Except once the classifications are set I don't see schools moving between them. No relegation here. If we end up in AAA then great. If not we will end up in AA and that is fine with me as well, and frankly really probably what we are from a college football standpoint.

Some chatter of the ACC and PAC10 looking at a partnership. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/acc-pac-12-discuss-loose-partnership-that-could-include-championship-game-in-las-vegas/ There was also a report today that Colorado has come out and said they do not have an interest in...

It's fair to say we knew a rebuild was needed. It is not realistic to say that anyone expected 9 wins in 3 seasons. That has simply been a mismanaged rebuild to this point. Also, talking about the financial support isn't really accurate. Some of the big donors stepped up to provide more money...

I suspect any deal B10 does with its TV partner will allow it to either have a look in at specific points or a look in whenever teams are added. That will make it less likely that they have to make a move right now when it might not be in their best financial interests. They can wait. I think...

IMO there are 3 equally important pieces to running a successful college football program. One is recruiting. What level of talent do you bring in? Second is player development. How good are you at taking that raw talent and developing it into legitimate college football players? Third is...

FWIW, I think the idea that the ACC won't exist a year from now is simple kookery. It's fans not slowing down to really think and react to what has happened. What rationale is there for either the SEC or B10 to go to 20 teams, much less more than that. As far as I can tell, there is no...

Good points. I'll say I don't think GT will ever get close to Scenario 3 - even if it jumped to the B10. It would probably be something more like GT has a $150M budget and the Top schools in the conference have $250-300M budgets. I think that is the most realistic outcome of a jump to one of...

Do keep in mind that Dodds has been a long time B12 shill who always paints a rosy picture for that conference. What he is saying may be true, and I think ultimately just due to how close they are in terms of geography and in terms of when their contracts are all up that there is going to be...

Is that who Josh Pate is. Talk about one of the kooks of all kooks. He was definitely a person who was constantly talking about things he really didn't know anything about - and always anti-ACC and always predicting imminent doom for the conference, It became sort of fun over on the Hive to mock...

Of course, once again this is being looked at from the Schools point of view (which is typically what fans most orient towards), this is probably only the 3rd most important point of view in this process. The Networks and the conference point of views are much more important as they are the...

I think as a fan you have to make a decision on what's most important to you. Is it that you will only follow and support GT football if it is playing in the highest tier (which is likely to be the SEC and B10) or you will follow and support GT football regardless of what tier it is in. That is...

That article on ND is why I think 2025 is the next inflection point. ND values 2 things. Their independence and access to the CFP. If the CFP becomes no more after 2026 and the SEC and B10 basically decide to have their own playoff (basically the Tier 1 that we have talked about in the past)...

On the GoR. I'm not convinced it will keep the ACC together until 2036 - that seems unlikely by itself. But I think there is just way too much nonsense going on in the Twittersphere with alot of people talking out of their butts and not actually knowing anything. It is a huge financial...

Good article on the GoR's from a lawyer who has actually seen them. His basic take is that it will be complicated and both time consuming and money consuming to try to break one based on how they were written. Maybe the financial numbers have changed enough to make some school think it is worth...

For those thinking it will be 'easy' for any school to get a bid to the Big 2 this should be somewhat sobering. https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-phil-knight-can-help-put?sd=pf "A Big Ten athletic director told me on Friday that the television market of Seattle and the brand of Oregon are...

It has already been reported that Washington and Oregon had both already reached out to the B10 and it sounds like the B10 basically said we see your interest, but we are holding right now (likely for ND to make some decision). It will not shock me to see either/both of those schools in the...

The biggest thing to remember is that even if alot of schools reach out to the B10 and the SEC, neither conference is likely to be interested in most of the schools that reach out. They can be very picky and chose just who they want. They are only going to be interested in schools that they see...
