See article below with Commissioner Phillips discussing "Undervalued ACC Basketball" at ACC Tipoff. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/acc-commissioner-jim-phillips-this-league-has-been-undervalued/ar-AA1rYFLu?ocid=socialshare&cvid=9e5faf84022d45459399258c7eb5a2a0&ei=22

An interesting article about the B1G-SEC meetings today and tomorrow in Nashville. SEC Commissioner Sankey seems to refute some of the reporting concerning automatic bids. I understand that his comments are likely tailored to fit the occasion. Also claims to be sensitive to the needs of the...

Thanks. A good summary. I attached Jackson Caudell's article with a couple of full quotes. I know he would like to shut GT down. I hope our guys are ready to go on Saturday...

House agreement has preliminary approval by the Judge. Still a couple of steps before it actually goes into effect. Looks like April 7 of 2025 will be the effective date if the agreement is finally approved at a hearing on that date. However, for now, the Parties can still object or opt out...

I believe one of the more important statements in the 500-million-dollar announcement is the following: "Full Steam ahead is part of Transforming Tomorrow, the campaign for Georgia Tech, the Institute's more than $2 Billion Comprehensive Campaign". This indicates to me that President Cabrera...

I definitely do not mind the college players making money from their football skills and the attention they bring to the universities. Plus, the players have to put in a lot of extra time in the weight room, film room, etc. The part I do not like is the totally uncontrolled situation we...

J Batt will be a guest on the ACCN at either 5:15 or 5:30 to discuss Full Steam ahead. I just turned on the TV and missed part of the announcement, but I think he will on at 5:30. Damon Stoudamire will be on in a few minutes.

Maybe I should not show you the attached article. You may release the last thread. I would not want that to happen. But the article relates the many ills that you and I see in the college game today. Story is by a Colorado Alumnus. He paints a less than attractive picture of the state of the...

Thought you would like this article. This article points out another reason ESPN resists giving additional money for a 9th SEC game. With 9 conference games, the SEC schools give up one home game every other year. Rather than having 7 home games every year while playing two "guarantee" (G5)...

Interesting article on relationship between SEC and B1G commissioners. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/tony-petitti-reflects-on-relationship-with-greg-sankey-ahead-of-big-ten-sec-meeting/ar-AA1rEdpP?ocid=socialshare&pc=EDGEXST&cvid=d44782d3c7c2456b881c980e148eeead&ei=29

When North Carolina added seats, it reduced their capacity from 60,000 to 50500 or 9500 seats according to AI. This is a reduction of 15.8% They used 22-inch seats. I think UNC added seats throughout the stadium or it appears that way on TV. Based on that info: BD Current capacity--51913 x...

I definitely feel like you do. We have moved so far past the collegiate model that it is unrecognizable. You might like the attached CBS article concerning the second negotiated House vs. NCAA agreement which has been submitted to the judge. The first submission was rejected by the Judge. She...

You may be totally correct about the extra money. However, most of the articles I have read concerning the matter use terms like the article below, "Presumably" and "Possibly" because of the money. Note in the article below, Sankey, when asked about the extra money said: "Money Follows, it...

Agree. If this deal with the B1G and SEC actually comes to fruition, both the SEC and B1G would have 10 committed games. The B1G is pushing the SEC to go to 9 conference games like the B1G currently has in order to be on equal footing before adding the cross-conference B1G-SEC game. We could...

Agree and I hope President Cabrera stays on good terms with those B1G presidents during their policy and strategy meetings. I still believe GT and Miami will be the targets of the B1G if the ACC implodes. AAU membership, B1G Alums in ATL, Media market, plus the most fertile recruiting areas in...

Interesting article by ESPN's David Hale concerning the origin and evolution of the Grant of Rights. David begins with the 1984 Supreme Court ruling that each School owns their media rights, not the NCAA. He relates how there was chaos with each school trying to make individual deals with media...

Pretty good article from AJC's Chad bishop about coaches trying to improve ground game and line blocking. https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/georgia-tech-still-looking-to-get-ground-game-on-track/LSZKW4I7AFBNHPUOJ3FZOX7YYM/#

I believe you are correct about ND having to join the ACC if they join a conference during the current contract (Until 2036). See highlighted sentence quoting John Swofford...

This article from "Fansided" concerning the SEC and B1G meeting reference scheduling sounds pretty ominous for the ACC, BIG 12 and Notre Dame. More talk about automatic bids for CFP. Hopefully things will not get this bad for the ACC and GT...

Sounds like D.J. Uiagalelei may be out for a few games due to a broken finger. Norvell says "we will see where it goes from here". See article by Andrea Adelson of ESPN. https://www.espn.com/cfl/story/_/id/41532346/sources-fsu-qb-dj-uiagalelei-broken-finger
