ESPN offered the PAC12 $30 million a team. The PAC demanded $50 million. ESPN said good-bye. So I’m not sure about them “concentrating“ when it’s clear they wanted the deal. CFB ratings just aren’t worth much on the West Coast. The ACCN is profitable and growing, it’s just growing at a slower...

There are two different vehicles here. The SEC Network and ACC Network are comparable in viewers and demographics. It is the ESPN channel itself (the “UNO”), that has real value. Those rates are substantially higher. It just means more. As to FSU, a former SEC commissioner once quipped that...

I count five logos ... how long before we go full Nascar?

If he was never successful, what kind of secrets can he have that anyone would want? The Dawgs, tbh, don’t really care what Tech does any more than Tennessee worries about Vandy.

It's hard to say. "Kirby Smart has made an addition to his stable of off-field analysts, as former Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Andrew Thacker is now working as an analyst. Coaches who get parked into "analyst" jobs are almost always represented by the same agent ... Jimmy Sexton. It has...

You can Google it. He said something to the effect that expectations are too high.

Dabo has openly said he’s frustrated with Clemson and he doesn’t like the portal nor NIL. Still, his buyout probably puts the brakes on getting fired.

Why do a real analysis? Jimbo said he wasn’t able to recruit at the necessary level because the facilities were dated and he was losing recruits to schools with more modern locker rooms, training, etc. CPJ said the same thing about Tech. He may be right or wrong, but it’s a fact he felt that...

One again … you don‘t respond with facts. Just hyperbole. Useless.

You should educate yourself. Three SEC schools were interested but Tech brought 12,000 fans to the last game and … will earn a very handsome payout. https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/how-georgia-techs-game-vs-fsu-in-ireland-came-together/4MZD5QPQAZGMDN2L3LFBK4SCYI/

So tell us again, how EXACTLY did ACC conference leadership contribute to FSU’s 5 year fall from grace? How EXACTLY did ACC conference leadership contribute to Clemson’s refusal to play the money game (and almost got Dabo fired). I could go on and on … You claim this ad nauseum but provide no...

Hopeless. Strong opinions unsupported by fact.

Sankey has already commented that the SEC needs to follow the ACC. European games produce strong demand with very little alternative competition. And fans love it. I mention FSU and Miami because that’s the reason they joined … to strengthen the conference and create value. Then, they...

Intentionally obtuse. Weren't you just ranting that it was poor leadership at the Conference level that lead to the ACC being perceived as weak? Virtually everyone else was arguing that the conference reputation is based on what individual teams do and how that makes them attractive. Case in...

Intentionally obtuse.

You should keep up with current events. Thrasher retired. The new administration is investing. FSU said it wants to leave because it can make more money. Simple.

It’s not “IF”, they did. Scott Woodward cited this fact when he was AD at TAMU and made the decision to go after Jimbo. FSU was running deficits in their program and began cutting budgets in 2015. Thrasher, then FSU president, turned down requests to approve capital investment in facilities and...

That’s correct. They did. Thanks for reiterating the obvious facts. Re the ACC, why don’t you call them and share your thoughts?

First, UT has had the same problems as Tech. There wasn’t one shade of Orange, but 50. They have done a great job of consolidating but it’s a work in process. Re Tech, for years the brand was built around Old Gold which is very difficult to source. From what I can tell, Tech still doesn’t...

Where did I say that? I didn’t. The ACC hasn’t “fallen”. It is growing. It is simply growing at slower rate than the B1G and the SEC. HAD FSU and Miami maintained their status, that gap would not be as dramatic as it is today. It is the GAP that both Clemson and FSU are unhappy about. BTW, the...
