    Former QB Joshua Nesbitt

    There are two things to know about Swarm threads: Politics are a definite NO NO. In every thread except the politics forum. Ice cream, especially when commenting about Mayfield and @kg01 is OK in every thread. Thread hijacking is an acquired skill with Swarm posters, and the mods will let you...

    Former QB Joshua Nesbitt

    I do not think he is the best GT player during my lifetime, but he is clearly my favorite. A true warrior on the field.

    Article 2024 Preseason / Fall Camp

    My prediction is not really a prediction, but a "hoped for" scenario. We need to beat FSU. Or, at least make this a last possession game. Then clean up GSU, Cuse, and VMI. No let downs. 3-1 or 4-0 looks pretty good to me at this point. UL will be the next really interesting game. It's on the...

    House vs. NCAA

    The problem is the 25,000 international athletes in US colleges. That's a lot of grease.

    Conference Realignment

    The problem with UCF is the makeup of the university is very different from other ACC schools. 87% of UCF students live off campus. WVU is simply not in the same academic category as other ACC schools. Actually, Washington State and Oregon State are more like WVU than other ACC schools.

    Conference Realignment

    Anything anyone could say at this point is speculation. If I were speculating, the most likely additions would be Washington State and Oregon State. But, I have not given it much thought as I don't think it's happening anytime soon.

    House vs. NCAA

    Work permits often take years and require the applicant to show why a person already in the US can't or won't do that job.

    House vs. NCAA

    It will be interesting to see what happens with international athletes on F-1 and M-1 visas if athletes are declared to be employees. They cannot be employees while in the US on those visas.

    Conference Realignment

    We're closing in on a year since the initial lawsuit was filed in NC and three difference appeals courts have pre-trial motions to consider. No one thinks either side will accept whatever ruling results, so we will be waiting, at some point, for higher courts to rule. The sovereign immunity...

    Conference Realignment

    Why would the ACC settle? The GOR is either valid or it isn't. Why would FSU settle? If they agree that they have to buy back their media rights, they have lost the case.

    My old Atlanta high school nickname was the "Golden Bears" and our colors were black and gold. All copied from Cal.

    Conference Realignment

    While you raise some interesting points, I think you forget that TV distribution is a bundled model no matter where you look. Maybe ESPN+ will change that, but the details of that plan are not yet available,. If ESPN drops ACC sports in the Carolinas and Virginia, they (via the carriers) will...

    Conference Realignment

    How many times during the season will we be on national TV? Plus the recruiting bump we may have gotten with this trip. Most 17 year olds have never been overseas.

    I still believe it would have been better for ESPN to have FSU in the playoffs.

    Conference Realignment

    Is this something you know from 1st hand knowledge? Do you have a source for this that you can share? I worked for the AJC years ago and have a ton of respect for the journalists who work there. I have a friend who currently works at the AP. If any of those people are getting paid based on...

    There is no financial remedy for FSU leaving. I want them to stay.
