Brother, I believe!

I hope this plays out like the scenarios of the families and the entourages of the kids who are persuaded into the portal only to discover that the grass ain’t so much greener elsewhere. I know these schools won’t be damaged long-term because the B12 would take them and / or the ACC would...

This is why we don’t have nice things… Totally uninspired, worst basketball of the year while everyone is watching. ACC! ACC! ACC!

I kept thinking they might hit a FT and maybe get something going. When I turned it off, they were 4 of 10 at the line to boot. Just awful… no one had any confidence in shooting the ball from anywhere

I felt like most games in last years tournament were track meets held in a street fight. Drawing fouls was no easy task. It’s easy to see why this approach is failing.

They conveniently ignore metrics when the metrics are inconvenient.

They have mustered 16 points in 24+ minutes of basketball. Wow, that’s anemic.

They also have Indiana State at 28, ahead of all of these teams and over a dozen “at large” selections… so it appears that the “metrics” can be selectively disregarded at someone’s discretion.

Judging by the NCAAT selections, I think I would be OK calling the new conference “Big 12.”

pardon me…having a Logan Thomas flashback.

I’d be surprised if any take money and drop football. Maybe, but I doubt. G5 football obviously still makes sense and I suspect it would make sense even for P5 schools that get “relegated” I could also see a #3 conference emerge from B12 and ACC remnants, which could be a pretty compelling...

I absolutely agree that it can be argued. IF there is an option, and if that option is refused, and if that refusal consequently dissolves the agreement with ESPN, it will almost definitely be argued. I also agree that there would be a lot of different legal opinions on that… at least as many...

What you are describing would take place in a HEAVY negotiation, if not outright court battle. Also, it IS NOT within the rights of FSU or Clemson or anyone who is party to the GOR to either sign or refuse to sign any contract… better or worse. They have no rights to their media until 2036, so...

Agree… I lost access to the online article version that used to be free. Seems like the old app quit working, I downloaded an update, which was accessible for a short period and now I get subscription blocks. I haven’t found a work around, but I also haven’t worked too hard at it

There is a big difference here… the PAC had an expired (or very quickly expiring) GOR at the time of those negotiations. Members were free to go when they didn’t like the direction of negotiations. The ACC GOR will still be in force in ‘27 and has pretty strong language regarding member...

Tie game and Marquette hit a game winner at the buzzer. Replay can’t be any closer… and no great angle. Ball might have been on his finngertip as time expires. They ended up waiving it off and playing OT. Marquette now up 6 with 5 sec left I think they should’ve won in regulation. If nothing...

Not ACC but Marquette v Nova finish…. Wow! They might review this until they need to tip off tomorrow.

Oh no… don’t misunderstand me. It was 100% the right call. It was also the first time in about three decades I’ve seen technical foul for hanging on the rim! It came when the dunk would’ve made it a three possession game but instead Duke is shooting freebies to cut it to 4 points. Only Duke gets...

Why is ACC getting more than B12? B12 is AWWWWWESOME!

BC wearing some Harry Potter throwbacks (perhaps rejects) tonight. Playing well early though…
