This is an excellent tweet that you should look at the graphs. (Note they are inflation adjusted and there are 5 in total). They align with what I have seen in the past - which is that ACC is a clear #3 in terms of revenue and likely to stay that way.

Honestly, Friday can't get here soon enough. Looking forward to the game. I honestly have no clue about this game since there is so much turnover with both clubs. I could see GT win by 20, lose by 20 or anything in-between. My gut is with it being a week 1 matchup between 2 teams with similar...

I'm so looking forward to this game. Just want to see how the team looks. What has improved, what has gotten worse, how is the level of play and the intensity? I'm not expecting a masterpiece from either team as opening with a legit opponent on week 1 usually means some sloppy play by both...

As I stated earlier I don't think the discussion among the Presidents is about whether to admit the schools anymore, it is about how much of that additional money is going to be distributed equally and how much is distributed based on performance metrics agreed to by the Presidents. When that is...

https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-acc-presidents-to-meet-on-conference-expansion-on-monday-night-173527541.html This is one of the best articles i've seen on ACC revenue and expansion. It provides alot of useful color. Let's start with this: "The ACC’s television contract with ESPN includes a...

I'll be happy when this finishes this week regardless of outcome. No one will want this bleeding into the season. It feels like the big holdup right now is not whether to admit more members, but how to divvy the money up that they bring in. Will it all go equally to current members? Will it all...

Let me ask a question or two. First, if the ACC contract wasn't until 2036 do you think the ACC would garner a better deal than it currently has? Second, if there was no GoR, do you think the schools in the ACC would get full share offers from the SEC and B1G? Here are my thoughts on that. On...

We also need to take off the gold-colored glasses a little with Pyron (Who I really like long term). He played in 3 games last season - only one of them complete. He came in against FSU after Gibson was ineffective. Pyron was no better in the first half when the game was in doubt. He went 6-7...

Keep in mind Pyron only played in 3 games, so we are talking about a limited sample size. I was encouraged overall but I was also not in some gold-colored glasses that he was ready last year to be a high level starting QB. From a passing standpoint he had 3 TD's and 3INT's. I think SOWEGA has...

As far as Memphis, Tulane and SMU. I suspect that is a financial decision. The B12 pro rata agreement with ESPN was for P5 additions (Which is why their non-P5 additions are getting less money). If ACC's contract with ESPN is similar than those three won't bring in full additional shares and...

I trust the coaches, they are the ones watching practice and film every day, not us. I believe they are making their decisions based on what they see. I also think they are intelligent enough that if circumstances change as the season progresses that they will make adjustments, I'm just ready...

ND will not join a conference for FB unless it becomes untenable for them to make the playoffs as an independent.

I'll believe all of this after a vote is taken and at least 12 vote yes, but it seems like the general idea is this. Three new members, each garnering a full share from ESPN due to the pro rata clause in the contract. All three have agreed to taking about a 30% share for some number of years (I...

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2023/08/18/college-football-realignment-risks-nebraska-big-ten-big-12/70607979007/ College football is a money game, but it is a money game that may also have a cost.

I don't think that would have much effect on ND. As long as they have a path to the playoffs they will not join a conference. If they want to join a conference before 2036 it has to be the ACC. Since ND doesn't play any FCS teams as long as they can find enough FBS teams to play, and I doubt...

I don't have a big issue with the rankings. Until GT starts winning consistently we are going to be picked near the bottom. I believe GT has the potential to be a middle of the pack ACC program if alot goes right, but the season will determine if that happens or not.

I'm with others that now would be a good time to push ND for concessions. I'd ask if ACC adds Cal and Stanford that they be willing to play 6 games against ACC teams each year and ACC will guarantee one will be against Cal or Stanford. Knowing that they will play Stanford every year that means...

The odds of any sort of relegation process happening in college football is very close to 0. First, no other sport in the US has a similar structure. Second, even the idea that one of the blue blood type programs could ever be relegated is something they would never allow to be considered.

I Think it is just an oversight in the article. If you buy a company you assume their contracts, you don't get to just ditch them. The other basic issue is that if you wanted to ditch the ACC who do you do a deal with to fill all that content. ACC provides more college content for ESPN than any...
