  1. GT Hoops General Topics

    Write up on every transfer into an ACC program this year and how they might be used at their new school. https://247sports.com/longformarticle/realistic-expectations-for-every-2024-25-acc-basketball-transfer-duke-unc-virginia-florida-state-clemson-louisville-233247743/#2438405 Javian McCollum...
  2. ACC win totals

    https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2024-acc-win-totals-odds-picks-clemson-florida-state-have-highest-number-virginia-tech-plays-dark-horse/ They had praise for Key but felt GT's schedule is just too much this year and went the under.
  3. Blue Chip Ratio

    CBSSports has been producing this for a few years now. Looks at the ratio of 4 and 5 star players on your roster to 3 star or less. No team since the inception of this ratio in 2013 has won a NC with less than 50% of their roster being 4 and 5 star players. Only FSU (2013, 53%), Clemson (2016...
  4. Dennis Scott Jersey Retirement

    Interesting note on Scott - he wore #4 his first 2 seasons but wore #3 his last season. I have no problem with the degree requirement. If we make it purely about athletic achievement then we forget why we give scholarships in the first place.
  5. Dennis Scott Jersey Retirement

    Congrats to D! Well deserved honor. What a way to find out.
  6. Conference Realignment

    I agree with it as well. I mentioned a week or two ago that I hated the proposed settlement as it basically threw college basketball and smaller school conferences under the bus. When 90% of the settlement money for athletes is expected to go to former P5 student athletes, it would seem...
  7. Coaching Carousel 9 - People die climbing mountains

    NBA has radically changed its rules to make building the 4-superstar team almost impossible and also basically undesirable. With the first and second tax aprons as well as the trade clauses and loss of the mid-level exception if you sign three max players it basically guarantees that if you want...
  8. Conference Realignment

    I think if it came down to it the B1G would prefer Miami to FSU out of FL. Big city market. AAU school. I think there is a reason why it has been reported previously that Miami was one of the schools vetted by the B1G and FSU was not. Of the 10 schools that were reported to have been vetted 2...
  9. Conference Realignment

    Interesting bill moving through the NC legislature. Among other things it would require UNC and NCST to play each other every year in football and basketball. Protecting against any future re-alignment where they end up in separate conferences. More interesting, it would require them both to...
  10. Conference Realignment

    It is not a good look for FSU when the FL Attorney General wants to have the ESPN contract made public and ESPN and all the Power conferences are opposed to what he wants to do. FSU is really not making any friends in this process.
  11. NIL Settlement with NCAA this week - $3B in back payments

    Both the settlement and the 'cap' are ridiculous. As far as the cap. Only the very richest athletic departments will be able to come close to the cap, so it isn't really a real cap. It's just meant to give the appearance there is one. it basically guarantees that the richest schools can...
  12. Conference Realignment

    Actually the ACC would not be any less valuable from a contractual standpoint. ACC's contract with ESPN only allows ESPN to renegotiate if membership in the ACC drops below 14. That was part of the reason for expansion.
  13. Conference Realignment

    I have no idea what is going to happen over the next 5-10 years with college athletics, though moving to more of a 'super league' at the top level of college football does not seem out of reach. The House settlement basically screws over college basketball and non-P4 conferences. Since the NCAA...
  14. Conference Realignment

    I suspect the ACC would be happy for them to leave as long as they live up to the contracts they signed. That means they pay the ACC the exit fee and the ACC retains the rights to the media until 2036.
  15. Conference Realignment

    Updated revenue figures for the P5 from their 2023 tax returns. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-ten-remains-power-five-revenue-leader-with-880-million-haul-for-2023-fiscal-year-per-report/ ACC was third in revenue and third in approximate team payout. Basically tied for 3rd...
  16. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    current UGA backup QB Jaden Rashada is suing FL HC Billy Napier, Fl booster Hugh Hathcock and former FL staffer Marcus Castro-Walker for reneging on a $13.95M NIL contract...
  17. Conference Realignment

    I don't think this is true. Neither TX nor OK tried to challenge the B12 GOR when they got the SEC bid. They both timed their exits to be when the GOT expired and then the B12 was willing to negotiate the last year where each payed to leave 1 yr early.
  18. Kyle Sturdivant says goodbye to Georgia Tech

    Man that's fantastic. First off, he looks great in that Letterman's jacket. Second, I would assume he will try to play professionally overseas. Third, this young man has future coach written all over him. I hope he seriously thinks about that someday. Fourth, congrats on getting out of Ma...
  19. NIL to High Schoolers

    I guess Missouri is the first state to do this but they are unlikely to be the last. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/missouri-state-law-universitys-progressive-nil-approach-gives-mizzou-advantage-amid-evolving-landscape/ So Missouri has passed a law that a student who signs...
  20. Conference Realignment

    As mentioned by others the TV contracts weren't all that different by conference back in the 2012-2013 timeframe. It wasn't until the last 5-6 years that the contracts have become very different. I'll also add just adding money doesn't make you a better athletic program. Almost every program...
