[QUOTE="Techster, post: 1007272, member: 360"] I think it's easy for someone to sit in their kitchen or office or basement and throw out insults to someone who actually puts their neck out their to post something unique. As the saying goes, "It's easier to destroy than create something". Twitter is full of a bunch of sh!t, but I do think some of these guys have some good sources so I don't wholly dismiss everything. Maybe their sources are more bad than good...which seems to be the case on Twitter. I come from the Private Equity world. I see a bunch of crap all day, and have to sift through it to discern what's useful and what isn't. That's not why I enjoy these discussions. I enjoy these discussions because I enjoy looking at the strategy of "why" and how it fits into the big picture. If you go back and look at my posts on realignment going back years, I tend to try to see how certain news fits the overall picture. I was one of the first ones to say that the SEC and B1G were up to something most of us haven't even thought of yet, and college sports model was changing in the next decade. I also said that the B1G and SEC have aspirations beyond their regional standing at that moment. Here we are. While it's natural, and even prudent, to question anything and everything, my perspective is "How does this fit in the context of what someone/an organization/etc. is trying to do, and what the ultimate goal is." As we are seeing, so many are getting lost in the weeds of one statement or detail, and throwing out information because one thing is wrong, or it doesn't fit their view of what they believe the status quo should be. For a lot of people, one bad statement disqualifies an entire chapter...and we know from history that to believe that is closed minded. For me, it's much more fun and entertaining to go down a rabbit hole of fleshing out ideas...whether good or bad. As I've said many times, these realignment discussions are pure entertainment. Way too many are taking this too seriously. Maybe it's because it's a reflection of insecurities of GT's standing or membership in the ACC and it's murky future. Maybe it's because it's "easier" to destroy than actually think outside of the box. It's fun to see who actually puts thoughts behind their postings, and who just has a triggered response.
