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

SEC will look a whole lot better, institutional profile-wise, when UNC, UVA, Duke and Georgia Tech come aboard.

The B1G geography problem will only get worse as it pertains to an outlier location like Miami

UNC UVA Duke and GT don't turn the SEC into the research grant money printing factory that the B1G is.

Feels pretty big

Independent Miami where we play ND, FSU, UF, VT every year. As long as we don’t pull a ND schedule where 2 games matter. Sign me up

Lmao President Joe doesn’t give a f*ck.

No way we stay in the ACC if he put that on the record, he’d obviously rather go independent if need be.

More from the Yahoo Sports article by Ross Dellenger:

Dellenger has used that last line before. "The Aggies privately objected to the SEC's pursuit of Texas."

Translation: South Carolina's not keeping out Clemson, while UF's not keeping out FSU or Miami. If Sankey rounds up the votes from 75% of his university presidents -- and there's no reason to think he won't -- then any pushback is squashed as the Aggies quickly learned

With comments like these a conspiracy theorist might even think this has all been part of some kind of ongoing multi year strategic plot...

True

It appears President Joe is not going to wait until 2036:

Pretty sure @TheOriginalCane got receipts from those who insisted the Canes were hopelessly marooned in the ACC for at least the next decade ...

I can live w the Independent move. Might be more lucrative in the end anyway.

It’s not. No way this is a long term deal if it happens.

I would have been fine with a new thread for this news!! LFG

Yeah, the "independent if need be" is notice sent to all interested parties that Miami will not remain in the ACC under any circumstances

 

[Tony4Canes]

Too bad @Trinton Breeze is in school. He would have started a new thread!!

 

[TooColdToHold]

Well ****. Joe E is starting to let his nuts hang. It will be interesting to see what he has up his sleeve.

 

[TwentySix]

Scheduling would be **** near impossible with the SEC and B1G having 9 game conference schedules and the reported upcoming scheduling agreement.

I don't see how. We're not going to get our own network like ND. We're not going to be part of the SEC/B10 TV mega deals. With conference games going to 9, I imagine we're going to struggle to get interesting games on our schedule as long as we're independent. Who in the SEC or B10 will want to schedule us?

The only lucrative move is to join the B10 or SEC. I don't believe going independent sets us up for a more lucrative deal.

You can absolutely make more money independent than in a conference if you have the brand. The President wouldnt make that comment if he didnt mean it. Ofc its not the preference, but its not a bad fall back either. The biggest problem w going independe is theres a duopoly forming w the SEC and BIG 10, w smoke they are about to announce a scheduling agreement to game the new playoff system. We would get locked out of a meaningful schedule and basically still be in the ACC.
