I think you're right but maybe even bigger motivation is what the Big schools do with their research grants. Seems, according to the Ohio State Pres, that the Big Schools share and work with each other in their research projects and grants and that is bigtime motivation to the people working in...

I'm not sure what you are driving at with this, but if 8 teams have places to go and vote to dissolve the ACC then I have to assume yes the ACC folds. There is no GOR cost/penalty if the conference dissolves, but again I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Your second para I'm guessing you're right, dissolution is the route that will be taken rather than something around the GOR. Regarding ESPN they have said they want their investment back in the ACC network, saw that sometime back. If the schools can all come together and work this out that...

A VT alum friend of mine who over the years seems to have really good knowledge of what is going on there told me the other day that not long after VT joined the ACC the SEC approached them about joining their conference. VT told them after all the political fight they had joining the ACC they...

I'm wondering if after expansion the Big plays 10 conference games at some point. At that point ND might find it harder to schedule big name opponents like SC and Stanford. We afforded ND games with their 5 ACC games each year. Being independent for them appears to get harder and harder. Seems...

Who are the big 2?

I don't disagree with you about Swafford, always thought he was nothing more than a puppet controlled by the tobacco road mafia.

If true and I don't know if it is, but why have VT and NC ST joined the four of UNC, FSU, Miami, Clemson in the fight to either change the distribution formula for the $ or dissolve the ACC? I'm guessing the SEC may have let them know they are interested in inviting them to the SEC. The SEC has...

The only place I might disagree with you is FL. Think the Big wants south FL and will take Miami who is supposedly close to an AAU membership. Do they also see that FSU becomes AAU and take them, I don't know but think the media mkts of Tampa, St. Pete, Orlando, West Palm, Ft Lauderdale Miami...

I'm not saying this is or is not but sometimes it can be a positive if better players are taking playing time away from another player. To me it means we are improving our quality of depth as we go. It would seem to me that this improves CFB overall.

I remember when Jerry Jones was considering bringing Sanders from SF to the Cowboys he went to his team and talked about just the sort of things you're mentioning and the team decided they wanted to bring him in. If I remember correctly that worked out extremely well. You may be right but I...

I just saw a very brief mention that the Big 10 has made a decision to move on and not pursue any more Pac 12 schools. And also we're seeing at the same time mention of something possibly going on where FSU, Clemson SEC; UVA, UNC, GT, Miami Big 10; Pitt, VT, NC St., Louisville Big 12, and Wake...

Yep, appeared to me that from somewhere around the time Dodd retired being a CFB team located in a major metro area was a liability, lots of competition for those dollars. Now it's looking like it may be changing back in our favor again but more because it is media driven than butts in the...

I know what you're saying but as we know nothing stays the same and CFB is headed for big change whether we like it or not. I'm just glad we're located where we are and who we are because it more than likely will get us included with the survivors when it all plays out.

Two things increase the eye balls and butts in the seats, winning and playing periodically the likes of SC, UCLA, Ohio State, MI, MSU, WI, Penn St. etc. The Big wants ATL and FL, there's no doubt in my mind, they're headed towards being a nationwide conference, scheduling BIG games within their...

Anyone know if Pyron is capable of throwing the long ball?

After many years of watching spring games I finally started just watching individual players (like the coaches do) with the understanding I couldn't figure out what the team would be like in fall.

The conference destination of the ten mentioned has always made the most sense to me as to how it could possibly work out, after weighing all the known factors and input. I've always wondered what happens to Duke, Wake, Syra, BC. I've thought Duke could end up in a BB only conference, but the...

Thanks, did not know that, what is the difference or were we doing something different in each case?

It looked to me like Haynes King under throws a lot of balls.
