Can I get a “Square Root GPA” IPA? That’s more my speed...

There’s also an angle that ESPN should protect their investment. So if the ACC is the most profitable for ESPN, it’s because they get a lot of programming people watch for cheap. If people quit watching because the product deteriorates, ESPN sees revenue decline. It may be prudent for them to...

I have a very hard time believing that “road games” are the answer. To my knowledge, no one here is privy to the ESPN agreement. The GOR has been out there but it simply says the rights are granted to fulfill the obligations of the ESPN agreement. We don’t know what that means, but it’s...

Does that add any validity to it? I think the point is that it is neither informed or informative. It’s simply a product of everyone having a computer and an opinion. If there is even a shred of validity or objectivity to it, then we’ve been going about everything entirely wrong. I have a...

While I completely agree that better performance by many of us would be a big lift for the conference, I would be very surprised if a representation of future performance was made. I could see a representation of things we can control... investment, facilities, additional conference games or...

You are very right. There is no way this lasts until 2036, especially not in its current form. It’s just too difficult to arrive at a buyout number with this much term left right now, so it’s testing waters or they think they have a legal angle to get out of it... or at least get to the table...

Yes. Sometimes it works and sometimes... Paul Hewitt

Agreed. So their options are: 1. Walk away from $400M +/- with little media value to offer potential suitors. 2. Argue that ESPN /ACC are not living up to their end of the agreement as presented when they signed GOR, knowing this will at least get them to the negotiating table. The distant...

First off, I absolutely agree with you 100%. GOR is valid and here to stay unless and until it’s legally overturned or it sunsets as it was designed to do. FSU agreed to it and must abide by it. BUT I can’t believe they plan to forego 12 +/- years of revenue to jump ship now. I have to...

I don’t see FSU beating GOR outright. I also don’t see FSU walking away from $35m / year and their TV rights without a landing spot. I also don’t see who would pay them more for diminished rights. IF this is actually happening, I foresee a lawsuit alleging that FSU entered into GOR with...

Since you mentioned it, let’s give props to Pastner and whoever else was responsible for the most brilliantly managed post season ban ever. (y) So he’s got that going for him!

I completely agree with your second paragraph... killer instinct, strong with the ball when we know fouls are coming, absolutely right. I am not sure what game flow has to do with fouls getting called or not. A foul is a foul... or should be. How a game has been called for 30 minutes...

My issue is not swallowing the whistle, per se. I prefer the refs swallow the whistle unless things are egregious. my issue is the only time down the stretch that they DIDNT swallow the whistle was to put Appleby on the line to win the game. It probably was a foul but it probably didn’t need to...

That’s my uneasy laugh of hearing something oddly sad but true. The tangible vs theoretical nature is not one I had thought of but I completely see it

We can run ‘em left or right... that’s 8.

Honey, you’re ugly. You’ve really let yourself go. You used to be pretty and I truly believe you can be pretty again. No, honey, please stop! I mean it... I just believe you’re capable of so much more! Why don’t you just apply yourself? I’m saying it because I care. Believe me, this is a...

I’m sure that statistic is accurate and verifiable with regard to who is accepted. Doesn’t say at all what the individual qualifications of those accepted might be relative to other applicants. Everyone who posted here cited qualifications above the published “averages” for acceptance. Not a...

I’m not sure the writer would draw the same distinction but “Toughest Schedule in the ACC” is not the same as the “Toughest ACC Schedule.” I don’t think I put Carolina at the top of either list, regardless. Not that I’ll cry for Duke, but their ACC schedule catches everyone who would be...

Interesting on the out of state comments from so many of you.... I convinced myself that out of state students would be more attractive because of the increased tuition. I had rationalized that my son, with in state tuition covered by state scholarships (Zell), would be less attractive than a...

This is sad but true. I’ll begrudgingly admit the same! :confused: To put it briefly / mildly, I was quite disappointed... Since this is a sports board, I will stick to sports perspective and say that Tech’s policies in admissions don’t play well with building a fan base. These big state...
