    Conference Realignment

    It might be. It used to be that the SEC was known for defense and the Big12 known for offense. Then reportedly Saban decided that he wanted his offense to be better because Hugh Freeze's offense was lighting him up. There might be a difference in average size and average quality of player in...

    Conference Realignment

    I have discussed this before. Before A&M and Missouri announced they were joining the SEC, SEC fans made statements about Texas and Oklahoma not being able to qualify for a bowl game if they played an SEC schedule. The two aforementioned "lesser" Big12 teams joined the SEC instead. One of...

    New recruit Petty $800,000 per year NIL

    It was On3 who posted the $800k number. All of the reporting about NIL money is sketchy, or at least unreliable at best.

    Conference Realignment

    Reportedly Oregon and Washington will receive $30-35 million from the Big10. The ACC averaged payouts of $44.8 million in 2022-2023. GT's revenue in fiscal 2023 included $55.36 million from "Conference/NCAA Distributions, Media Rights, and Post-Season Football"...

    Conference Realignment

    It might not hold until 2036, however I do think it will hold at least until 2030. The Big10 media contract doesn't expire until 2030. The SEC media contract doesn't expire until 2034. If a team were to pay to leave the ACC before 2030, they would not be able to get a full share of media from...

    Conference Realignment

    The big problem is that if they lose every one of those games, there will be a narrative about: SEC teams only caring about winning the SEC, Expanded playoffs mean that conference games count more, Everybody else plays SEC teams like it is there Super Bowl, etc.: Winning most of those games...

    Mutts

    Didn't GT have this same exact issue a few years ago with TaQuon Marshall (I believe)? If I recall correctly, the class was required for his major, but was only offered once per year by a part time professor who had a full time professional job. People on this forum were ranting about how GT...

    New recruit Petty $800,000 per year NIL

    How is that different from an NFL team guaranteeing tens of millions to a 1st round draft pick who has proven nothing at the NFL level? In 2007, JeMarcus Russell was picked #1 in the NFL draft and had a contract guarantee of $31.5 million. He was a bust in the NFL. How is that different from...

    New recruit Petty $800,000 per year NIL

    On3 is a sports media / recruiting media company. I have never been to their website. Their headlines and Twitter posts seem to be clickbait, or at least sensationalistic. I believe the one source was the On3 guy who covers FSU.

    New recruit Petty $800,000 per year NIL

    From what I have heard, Key is open, honest, and upfront with players. You keep players happy by setting expectations, living up to those expectations, and having your program live up to those expectations. From what I have seen, the $800k number came from an FSU blogger/Twitter person. I...

    GT (undefeated) vs. UGA (undefeated)

    Depends on what you are asking. In 1893, 1897, and 1900 they opened against each other, so were undefeated. But you are probably asking about at the end of the season. The closest towards the end of a season that I see are: 1927, 7-1-1 GT beat the 9-0 mutts. 1942, 9-0 GT lost to 9-1 mutts...

    Bobby Dodd Renovation in the NE Stands

    I am not sure I follow your logic. I don't see how it would make financial sense to pay to reduce the capacity of the stadium. Do you think that reducing the capacity would cause the people who currently buy season tickets to willingly pay more for those same tickets? Supply/demand would...

    Conference Realignment

    That has been going on for a very long time. It isn't even the ranked teams that drive the SEC narrative. In 2008, WF beat Mississippi and the ACC win was downplayed as a non-event since Mississippi was a bottom barrel SEC team. Mississippi then beat #4 UF a few weeks later. The SEC was...

    GT Primary Colors debate

    My understanding from a few years ago was that gold is difficult to coordinate and match on different materials. True or not true I don't know, but what was said is that the same shade of gold paint looks different on metal, plastic, fabric, and even different fabrics. I remember that the gold...

    Conference Realignment

    Big12 negotiated? They negotiated 1 year after the two teams had announced that they were already leaving. They negotiated that 1 year to allow them to expand the conference before the new media deal in order to have more strength in negotiations. It isn't in any way comparable to the ACC's...

    Conference Realignment

    Doing so is an acknowledgement that the GOR isn't iron clad. If you agree to a price for FSU to leave now based on 12 years of GOR, then Clemson can use that price in a lawsuit in 2 years and convince the court that the price has already been set. In 4 years, UNC or GT can make the same...

    Conference Realignment

    While possible, it isn't probable. There have been lawyers pouring over the GOR documents for years. Nobody has found an out yet. Texas has the money to fight it and lose, but they decided to wait until the Big12 GOR expired before moving. (Then after the announcement they negotiated for a...

    Conference Realignment

    Here is a website for a lawyer in Florida discussion business lawsuit mediation. He says it is mandatory in Florida business lawsuits. It can occur before the lawsuit is filed, but if it does not the court will order mediation before setting trial...
