Protect College Sports Act [formerly “SCORE Act” thread]

I don't think it would be prudent to play in the Big Ten, simply due to geography. Our away games would be outside of a typical 1-4pm window, and we'd be going to Oregon, Washington, California and our closest games are in, not sure, but NY or Iowa?

Send Missouri in the Big Ten and we take their spot in the SEC and make sure we play the Gators every dam year.

ZERO appetite for CANES to SEC

low to B1G UNFORTUNATELY

Yeah, I can see that.

If that were to happen, I would hope we push for a whole a whole lot east coast games early in the season.

It is mind blowing how bad it is on there, they have absolutely no clue.. People still think ACC is a viable conference

We have to strike now - this bill got delayed until September but we can’t risk it being passed then and we get stuck in the ACC. Cut the check to the ACC and announce to the BIG already while you still can.

If the legislation passed and was signed into law with the 180-day window provision, UM and FSU would have the exit fee financed before they play this year, if not sooner.

How we pay for it isn't the point .... the point is the accelerated payoff (unless offset by gains on new conference media rights) will cost $75M above what was the expected $75M buyout in 2030.

I understand that. Again, Miami is gone if that particular provision is made law.

Missed this when it happened, but hilarious nonetheless.

If the Kawhi Leonard situation has taught us anything..it’s that programs will absolutely find a way around any proposed “hard cap”. That’s for **** sure. The SEC cheated for over a decade..so people just trust them all of a sudden to straighten up and fly right? .

Switching conferences is a meh subject for me. It’s like the “Adidas or Nike” subject that keeps coming up on this site. As long as we keep winning and are relevant and are a national brand..does it really matter? We will get viewership regardless. When we are hitting on all cylinders..the brand is bigger than any conference anyway. Problem is..we were a laughing stock for 20 years so fans have forgotten how the hype machine comes to us when we are that ****..

The B10/SEC teams get $20-25M more each than we do in the ACC.

By making the championship we basically made up the shortfall but any year we don't make a run in the playoffs puts us further behind money wise.

Moody is from Tampa and one of her closest buddies is Peter Collins, the Chairman of FSU Bd of Trustees. I’m firmly convinced FSU and Miami are first out the door and headed to B10.

After 1 January 2028 the cap re-activates for non-covered schools, unless the transaction involves a covered institution that filed a timely withdrawal notice under the 180-day window. In that narrow case the whole of subsection (a) is waived, so the 19-cap does not constrain the deal.

If this passes and we assume it means informing your current conference of your intention Before 1/1/28..... That means the ABSOLUTE latest we can ANNOUNCE our intention is After the 2027 football regular season has concluded and the CFP teams have been set (so around 12/10/27). However technically for the ACC agreement you must inform the conference by 6/1 inorder to exit the conference 6/30 the FOLLOWING year.

So we really have like 2 options:

A) Announce our intent to exit BY 6/1/27 = Actually exit the ACC 6/30/2028. So you still play the 2027 football season in the ACC. And you would have to pay $129M exit fee. That means we could join the B1G for the 2028 Football season.

B) Announce our intent to exit BY 12/31/27 = Actually exit the ACC 6/30/2029. So you still play the 2027 AND 2028 football season in the ACC. And you would then have to pay $111M exit fee. That means we could join the B1G for the 2029 football season.

Meanwhile The B1Gs media deal ends 6/30/2030, which means they likely will begin their renegotiations around the end of 2028/start of 2029.

Basically I think IF we were to become a Full-Share B1G member (like USC+UCLA) immediately, it is in our interest to announce at the earliest time possible = Before 6/1/27. However IF we would only be a partial-share B1G member (like Oregon+UW), then it is better to exit at the last moment possible (as long as there is no risk!). Then there would only be max the 2029 Football season that we are receiving Partial-shares, and the 2030 season we'd be getting full membership rate on the renegotiated deal.

No chance of going full share unless and until Oregon’s nd way I no ton would first be made whole. And it doesn’t matter you go as soon as option exists.

total clown show now. i love the idea of ticket prices not going up so much, but congress once again should not be legislating any of that issue

Best part of this man’s post, is not absolving the NCAA of anything. Everybody right here should be celebrating that, because you know what that means, they aren’t giving the NCAA any antitrust agreements! So that part of this deal, is in the trash and that’s a good thing.

 

[NicKane]

Let’s say the bill passes even with the moody amendment. That’s a major source of leverage gone. I don’t think we’d have a take a SMU deal, but we might not get the same one we could get without this constraint.

This Bill isn’t passing! Lol So no need to worry about that.
