    They may have the most undeserved and misplaced arrogance and delusion of any fan base I’ve encountered. Like Aggy level delusion. What I have learned is they think their football program is on the level of Alabama and their academics is on par with Cal and Stanford. They are better than any Big12 school in both athletics and academics, and they were God’s gift to the PAC when they joined. I really hope they don’t join the Big12…I’m afraid they will be a cancer that disrupts the current collegiality and alignment we are enjoying from the remaining member schools.

    Please be Utah. Please be Utah. Please be Utah. A year ago I was indifferent to them. But then I got to know them this past year. They are my Johnny Ringo. I really hate them.

    What FSU is attempting to do, if this is really what they are trying to do, is extremely complicated, if it can even be done, and it is fraught with legal hurdles. It's also a chess match. If FSU is legitimately trying to do this, the last thing the General Counsel would want is for anything to be made public too early. Don't show your cards until you have to. But these trustees coming out and saying all of this publicly in the haphazard way they seem to be doing it does not help the strategy (unless, and this is a definite possibility, this is a smokescreen on FSU's part). Regardless, loose lips sink ships.

    Surly, you jest. There ain't no agreeing to nothing at SurlyHorns.

    Once again, the FSU General Counsel is probably losing his shit right now with these rogue trustees opening their big mouths. The FSU General Counsel right now:

    Also provides more late Saturday inventory without any of the networks having to pay for the PacX via a media rights deal. Cuts the deadweight of WSU, OSU, Cal, and Stanford from the networks obligations.

    Fucking spectacular work here, folks. This is another person I want to meet and buy drinks for to thank them for the entertainment they have provided all of us.

    Max Olson's money will be no good in any bar that I happen to be in at the same time. That was absolutely fantastic.

    You know, we laugh...but think about it. This is the logical next progression. Everything we watch will eventually be only streaming, and then someone will come along and say, "Hey, if you get this subscription, you can access all your channels directly through one app, box, etc." Guess what...we then come full circle back to essentially what is cable.

    It actually is a prescribed NCAA compliance training piece for student-athletes, coaches, and staff (or at least it was 10 years ago when I was doing athletic certification). Once a year we had to sit in a training session telling us we could not gamble on ANY sport, much less a college sport. Strictly forbidden. They said we couldn't even be in for-money fantasy football league.

    This reminds me of my big question back when the Pete Rose betting scandal hit: "If he bets ON his team to win, how is that a problem?" Maybe I missed it, but I never once saw any reports on HOW he betted (Pete Rose, that is). To me, if a player, coach, administrator, whatever, bets ON the team to WIN, then I have no problem with it. (Yes, I know, gambling slippery slope and getting in hoc with bad elements, yada yada yada). I'm just saying that if a player is extra motivated to play even harder and smarter because he has money on the outcome of his team WINNING, then so be it. No problem with it. And this is coming from someone who is pretty damn conservative when it comes to this stuff.

    "Ok, guys...it's Wednesday, which means we end practice an hour early so you all can hit the phone banks to solicit more subscriptions and get those much needed new chin straps!"

    I'm gonna disagree with you. Right now, I would say cable is still better than streaming. Cable is easier to flip between games. Cable doesn't have buffering issues. Some neighborhoods don't have fiber optic yet. Some are forced to only have two mediocre internet providers. You get the idea.

    I bet the FSU General Counsel is wishing his Board chair would STFU and not be saying this stuff for the whole world to hear. Probably hit the Jack Black hard tonight (the GC that is).
