I tried to spot differences between #5, 10, and 15. To my very untrained eye, they all appeared to have about the same level of competence. I think we will be ok at QB if the starter goes down.

To all the posters worried about losing our history...an insightful post from another site – "You know what would kill our history is if we become any more irrelevant. Then no one’s gonna give a öööö about Grant or Dodd.”

Just FYI, the Hyundai partnership goes deeper than just the field naming rights. https://ramblinwreck.com/georgia-tech-and-hyundai-announce-multi-decade-partnership/

Let's put this in perspective. $3.5M annually is equivalent to a 25% increase in donations to the AA, 26% of our debt service, or 28% of our ticket sales. It moves the needle in the right direction at a time when the need is dire. I, and most others on this board, refer to the location where...

Their methodology states that they didn't count OOC, bowls, or conference championships, so as to focus just on Conference team ranking, and to discount some of the outliers for a better average. I think the methodology is sound for what it is attempting to do. That said, GT is penalized by...

Agree. And while most regular-season college games don’t tend to approach NFL viewership numbers, the Championships do. To your point about quality matchups driving viewership - the CFP Semi’s ranged from 15.7M to 28.3M, and the Championship games from 17.3M to 33.9M (not surprisingly, last...

When in doubt, follow the money. If you do this, @SOWEGA Jacket is directionally correct. Specifically, the entity that controls the majority of the most meaningful games will control the most $$, and thus be able to dictate what conferences and their teams must do. That entity will soon become...

I think the CFP is gradually "testing the waters" to see how well things work with the expanded playoffs, so it's still too early to tell where things are headed. I think it's feasible, with the increased revenue potential of expanded playoffs, to see some or all FBS conferences move back to an...

To a non-lawyer, you appear to make some valid points. I am working under the assumption that if FSU leaves, either to another conference or independent, in the absence of litigation, the GoR means ACC still gets revenue from FSU home games. ACC wins, FSU loses. So why would ACC sue? The only...

Not only that, but (and I'm not an attorney) it appears the legal strategy cited is to protect FSU from being sued. That might help them get around not paying the exit fee, but the ACC still gets the revenue from their games via the GoR and ESPN contract. So the ACC doesn't need to sue FSU to...

You must not have lived in Tally as I did. :) UF may get the most media coverage for the state as a whole, but FSU fandom is very strong in the northern part, and into south Georgia.

If FSU is looking for $$, that signals that they aren't planning to "break" the GoR, but simply trying to find ways of funding their football operations if they leave the conference and lose ACC revenue distribution. Still not seeing how they generate enough revenue to give investors a decent...

Speculating if FBS would go to a 25-team playoff, which would align with the number of teams in the polls. In any case, there are plenty of teams that end up ranked at the end of the season despite having 4 losses. USC east had 5 losses and remained ranked, but "SEC" of course. Pitt has 4...

You know the playoff is going to 12 teams next year (2024 season), right? That will address this issue for a team finishing in the top 10.

Apparently, I wasn't the first to think of this..."More than 2 ½ years ago, the Knight Commission called for FBS to separate from the NCAA. In 2021, Ohio State AD Gene Smith suggested the CFP take over the FBS." Makes too much sense to happen.

Agreed. I listened to most of the podcast. All the "noise" appears based on comments and interviews with FSU's BoT chair, Peter Collins. While he certainly is in a position to know what's going on, he plays the GoR issue close to the vest, not hinting at what FSU's strategy might be. All I...

I realize this thread is drifting into “the future of college football…”, but I think the playoffs will continue to expand and start to drive decisions, rather than the conferences. We’re at 12 teams now. Expansion to 32 is not out of the question, since the lower-tier conferences already...

Ditto for that Kansas game. The game was actually close until CPJ made some of his patented halftime adjustments - then our offense just exploded in the third quarter!

Unless the ACC is run by complete idiots (insert obligatory comment here), both sides in a negotiation generally have something to gain and something to give. Why would the ACC "negotiate" for less $$?

Yeah, “in the long run” was a stretch on my part – maybe “intermediate-term after his departure” would have been more accurate in describing the trailing time frame after CPJ. Hopefully, we will be fully recovered within a few more years. But here are some negative impacts for the intermediate...
