I agree that nothing is happening right now. But, there is no way it lasts to 2036. The seed has been planted just like an expanded playoff. But the difference in yearly money is to great to be ignored and the schools stuck in the ACC won’t just give up. I think the conference will blow up...

This is where we simply disagree. Some posters act as if athletes are the only students on campus with “extra” demands on them. That is ridiculous. You act as if the regular students go to class a few hours a day and then sleep and watch TV all day. Most students work, have family...

Well, I can’t help you with that one. If you didn’t realize 20 years ago that all schools including GT were admitting morons and paying players under the table in some form or fashion then I can understand where NIL is a shock today. I wish I was lucky enough to have had my eyes closed until...

And you are perfectly fine doing that. It’s all about personal choices. I personally approve of greed because that is what drives innovation and brings us more options. For sports, we disagree. I love bigger playoffs because it gives me more excitement season to season that my team has a...

Take a look at what? That it hasn’t happened in a 10 day period? Come on. Things happen in bursts over shorter and shorter time periods. Just in this century - The ACC adds Miami and VT in 2004. Adds BC in 2005. Adds Syracuse and Pitt in 2011 then Louisville in 2012 then get the tip...

To your point you are correct. And it’s coming. A vastly expanded playoff system will be here soon. Now, the definition of soon in college football is not the normal definition because the back door money is still flowing and always will. But the fairly quick expansion from 2 teams to 4 and...

Dude, so you are comparing some teams who are waiting a couple of years to teams who will fall behind by millions for 14 years? There is no way schools like Clemson, ND, FSU, and Miami are going to be ok with imploding their programs for the next 14 years. Just because you are a fan of a...

Some of y’all just don’t see the big picture. If teams want to go then no contract written years ago will stop them. We’ve seen this over and over again in sports. Those who still believe a 5 page contract will stop anything until 2036 are delusional. But you can carry on saying we aren’t...

And you are consistently giving this group excuses for failure. I am definitely guilty of wondering why our D1 recruited DB’s can’t cover wide recievers. I‘m definitely guilty of wondering why we struggle to make gimme field goals. I‘m definitely guilty of wondering why our defensive...

I would entertain this thought if this discussion was held around game 5 of season 1. But 3 years! 3 YEARS!!!! That’s not dissonance, that is incompetence. Middle school coaches would have fixed that during the first season. That’s why I am most disappointed in Key and Choice. They watched...

You guys who still believe Collins is a top tier defensive coach are just wishing and hoping. If he were adjustments would have been made by game 4 of year 1. He would not hold back using his genius while his reputation and his program become jokes for THREE years. Hey, I hope we get better...

This would be awesome if ESPN causes the contract to change and opens the path for us to go to the BIG.

I accepted years ago that GT does not care about me either as an alum or a fan. You gotta accept it and decide how you want to spend your money. I have a kid at GT now. He has figured out in year 1 that GT doesn’t care about him as a student either. It’s a business. He says GT students of...

We are way past the beginning of our end. In case you haven’t noticed we’ve finished ranked 3 times in the past 20 years. Once in the past 12 years. We are an afterthought in college football. We have done less with more than any school I can think of. We are in one of, if not the top, hot...

Those who want NIL to go away have short memories. So, we should go back to a system where schools pay players under the table and then random people at the NCAA or “League Commissioners” office gets to decide that we won’t investigate Alabama or Georgia or Florida but we’ll investigate Georgia...

Yeah, we are already doing that as seen by the fans NOT attending games. I know I plan my Saturdays around the GT game because I’m a GT fan and we are currently P5. But I also make sure I’m in a position to watch the real games. So if GT plays NIU at noon I make sure I have a viable TV close...

Notre Dame is not coming full time to the ACC. We have the worst TV contract of all conferences so they aren‘t signing on to that garbage. They have much better options than the ACC. They played the ACC office like a fiddle to get their other sports a home while football kept the NBC money...

I hear you and don’t disagree if we are talking about right now. But when the car dealership is approached by Car Max to be bought out or say it’s a local Ford Dealership and Ford is bought by Toyota don’t you think all those contracts are now changed? I think we agree, but I just don’t think...

I know. But the GOR won’t exist in its current form. That’s where we are talking past each other. I agree that if GT tries to leave by themselves that litigation will follow. But if 4 go to the BIG and 4 go to the SEC and those 8 vote themselves leaders of the race car club don’t you think...

I know all this. And I’m not making bolstering statements on the internet. I know it’s complicated. I’m simply saying there is zero chance the GOR holds the ACC together until 2036. None. The GOR was created by people due to a monetary incentive. These same people will undo the GOR once...
