  1. “I have always supported states rights when we were talking about things like slavery, but football is serious business.”
  2. I don’t see why anyone would believe that FSU was staying in the ACC a second longer than they have to. If you give FSU and Clemson 20+, that leaves 12 million for the other 14 schools. I cannot imagine UNC and UVA are going to want to be 20 million behind two conference mates when they may be more valuable to other conferences than Clemson. If you include those schools in the extra money, is VaTech and NCState really going to be okay with that?
  3. LHN showed one non-conference game and one conference game every year (basically whichever of ISU/Kansas was a home game for most years).
  4. Sark has done most of those things too, though, right? Sold out season tickets, signed or transferred a large number of highly-recruited players, brought in pretty respected assistant coaches, created momentum that has alums, players, and students excited. The only two he seems to be missing is "chang[ing] the way people will use social media to attract talent forever" and possibly "merchandis[ing] his personal brand.
  5. Maybe that's the plan - join now so they get a 100% share of that billion dollars that FSU/Clemson are going to pay to get out of the GOR.
  6. A&M paying with these bad boys.
  7. Probably not, but they struggled in some games too. They beat 8-4 VaTech by 2 and 8-4 BC by 11. They were the best team, but they were not invincible.
  8. This made me laugh.
  9. But ours is the biggest... https://twitter.com/UTAustin/status/1694028085660659785?s=20
  10. I think USC Traveler is right, unless it’s just a coincidence that ABC did not broadcast any prime time SEC games last season, even though almost none of them were against CBS games.
  11. That’s not a thing anymore. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-passes-rule-allowing-immediate-eligibility-for-intraconference-transfers-starting-in-2021-season/amp/
  12. To be clear, I wasn’t suggesting that ESPN would put the better game on ESPN, I was suggesting that ESPN would have better games because they own a lot more inventory, so they are much more likely to have two good games at the same time than Fox or CBS, and thus conferences with deals with mostly ESPN will have more games on cable.
  13. I think ESPN has historically put more big games on cable than any other network, so my guess is the conferences with deals with them tend to be lower than those with deals with Fox. ESPN gets better ratings than FS1 and ESPN also just owns more inventory than Fox and can only show the same number of games on its network.
  14. If the other areas of the state hadn't won a title since 1990 and central Texas had four different teams win six total titles in that time frame, I'd probably say central Texas was better. I generally agree that the median Big 12 school is better than the median ACC school, but I think the lack of anything at the top makes the ACC the better football conference (at least until FSU/Clemson/Miami leave).
  15. I could see an argument for splitting it 50-50 between the family and Oher, but there is no way it makes sense for SJ and Collins to get equal shares.
  16. The ACC has three national championships in football over the last decade and the Big 12 has none. If you remove Clemson and FSU, that obviously changes, but while they're in the league, you cannot say the football has been better over the last decade.
  17. They're supposedly getting $10 million a year from UCLA, at least for now.
  18. Interesting article on the ACC. I particularly noted the reason for NC State's no-vote on expansion - not that they have anywhere to go, but they want to be tied to UNC (and thus presumably in the ACC forever). https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38198507/acc-florida-state-college-football-2023-conference-realignment
