[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 884455, member: 1682"] We'll see, I'm not so sure, lots of maneuvering going on I'm guessing. There is a big problem for the ACC, SEC, and BIG called GOR and the only way I see around it at this point is enough teams wanting out of ACC to go elsewhere. Who wants out, everyone that can go to SEC and BIG. Looks to me like that means 7 or 8 schools in order to get it done. Just my opinion, but for the ACC to sit there and wait on the GOR to run out (14 yrs ) is just slow, painful suicide. Actually may work better for GT over the next couple yrs, maybe we can get our FB program in better shape with W/L column. If the BIG wants FL they will want ATL, NC and maybe VA also IMO. I've heard UVA does not pull all that well from the media mkts up their way. IMO the BIG badly needs to end up dominate in this current battle, has substantial potential consequences in future years after both conferences get to where they both would like to be in the current moves. Good mgrs/negotiators are thinking many moves ahead. As I've seen mentioned by others, my biggest concern is the negotiators for GT, we have a terrible history of business dealings, negotiations etc., just not part of our DNA it seems, always been that way, think it's the nature of the beast, our minds just don't go there, it was a shock to me when I left GT and started trying to deal, learned on the job, had some really good folks ( luckily ) early on in my life that taught me volumes.
