Playing in ACC hasn't devalued our brand. Becoming Pitt 2.0 on the field with a Sewannee 2.0 administration/athletic department did that.
Facts the ACC been holding us backThis is why when people say that the SEC would be stupid to not take Miami are talking out of their ***. Yes, playing in the ACC has devalued our brand. But the SEC would not be hurting if they didn't take Miami. Especially now that they have a strangle hold on the midwest market with adding OU and UT. If they add Clemson and FSU, they now have the entire Southeast market. Yes, a Miami vs FSU vs UF annual rivalry would be great. But it's not a backbreaker if it doesn't happen for the conference.
How has the ACC held us back exactly? Face it, the Canes haven't delivered on its end of the bargain. The Big East was the worst of the BCS 6 conferences at the time, but Miami was still able to win National Championships. ****, Clemson is winning and still competing for titles.Facts the ACC been holding us back
Honest to god, I think Miami can, truly. You can for sure create a deal valuation to justify that amount of money yearly to Miami alone from a major network.
I know Miami has had multiple 4.0+ rating games every year, with a **** schedule, and a **** team.
The reason why ND continues to get respect is they don't play cupcakes. Their schedule is full of rivals and some down teams, but the vast majority are top-level power 5 teams. Always.
If Miami adopted a similar schedule, they could command a similar TV deal, because TV channels care about... MATCHUPS. Thats it. They want matchups.
The ACC provides **** *** matchups unless they have multiple top 25 teams, which they dont, ever, at least at a competitive level.
ND's playbook is not a secret, and it can be replicated... the team needs to bet on themselves to accomplish it and stop scheduling cupcakes though.
The elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about is a university of Miami athletic department with half of the sports as the other p5 schools getting over 60-90 million dollars a year in revenue.This is why when people say that the SEC would be stupid to not take Miami are talking out of their ***.

Hello, Texas Rangers, I'd like to report a murder...
I haven't seen such a wholesale repudiation since

Well said.What worked for Miami a couple of decades back isn't going to work in this climate. We've had the same conversations on facilities; the common theme was that we never had the facilities other schools did back in the day. Well, times changed and you see Miami made the effort to start competing with other school's in that area.
Miami is going to be hard-pressed to find quality competition. No school in the SEC is going to schedule Miami moving forward if Clemson and FSU bolt for the SEC. Strength of schedule is going to be a theme with every school in that conference and they're not going to be pressured for prime time OOC matchups.
Notre Dame is likely going to be in the same boat too if the remaining schools from the ACC/Big12 find their way into the Pac12 and Big 10. It's a domino effect and being independent is going to leave you scrambling to having to find quality opponents.
We'd be relying on Blake James for finding us a quality schedule from the ground up. You really want to rely on him?
"Ma'am now that you're done blowing off a little steam, I do want you to know Texas is still leaving behind y'all small-time operators and ain't a **** thing you can do about it.

Yeah, she was great.She crushed it, they’re still leaving, but she made her point.
I don't think her point was leaving B12, but rather "I'd like to point out, with your $225MM budget you can't beat TCU, how are you not going to be a dootmat in SEC?""Ma'am now that you're done blowing off a little steam, I do want you to know Texas is still leaving behind y'all small-time operators and ain't a **** thing you can do about it.

And instead of hiring someone who could establish and lead a rock-solid culture for a program desperately in need of it, the Horns fell for the hype and brought in a twice-fired recovering alcoholic whose focus above all else always has been on trying to out-scheme those defensive coaches on the other sideline.I don't think her point was leaving B12, but rather "I'd like to point out, with your $225MM budget you can't beat TCU, how are you not going to be a dootmat in SEC?"
They are going to get a healthy dose of prison shower lovin' in SEC. OU as well.And instead of hiring someone who could establish and lead a rock-solid culture for a program desperately in need of it, the Horns fall for the hype and bring in a twice-fired recovering alcoholic whose focus above all else always has been on trying to out-scheme those defensive coaches on the other sideline.
Like the saying goes, Texas gonna Texas.
The rumor is Missouri to the West (about time), Texas and Oklahoma in the West, with Alabama and Auburn moving to the East.They are going to get a healthy dose of prison shower lovin' in SEC. OU as well.
Does UT go SEC East while OU go SEC West?
Do they realign two SEC West teams into East and add UT and OU into West??
Im too lazy to look up if SEC has already put our division alignment for 2023.
Im sure UFaggaloon* and UGHa are thrilled with that.The rumor is Missouri to the West (about time), Texas and Oklahoma in the West, with Alabama and Auburn moving to the East.
