Lots of other opinions have been thrown out here, so here’s my ignorance on display Stoudamire has retooled the roster. While we lost some players who could contribute, this is a much deeper and more talented roster than last year The roster needed more talent in a big way Stoudamire runs an...

I had a couple of requests to move the WAR and other stats to a baseball thread https://gtswarm.com/threads/baseball-stats-models-and-rankings.28004/

Kenny Payne (pronounced “Pain”) is still Louisville’s coach The local paper there covered their latest loss—their offense played well, but they were doomed by a defense that had more holes that Swiss cheese plus a lot of unfavorable turnovers. (Sounds familiar)...

I don’t know if this is remotely true, but the carousel just keeps turning this year (Possibly PJ Fleck from Minnesota to UCLA, which means a different HC opening)

4D chess from the UCLA AD. Chip Kelly is gone, no buyout. But—ouch—has to fill the HC role just before spring training.

Some things make sense for Oklahoma, but don’t make sense here. We need to fill most of the stadium; other schools have a waiting list. We need to get our ratings up, and we need to borrow a page from Boston College and get people in the door. Phillips might also understand—I’m not sure a...

Average wealth may not show you what you need for donations. When it comes to wealth, you have a long tail at the upper end, where those people are capable of donating a lot more—they have more disposable wealth. Tech has a lot of millionaires, but a million bucks doesn’t go as far as it used...

My reading is this: The grant of rights is the ownership of the broadcast rights. The ACC owns these through the GOR contract with the conference members. This goes through 2036. The ESPN contract is essentially a lease for those rights, or a loan of those rights through 2027, and where the...

I am waiting for when Liberty or a G5 school sues under antitrust, for being locked out of the playoffs

I’ll answer the second question first—they used yards per play. The defensive stat is yards per play against. This year we were #118 in yards per play against at 6.2 yards/play. The year before we were at 5.4 (#63). Not only were we atrocious last year, but we plummeted from the year before...

The average score was 30.4 per game by a team. The median is around 27 ppg. Some teams blew the curve. We gave up 30.8 ppg. Yes, the rank is really low, but the difference between #40 and #100 isn’t that much Overall Statistics GT Offense Value (rank) GT Defense Value (rank) Points/Game...

Here’s our overall defensive advanced stats Plays 770 Plays/Game 70 #108 Total EPA 32.80 #80 EPA/Play 0.04 #84 EPA/Game 2.98 #84 Success Rate 44.2% #112 Starting FP Own 28 #55 Here are the passing stats Against the Pass Plays 336 Plays/Game 31 #34 Total EPA -14.14...

I know I’ve posted a stat that we’re the #73 ranked in a stat here or #62 in another. I think that’s more precise than is helpful to me. We had games like BC and Bowling Green where we couldn’t stop them from running and the defense lost us the game. We had games like UVA and Wake where the...

The column that @orientalnc shared looks useful—it’s clear and talks about copyright and contract law. One key piece is here FSU brings up arguments that might be relevant to monetary amounts but do nothing to argue about the validity of the contract. You could argue that the deal was a...

Sadly, it seems to be one of FSU’s legal arguments—or several of them

that is not a breach of contract If it were, it might be grounds for the ACC to sue FSU, Miami, and Clemson. The SEC isn’t upset because Arkansas can’t make then CFP. It’s the top teams in the conference who get in, and Miami and FSU haven’t lived up to their expectations in year. At no point...

So, if that’s correct, and it may not be, the contract may not be as valuable as FSU hoped it would be 8 years ago. How does that invalidate the contract? Plenty of legal agreements turn out to be less valuable than people hoped for. Example: you get a 25 year mortgage on a new home. 5 years...

As I understand it, that’s granting ESPN use of the rights through 2027. The ACC is the rights holder through 2036. Two separate contracts.

So, based on that premise, ESPN has the rights of first refusal for continuing carriage of the ACC Network after 2027. Presumably, there’s a deadline to renew. If they don’t renew , then the ACC can take that package to another network—CBS, NBC, FOX, Apple, Amazon Prime, CW, Netflix, or a...

Looks like The ACC might want to hire the author as a lawyer G5 teams might have an interesting complaint against P4/P2 schools for an antitrust case It’s the first time that I’ve seen someone say “well, what about refunding the financial gains from previous years if you want out?”. The ACC...
