I see that FSU's Drew Weatherford (BOT)was spreading their discontent with the ACC media deal on the SEC network's Paul Finebaum show yesterday (Friday). Apparently, they keep doing this to make the ACC look as unstable as possible. They have to know by now that no more money is coming from...

Makes me remember in 1964 when we all said GT would be the Notre Dame of the South! My excuse is I was a Naive Sophomore.

During an ACC meeting, I recall Jack Swarbrick saying something like the following: College football may break into two different organizations. One with athletics tied to the school and one as a separate professional type organization using only the school logo. He said Notre Dame would...

I can't say how much joining the ACC or the hiring of Homer Rice helped GT the most, but I know the program was in terrible shape in 1980. I talked to Larry Travis after a football picture day who told me that the GTAA was almost broke. During the 16-year period from 1964 to 1980 we had gone...

Jon Wilner of Mercury News believes momentum to Add Cal and Stanford to ACC is increasing. He believes answer will come in 24 hours. He is a PAC 4 reporter, so who knows.

I believe our recruiting would be better and more consistent if we were in the B1G or SEC. Back in 1978-1980 time period, I recall an AJC reporter saying that GT being in the ACC would " wear like an old leather coat". I believe the reporter was David Kindred. That seemed true for several...

Ross Dellinger reports that George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice are calling ACC administrators pressing for SMU and Stanford's admission to ACC.

You may very well may be right, but I believe the ACC has some leverage. Since ND strongly advocates for Stanford and Cal, ACC should say to ND as follows: 1. We will bring Cal, Sanford, and Navy into league. If you join the ACC as the 4th addition, these teams will be your 3 permanent...

Correct! Sorry for the mistake on the U!

Definitely agree. Plus, I believe Jim Phillips should make a very public trip to the University of South Florida and discuss possible membership. USF has a large undergraduate population. Plus, they are pretty Big in Research. Also, they are AAU which FSU is not! 1500 acre campus in Tampa...

I Saw David Teel's suggestion on the ACC network yesterday which sounded logical: Add NAVY, Stanford, and Cal which would add two of Notre Dame's "must have" opponents. This would move ND to 7 ACC games (5 current contracted games plus Navy and Stanford). Use the 7 games as leverage to bring...

One article quoted Mountain West Commissioner as saying that if Stanford and Cal were to go independent, MW would take their Olympic sports. What if they joined the ACC in Football only, would MW still make that deal. This would say the distance problem for all the Olympic Sports. I suppose...

I realize that words that we hear on TV talk shows are pretty cheap. However, I watched the SEC Commissioner on the SEC network being interviewed by Paul Finebaum(No Friend of the ACC or Tech). Greg Sankey made it pretty clear that the SEC had no plans for further expansion. He said that the...

Absolutely Agree!

Take a look at the attached showing part of some comments made by UNC AD Bubba Cunningham. He was being interviewed by a Raleigh radio show concerning the FSU comments. To me, he is showing a little Hypocrisy with these comments since UNC was part of the "Magnificent 7" investigating the GOR...

ESPN(Pete Thamel) reports that ASU and Utah have formally applied for membership in Big 12. PAC 12 down to 4 teams if these two are approved for membership in Big 12. Dead conference.

BIG1 Presidents have approved their commissioner to explore adding Washington and Oregon per Pete Thamel.

FSU's public whining has hurt the perception of the ACC for years. They make the conference look unstable, plus they leave the conference open to belittlement by the talking-heads on ESPN and SEC network(Finebaum). The media crowd has already anointed the NEW Big 12 as the #3 conference...

As I have said in the past, I consider myself a Traditionalist. Even with recent changes, I still believe college football is a tradition bound sport. I don't believe we should make any changes to BD@HGF. Surely, money can be found from other sources. I believe some of our members will like...

Remember when Jim Harbaugh and other coaches were having Satellite Camps in Georgia (Cedar Grove) plus other southern states (2016). Sabin and Harbaugh had a twitter war for a while, and before 2016 ended, the Satellite Camps were outlawed by the NCAA. I don't believe the SEC wants the BIG in...
