FWIW, there will be others on this board that feel differently, but a conference that was something like GT, Duke, UNC, UVA, Wake, Stanford, Cal, Vandy (if SEC dropped them) and especially if you could convince ND to join would be a fun conference for me. Maybe one of BC or Pitt. That would be a...

Thoughts on who else B10 might be interested in. I do think the qualifications of what they expect the B10 to look for in any expansion programs feel right. https://sports.yahoo.com/big-ten-expansion-top-5-033043153.html

https://www.si.com/college/2022/07/01/usc-ucla-move-to-big-ten-what-means-for-pac-12-playoffs-college-sports The most interesting thought in this article (though not one I expect to happen) is the idea you could see a number of the more academic minded schools - including ND and Stanford, form...

My biggest thought right now is what exactly are we headed to and is it something that is even interesting to follow. If we are looking at 2 super conferences with 20+ teams each, that means that you will not play even half the teams in your conference and may not see some of them for many...

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/usc-ucla-planning-to-leave-pac-12-for-big-ten-in-2024-with-announcement-imminent/ Serious coin How much money could USC and UCLA make through media rights payouts in the Big Ten? Both schools could reach -- or even top -- $100 million annually...

USC and UCLA are 2 large brands that are also AAU universities. That is an easy decision for both parties if the interest is there and all the TV contracts line up relatively nicely for the B10 and P12 teams. B10 took Rutgers and MD for the TV markets - the ability to charge a higher rate for...

Not surprising GT is rated as having the toughest schedule in the ACC https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/acc-strength-of-schedule-rankings-2022-florida-state-georgia-tech-face-tough-tests-in-make-or-break-seasons/

This is a great read on the future of college football. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-2-0-leadership-void-must-be-filled-to-address-sports-uncertain-unregulated-future/

We haven't been a Top 25 type program in my lifetime. We have had seasons here and there where we were ranked in the Top 25, but those are relatively few and far between. The trend in college football continues to move away from GT.

I was minorly surprised that Wake only got 1 Triangle team, but the obvious first call for the ACC was to make sure the 3 Triangle teams played each other every year. We should be playing in Florida at least once every other year given 2 FL schools in the conference. We haven't been very...

When I look at the schedule I keep seeing 6 wins as the max regular season number. I have serious worries about both lines. Without significant improvement from both getting to 6 wins is very unlikely.

Given GT has the hardest permanent opponents in terms of both the playoff era and the last 3 years and also has UGA OOC every year it may have to start scheduling 3 patsies every year to have much of a chance to get to 6+ wins on a consistent basis. Not getting one of Duke, VT or UVA as a...

Would they be held to APR requirements - absolutely. If they are recruited athletes they would fall under APR. Reading the On3 article what strikes me most is all the lawyer talking going on. I never talked to so and so about this player. We had nothing to do with this. There is clearly some...

Here is one person's opinion on the wins and losses for each team in the ACC and whether to take the over or under on season wins. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2022-acc-win-totals-odds-picks-predictions-for-each-team-as-clemson-eyes-huge-number-return-to-the-top/

Unfortunately i'm not so sure I agree with this. Atlanta is such a transient city, that there isn't a strong connection to a local team like in many cities. GT has only something like the 9th largest alumni base in Atlanta. Heck, I believe Ohio St has more alums in Atlanta than GT does. So...

GT will face the #1 and 3 of the top 10 Defensive front 7's in 2022 according to the rankings in this article. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/best-college-football-front-seven-rooms-clemson-alabama-loaded-with-talented-defensive-linemen-linebackers/

I expect our hit rate on the transfers to be about the same as the hit rate on our HS recruits. Some will show out and others will make no impact. When you look at the majority of the players GT has brought in through the transfer portal they have mostly been young guys with 1-2 years in...

I agree, the presentation is looking at, to the best of its ability, fan size based on eyeballs. Not fansize based on number of fans in the stands. Those are 2 related, yet quite different metrics.

That is a great presentation, I would say that GT falls squarely in the Stanford & Cal box that they talk about in terms of slide 25. The slide on pg 6 basically says there are 6 ACC schools (GT being one of them) that have larger fanbases than would be expected based on both the number of...
