It's already happening. Surveys show that a large majority of CFB fans (not all and it may not include you) already have at least two teams they pull for. That's because the way the CFP works, many teams are eliminated by the end of September. So, they pull for their Primary until then, and that...

This has been discussed. I would not be surprised if the new Big Ten/SEC collaborative does exactly this. What I have heard is that criteria will be introduced that requires a certain stadium capacity and average attendance, viewership, enrollment, athletic budget, etc ... that elevates 30-ish...

It’s an established fact that FSU stopped investing in its athletic program. Your theory on Sankey’s decision is equally incorrect. Sankey himself described it as a challenge from Scott Stricklin, AD at Florida, who asked, “If the SEC means more, why don’t we get teams where it just means...

My assumption would be advertising and carriage fees. Regardless, it’s an established fact that the ACCN is profitable.

Really? FSU and Miami were dominate teams in the entire CFB. Had they simply maintained their programs, the ACC would be in a very different place. FSU so famously disinvested that Jimbo Fisher begged to leave. Only new university leadership changed that. A league is no better or worse than the...

ESPN makes about $140 million in profit from games broadcast on the ACCN.

They actually did stand for it. When Nike rebranded them a few years ago, they standardized all of the uniforms to one consistent version of orange. They also introduced Smokey Gray to the palette as well. Tech is basically doing the exact same thing. They are standardizing around "Tech Gold"...

Funny enough, I was in Rome a few years ago and thought my feet would melt to the pavement. I realized then, why they wore togas. Rome can be HOT.

Everyone seems to remember cold and rain. The one that comes to mind for me was the 1981 game against Alabama at Legion Field. The temp was high 90's and it was probably 110+ on the field. Announcers were telling everyone to drink fluids and refrain from alcohol (due to dehydration). I recall...

This is like two prostitutes complaining about which one is prettier.

Are we relitigating this? Read the CFP contract. It does not have anything to do with deciding the “college football national champion”. It is a made for tv event, wrapped in the perception of a “playoff”, with $$$ distributed to those in the playoff AND the lower bowls. The trophy states...

To be clear, most of the SEC and the ACC were in the SAME conference, the Southern Conference. The Southern banned postseason play and many teams bolted to form a new, Southeastern Conference. People get too torqued up over this. The SEC left to pursue football, the ACC went in a different...

At some schools, they are distributed free in the Club levels. It’s part of the package.

Fanatics does not make apparel for Tech. They are a retailer/distributor. Tech has cancelled them as the primary and given the contract to Legends. Whether Legends has contracted with them or not, I don't know.

Why is it ridiculous ? Tech cancelled their contract.

“SEC commissioner Greg Sankey publicly reprimanded the two coaches (Jimbo Fisher, Nick Saban) for their violation of SEC bylaws related to "Ethical Conduct for derogatory comments and public criticism" of another institution's athletics program and staff.” Commissioners have regularly opined...

My mistake. I shared another program's prices. I will say, it's a totally different experience. I'm a fan. If I go to a game, I'm buying club seats on StubHub.

No, I am not kidding. Have you been in the suite levels? Many of those boxes are purchased by internal GT affiliates such as academic schools (mostly for development), other sports (e.g., Golf, for fundraising), GT letterman, etc. There is corporate demand for more premium seating. BDS is...

I checked. The refresh was launched in 2021. That you still have legacy issues at this point is not a good look. FWIW, Tech has dropped the term "To Hell with Georgia" as an Institute Mark.
