Not to mention, in doing so, we would have to release them from GOR. Not that there is any way we could get all schools to sign off on that right now, but we also would not want to set any precedent that released someone from GOR without a huge settlement payment.

His dorm room must be a little bigger than mine was if he put 300 pounds of dogs in it! 🤣

I don’t want to like this because id love ND to join up, but it’s good info nevertheless. Interesting excerpt from the article that is lost in this madness... “Sources say the school should expect around $60 million per year from a new contract,” sports media reporter John Ourand said last...

Well, I’m not sure Stanford is really that desperate. They are among the wealthiest of wealthy and outside of ND may be the next most viable independent out there. I read somewhere (actual article... still maybe drivel, but not Twitter or message board) that they flatly refused the B12. That...

That’s good info that I did not know... much needed context. Thanks

I agree, sort of. I was “around” but wasn’t paying much attention at age 5. I know the history in retrospect and where Tech was when the ACC lifeline came. I had a similar thought when this PAC expansion talks all started. It’s more with regard to Cal, because they are REALLY on the ropes...

That’s all the bulletin board material I need. Count on me to be in in peak form

I can’t like this enough!!! Spot on! Two things we know: 1. FSU is stuck here until we (a) let them leave or (b) 2036. 2. At the earlier of 1(a) or 1(b) happening, they’re gone. Nothing we do in the interim should be for the purpose of making their stay more pleasant.

🤣🤣🤣 This caught me funny this morning. Needless to say, you’re quite right. Everyone is trying to make something of “why” the yes / no votes came down as they did but there are probably just as many reasons as there are votes.

Agree completely. I think we’ve talked past one another. My point, in response to the question, “would we be competitive in the BIG or SEC,” was yes, I THINK we would be. like yours, its my opinion, not an assurance. I foresee, again just my opinion, college football moving toward further...

i could probably throw some Indiana Hoosiers football records at you to prove or disprove something... not sure what. Perhaps it proves largely that you are what you are.... er... you are what you emphasize.

And in the last ten years of their time in the ACC, Maryland had 4 winning seasons and played in five bowl games. If they go bowling this year, their first ten years of BIG football are right in line with their last ten years of ACC football. Rutgers looks just like the Rutgers teams that...

Short answer, yes. I think we are going to be competitive with our peer group, wherever that is. I think we will have more winning records than not, and find ourselves in bowls more often than not. Championships will be hard to come by, but they’re pretty hard to come by now. In our case, I...

Your memory isn’t that fuzzy. I won’t say zero, but I don’t recall many “opt-outs” from playoff games. It’s virtually expected in every other bowl game. I wouldn’t expect opt outs if teams are actually playing for something. Maybe we start to see some after the “novelty” of the playoff wears...

Agree... but it would seem a pretty easy explanation to say that we want high profile athletes to endorse / represent us in high profile games... that’s why we’re paying. Not performance, per se, but to say that they’re paying a kid to represent on the field as long as they’re healthy. Of...

I had no idea you were going to send me down a 7 hour rabbit hole!! Also really well done so far....

That is hysterically well done.

I know where we are and why we’re here, but I do fear where it’s going. You seem to be quite understanding and apologetic toward everyone except for who those say they aren’t on board with a semi- pro model of a handful of teams. I don’t know why its so comical that such a model will alienate...

All teams will have a chance to prove their worth on the field? That’s rich. In case you missed it, the power players are hard at work limiting the pool of potential participants. There is talk of protecting conference champs in the playoff, but the number of conferences seems to be dropping...
