Call me a cynic but I think it’s being ignored because people largely fall into two camps: A. Tune in on Saturday to bark at the TV and don’t pay any attention to anything that happens on Sunday - Friday (and especially the off season). B. Largely believe that this goes on everywhere and the...

More so the company we’re keeping... Hopefully we aren’t talking about losing games like this for very much longer

Not a glowing review by any stretch, but the worst thing said about Tech in that article the UVA season prediction.

It’s a “puff piece” that ran its course... or maybe we’re giving it a collective shrug off because it’s the first time we haven’t been the brunt of the joke for a while. Making stuff up would be a lot more fun and drive more clicks

The nice thing about quoting anonymous sources is that the anonymous source can’t challenge your quote. Don’t quote me on that.

You’re not going to get a disagreement from me on this. The NCAA standard of “0” was a lazy unattainable standard but it was set because they had no idea how to quantify appropriate levels of compensation. Probably more accurate statement is they didn’t have the guts to try... it would’ve...

Not as inflammatory as I remember previous versions. Coaches are going soft.

I’m going back to this post and saying that I would never equate the two. You said “somewhat” so I won’t derail into semantics, but i don’t think the comparison suggests a clear understanding of at least one of the concepts you’re equating. I would not expect pay to be equal anymore than I would...

Fun thought... Will student athletes unionize? All of their employers are either state institutions or private institutions under their individual state laws. Unless there is a unifying national body, it’s hard to imagine that being one size fits all... How are GA and SC going to compare to...

So much to unpack and so many unknown consequences, but the “good intentions” of revenue sharing are going to be another boon to big football programs. If a kid in a non-revenue sport is considering a couple of schools, the possibility of that school’s football success now becomes a bigger...

Curiosity got me... both UGA and Ole Miss play us but neither plays another non-SEC P5 opponent. The two SEC teams that play 10 P5 opponents are: South Carolina (UNC & Clem) Florida (Utah & FSU) When I found those two, I stopped looking so condemn the tweet (not me :D) if you find a 3rd.

I think you’re both kinda right... big time programs in the big revenue sports have been trending away from “student” part of student athlete for a while. First it was a couple of kids... then it was a handful of kids... now it’s several kids and increasing. The schooling aspect is an...

a complete title might read “Number of teams playing at least 10 Power 5 opponents...” 12 out of 14 SEC teams will only face 9 opponents from P5 conferences. They also are keeping an 8 game conference schedule with the addition of TX and OU, so it’s not likely to change.

Ultimately, yes. But since those other conferences will renegotiate before the ACC, there could be a period of 2-4 years where the revenues could tighten before we would likely follow suit and drop accordingly after 2036. For what it’s worth, I’m not banking on that but in the context of the...

Very possible, IMO. I have argued that I think the current ACC deal is under valued in today’s market. It could also be true that the market has peaked and could be retracting. Maybe by virtue of the long contract we missed the “highs” of the bubble, and we’re headed back the other way. For...

You’re right in the sense that I (and since this site collectively can’t find it) and potentially no one outside of ACC / ESPN knows the particulars of the programming requirements. What we do know is that the grant of rights gives the ACC the right to media of the 15 teams party to the...

No... in the scenario presented, the ACC still own the rights to and ESPN can still broadcast Clemson games, whether they are in the ACC or not. That’s what the grant of rights does. The tv guys pay the same as long as the programming stays the same (and it does). But... no one is leaving...

Sit back and wait for it... by the end of the day, we’ll be told that this is a GOOD sign for FSU. It’s all but a done deal now!

I think this is a pretty good dig at both of us...
