  1. Conference Realignment

    The existing fans might not be lesser fans, although based on what a lot of people here say, I’m not even sure that’s true (I think there is a non trivial number of GT fans who would stop watching games if we didn’t play UGAg every year, for example). The real problem is new fans. It’s hard to...
  2. Conference Realignment

    I think you’ve nailed it. It remains to be seen whether it works, but it’s clear to me that networks think there’s too much college football they don’t need to pay for. Just replicating what they do on Sundays with the NFL on Saturdays with, apparently the B1G, would give them enough...
  3. Coming soon to GT: Corporate sponsorships and new names for football field and basketball gym

    Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field is were we are gonna be watching home games. Rolls right off the tongue.
  4. Conference Realignment

    UVA has the highest athletic revenues in the ACC (it’s very close to Clemson and FSU, so the actual ranks may fluctuate year to year).
  5. Conference Realignment

    I think Miami would be smart to consider independence as well. They have the kind of national brand that could actually make it work. Maybe schedule annual home and away games with Notre Dame as well, with a Catholics vs Convicts series every year. If the 7 teams are to be believed, and if...
  6. Conference Realignment

    I agree that the ACC didn’t do anything wrong. At the same time, the big change is the PAC-12 implosion showed how quickly things can change. And the ACC is at risk of things changing. In truth, as someone else pointed out, even the Big12 might be more stable than the ACC simply because...
  7. Conference Realignment

    I hope I’m wrong but a lot of the advantages GT had when it was reportedly last approached by the B1G only to turn them down have now disappeared. 1. Access to Atlanta TV market. This mattered because the B1G could charge more for BTN subscriptions in the Atlanta market if GT made it an in...
  8. NIL in CBB

    The entire campus is filled with students on scholarship who are also employees of the college. Ever walked into the library, or into the IT department, or had a TA, or an RA in college? They are also welcome to start their own businesses, sell their NILs, work in ads, be influencers, etc. and...
  9. Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    Probably not. Too many death marches running down the clock. But I doubt the CPJ offense would ever punt. And CPJ wouldn’t need to field a defense. CGC’s offense would find a way to not score even without a defense to stop them.
  10. Conference Realignment

    No one is talking about it and I’m not sure what Texas and Oklahoma have signed so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised if those 2 might not also come into play (or possibly A&M and Texas) for the B1G. This is beyond obvious. The B1G is gonna bring in massive state schools in the west that are...
  11. Conference Realignment

    The biggest thing this deal g Also, how many of those years included NIL in non pandemic years? NIL guarantees that more money = success. At least more success than teams with less money.
  12. Conference Realignment

    Neither ND nor the B1G need ND to be part of the B1G. A similar arrangement like ND has with the ACC will work just fine for both parties. It gets the B1G and its TV sponsors another marquee non conference game without having to contribute a single penny. And it allows ND to remain...
  13. Conference Realignment

    The more I think about it, the more I believe pulling in USC/UCLA is about pulling UT/OU to the B1G. If they’re able to get them to pick the B1G over the SEC that would be a huge coup that would completely change the conversation. If I was the B1G commissioner I would be willing to give them...
  14. Conference Realignment

    The B1G is clearly pushing the idea of being the NFL of college football. And it may actually work because unlike the SEC they have a national profile. If they pull this off they may even try to snag a Texas team (I think either A&M or UT will be willing to move over if the B1G play them off...
  15. Conference Realignment

    The GOR is more collusion than anything else. I’m surprised it’s even legal (not a lawyer). Frankly, I doubt it is. If it ever gets tested in the courts I suspect it will collapse rapidly.
  16. The Handshake

    Berating a ****ty coach in his face is a completely different look than not being able to look the coach of the team that just beat yours in the eye while shaking their hand. Whatever you may think about the decorum and civility of the 2 actions and how important it is, what is undeniable is...
  17. Was our defense hamstrung in the past?

    1 year at the end of which he chose to retire and he was his 4th DC. I don’t think the fact that he did not criticize him in a year where he chose to retire tells you much.
  18. NCAA violations found at GT

    Lol. What I can’t get over is the millions coaches make, while our athletes get their lives ruined because they accepted jerseys worth a couple,of hundred dollars from a cousin, or a couple,of hundred dollars worth flights paid for by some guy. Amateurism is the biggest sham in college athletics.
  19. Paul Johnson era signature game

    28-12. That has to be THE signature game. We broke a long losing streak to UGA, and if we had lost that game, Georgia would have set the longest streak in the rivalry.
