Curry had a history of recruiting well when he first arrived at a school and then the recruiting would start to fall off. "Bama" folks recognized this or for other reasons decided to let him go and many of the Curry recruits ended up with a NC under the ex TxA&M coach, can't recall his name. I'm...

We need to obtain a mindset of paying CBK if he is successful and not take it for granted that we can go cheap and keep him because he's a Tech guy. I'm not saying we have to pay him above all other coaches but we need to pay him well in relation to what the industry is doing at the time and...

I could see each sport having to stand on it's own as the years move along. I do not see the NFL supporting other sports and I think CFB is headed to something similar. If you do not have successful FB program you could be removed from a conference which means you better do what it takes to be...

I wonder if the Big might even play 10 conference games when the conference reaches something like say 24 teams, seems to me it would pay them to do so at that time. Where does that leave us regarding playing UGA? Seems like when the Big 10 was at 11 teams they played 10 conference games every...

If I'm reading some of the above correctly, IMO the biggest positive to happen to GTFB since the retirement of Dodd was the GT administration making a commitment to do whatever it takes to get GTFB to winning at the highest level. It takes leadership and maybe we finally have it in place.

For me it just seems clear that the BIG wants media mkts and Miami/Palm/Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater/Sarasota (S. FL) are media mkts they want along with Atlanta (GT) and the state of NC. Given the choice of SEC or BIG, UNC definitely goes BIG and I'm not sure whether UVA is...

You may be right, except he may be working to get each current ACC school placed in one of the big 3 conferences that will dominate CFB for some of the coming years, Big10, SEC, Big 12.

I like where we are, I like how we are perceived (if that is how we are really perceived) and I like what I see going on with GTFB and think we're going to be fine this year (6 wins or better) and think we are going to be fine going fwd. Winning will pick up fan interest over the coming years, I...

Which indicates to me he thinks they have some QB potential on campus

There seems to be one constant in it all if I look deep enough each time and that is money is always a driving force.

Will have to see how all the realignment plays out over the next few years first, but it is appearing that the BIG and the Big 12 will be National conferences and the SEC a regional conference. I'm just wondering if the SEC survives 15-20 years from now being a regional conference. I could see...

I've wondered if the "at the game stadium experience/new stadiums" might be for the people who have money, smaller stadiums that offer a very different experience than todays experience. May already be happening in small way some where, not sure, Baylor University stadium in Waco supposedly is...

If the TV folks revenue drops then the whole thing could go upside down and certainly the advertising business is fast changing, watching Walmart for instance having big increases in ad revenue as they get into ecommerce more and more, those bucks are being taken out of some ad bucks that were...

Impressed or not it still opens them up to eligibility for BIG membership and it tells me Miami somehow eventually ends up in the BIG. The other 3 I don't really have an opinion, although I'm guessing ND may be forced to join BIG in order to get the kind of schedule they would need to stay...

The problem I've always seen with FSU to the BIG is they are in a rural market and that is not the pattern or what some in the BIG have indicated fits their expansion formula, The BIG seems to be mirroring the NFL somewhat. Media mkts seem to be one of the main underlying determinations in...

I saw something in last day or two that said Clemson was considering going independent, not sure what they see that says going independent is the way out of the trap that is the ACC. This is just me but I still think the ACC is over in 5 years or less, not sure how it happens just think half or...

Six new schools given AAU designations including U Miami FL, Arizona State U, U South FL, ND

Six new schools given AAU designation including U Miami FL, Arizona State U, U South FL and ND. So much for FSU to the Big 10 at least for now.

6 new schools given AAU designation including U Miami FL, U. South FL, Arizona State, ND. So much for FSU to the Big 10 for now, they end up in SEC appears to me.

Not sure what discussion this belongs under, but makes some interesting points regarding CFB and realignment, be interested in others thoughts on what he's saying.
