Does she get invited to tryout for an NBA team? Drafted by someone in a late round?

🙏

I'm not convinced that we're going to like the outcome for Georgia Tech (ie, anything other than membership in the Big 10). But I'm ready to get this over with once and for all.

And by the way, the Big and the SEC can do whatever they want...but what percentage of the overall fanbase do they control? A minority portion. So, sure, they are going to get eyeballs from people who want to see the games...but the vast majority of football consumers will NOT be alumni of...

Thank you, and welcome to the English Football system. That's one convert down, and just a few more to go...

Imagine two leagues of 32 teams each: the Premier League and the Champions League. Whichever league your school is in, you get 1/32 of that league's TV revenue for the year. So, if television contracts for the Premier League are worth $320 Million, you get $10 Million for playing in the the...

Years - and I do mean years - ago, it occurred to me that the SEC would eventually catch up with the ACC in basketball. Why? I'm glad you asked. Because football is the revenue sport, and the best basketball coaches will be hired by the schools with the money to pay them.

Alabama - Auburn Mississippi - Mississippi St. Tennessee - Vanderbilt Now if they want to remain exclusively in the Southeast without more duplication, that only leaves North Carolina (UNC & NCSU) and Virginia (UVA & VT). But they could easily add one from FL (FSU), one from GA, one from SC...

Based on the analysis Wreck Talk reviewed on his YouTube channel yesterday, it sounds like a lot of college teams are barely scraping by. Including us.

And Justified. We dug coal together.

Yep. I've been saying this for the past year or two...and advocating for a multi-tier system like the English leagues. Every school would eventually reach their proper level and play for their leagues' respective National titles. CBS, ESPN, et al, would have MULTIPLE playoff games and...

Ya know, Calipari showed up at Kentucky with his one-and-done show, and Coach K hated it but was forced to go along with the trend. Then he showed he could out-Calipari Calipari when he won another natty with three starting freshman (Winslow, Okafor, Jones) in 2015. But I don't think any coach...

Which leaves a lot of revenue potential for the Big.

60+% of the US population lives east of the Mississippi. But that means that nearly 40% lives where the SEC has little presence (with the exceptions of TX and OK). Additionally, the SEC has NO presence north of KY and MO which leaves the entire NE and upper midwest completely ignored.

Ali v. Tyson. I'm giving the edge to Ali due to his speed and reach advantage. If Ali can hang with Foreman and Frazier, he can take Tyson's punches, also. According to Buster Douglas, after 7-8 rounds, Tyson runs out of gas.

Speaking for the entire state of North Carolina, nobody likes Kentucky anyway.

What I'm saying is not that the SEC needs an Atlanta-based team, but that they don't want the Big to have one. So, it would be a defensive move for the SEC to add Tech in order to shut the Big out.

This is a very good point...an angle I hadn't considered before. The SEC might think it better to have Tech on board than to give the Big a foothold.

Well, yeah. Anyone who was in a position to influence the outcome of that skirmish had to have been at least 30 years old in 1964. That makes them 90 or more today. Not saying fans on either side weren't BORN yet, but old enough to remember? It's like a gathering of the last D-Day veterans...
