Miami - ACC

[Mark Little]

Pretty sure the number of teams is not why they are each getting $15 mil more per team.

This is a silly post.

If it wasn't a significant reason then they wouldn't have expanded to 12 and 14.

 

[Mark Little]

The reason is marketing.

You're really bad at this analysis thing.

Pretty sure that's the not the reason either.

No you're right, it's because they have 14 teams.

Ok so how about telling me why conferences exist then? For the third time?

So a like-minded group of schools, preferably ones with a shared geography, can fill athletic schedules and pool resources in order to generate revenue.

There isn't a conference in existence that better fits those criteria for Miami better than the ACC.

Do you know how a rich person thinks? Apparently not.

Oh no ****, it is to generate revenue? Wow I would've never thought of that.

I'm amazed that this is difficult for you.

They wouldn't have expanded if didn't end up increasing their bottom line (payout per school).

Just like the Big 12 didn't expand because adding two more schools would've decreased their payouts.

 

[Mark Little]

Do you know how a rich person thinks? Apparently not.

So you think the SEC expanded because 14 teams would've diminished their per school payouts?

You really are stupid.

Then why are you making so many silly claims?

You really are stupid.

Again, not how a rich person thinks. A rich person thinks about ways to become richer. They know that an even bigger product will create more revenue. You shouldn't assume everyone is stupid, you should ask questions to clarify when you don't understand.

 

[Pickle Richt]

Then why are you making so many silly claims?

By saying that we'd have bigger attendances and more marketable games? That's what generates revenue! I gotta check out of this conversation man, I'm sorry.

What the **** does this have to do with anything?

You're just rambling now.

The SEC was the first to 12 and the first to 14.

Why?

Because it made their members richer.

Now you can go to your incoherent musings.

No, you want a different conference because you want to be more entertained and have cooler road trips.

Because you're a silly person making weird posts and showing very little understanding of the business of college athletics.

Considering I live on the other side of the country, this, along with everything else you've said, is another wildly inaccurate assumption.

How is it an assumption when that's basically what you said in this thread?

I'm surprised a lot of people on here are content with playing UNC, Duke, Virginia, Pitt and another scrub Atlantic team on most years. I'd love for us to have bigger crowds at home games and higher stakes road games.

I know it’ll never happen, but looking at our home games this year doesn’t get me super excited.

Your reading comprehension is terrible.

 

[Mark Little]

Your reading comprehension is terrible.

I quoted you word for word.

You want bigger crowds at home and better road games with "higher stakes."

Yes, as I've explained, that would create more revenue. Which has been my point all along. Nowhere does that mean, nevertheless imply, that I myself am going to road trip any of those games.

 

[Mark Little]

Yes, as I've explained, that would create more revenue.

So after claiming that my comprehension was bad, you admit that I was right about your posts.

Cool.
