I was thinking about this as well. I mentioned in another thread that teams/players that have the CFP as their primary end-of-season goal may have little motivation if they don’t get in. However, I think there is a valid reason besides just culture as to why the mindset is different between uga...

This may (or may not) have had some impact on the timing of the public announcement - I see on his Twitter account that he just lost his father on the 28th. My condolences to Jess - this is a rough time of year when this happens.

I’m trying to filter out attrition due to graduates. In years past, those would be normal - we would gripe about the occasional starter not getting accepted into GT’s grad school, but that was it. Now with the existence of the portal, it has become higher visibility because “going into the...

I can't tell from your post if Douse is a surprise to you or not. He gave us 5 years.

As far as the revenue loss of an 11-game regular season is concerned, I don’t see it as a big deal. For one, the dropped game would likely be one of the rent-a-win, lower-watched OOC games that are relatively revenue-neutral to the P5 schools. Second, even the first-round playoff game in a field...

I can see scenarios where top players simply sit out their third season as they await the NFL draft. Why risk injury, and they're already getting paid...

This is directionally correct, in that the revenue is associated with the bowl invite, not winning or losing. But to clarify, the revenue goes to the ACC. Winning or losing does not affect the revenue distribution to the schools. However starting next year the upper-tier (CFP and NY6) bowls...

Don't think I want to go there, but you're welcome to give it a shot. 🙂 https://www.bing.com/images/create

Thanks, I didn't do much more than paste your description into Image Creator and take the best of several iterations. :)

An additional factor...“Playoff or bust” teams (like FSU, Ohio State, and even uga) that failed to reach their season’s goal may see little point in playing in a relatively meaningless bowl. Next year there will be a larger field of these teams that still have something to play for. In...

The Carolina schools would also be on board with them not allowing byes before or after coast-to-coast trips.

Is this something like what you had in mind? Bing Image Creator can't seem to spell correctly but I can keep trying, lol.

That first play definitely looks like an option play, the second could be also. Notably, on the second if it was an option instead of a called fake, Haynes made an incredibly quick decision to keep and run.

This is a great showcase of some of our best run plays. Granted, UCF's run D isn't good, but both TEs blocked well on the first play, enabling extra yardage. On King's 5-yard TD run, his fake toss took two defenders completely out of the play. Also, Jamal has quick feet and is outstanding at...

I just re-read the GORs, both the 2013 version and the latest 2016 version. If anyone is interested: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://storageaccountstart88df.blob.core.windows.net/ndnationshare/ACC-Grant-of-Rights-1.pdf...

I would love to see the details of how uga kept Stetson eligible by complying with the NCAA's "progress toward degree" requirements. Didn't we get burned by that rule when we changed to semesters?

https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/2017/7/16/15978476/acc-limits-number-of-opponents-coming-off-bye-weeks Sure, any school can request bye weeks. However, the league office has to grant them when determining schedules. I guess CPJ was incorrect when he accused the league office of always...

It was reasonable to assume when the GOR was last signed in 2016 that, even if the ESPN deal fell through in 2027, a media deal of some sort would be available to the ACC through 2036. Under this assumption, the GOR would continue to provide a powerful incentive to members to stay put, since...

ACC collusion is well-documented concerning schools scheduling byes before facing CPJ. Of course, the ACC denies...
