Tuesday and that means TACOS. And since I'm feeling a little backed up, I going to run for the border and hit up The Bell. The Mexican laxative.

Fraggle, I actually pretty much agree with you on this one. I'm super curious how all this shakes out for our Canes. 🤔
