Can't wait for the concept to catch on with the B1G and SEC in the next 5-10 years.

Pate too. Strange how that works. 🤣

"or could even take another FL team." Good point. If Fox is truly pulling the strings with Big 10 expansion, is it totally outside the realm of possibility that they would push for a state school in a large metropolitan area with the highest enrollment in the entire state of Florida?

The ACC is done. It may take a few years, but its done. It's 2 biggest brands want out. The courts may rule the ACC's way, but those 2 will get out eventually, even if they are forced to stay through the GOR (highly unlikely). Hard to see how this is an option. Locking in the Kentucky and...

I agree with some of what you wrote. Miami won't go the SMU route of receiving no TV money for 7 years from the Big 10 and there is a floor as to what percentage share they would accept from the Big 10. However, I do think they would take less than what they would get as a Big 12 member...

You definitely know why they laugh at yours.

Definitely worth a read. Thank you for posting. And an excellent prediction I might add from the Iowa State AD. The writing is on the wall.

My point is it takes 2 to negotiate. The B10 & SEC hold all the cards. It's like trying to ask the homecoming queen to prom - you can buy the most flowers, offer to take her to the most expensive dinner on prom night, and promise to go to the best After Prom party, but if she's not interested...

My hypothetical wasn't "nothing has been discussed so far". It was nothing SERIOUS had been discussed so far - meaning some trial discussions have been had, but no guarantees given, no NDAs signed, just some generic groundwork. I would agree Miami's leadership would be asleep at the wheel if...

I know this is blasphemous to say on here, but what if feelers have gone out between Miami and the Big 10 or SEC, but nothing close to serious has been discussed so far. Why should Miami be aggressive? I would think that is more likely to be the situation than any type of loyalty to the ACC -...

Bubba's ketchup on cardboard isn't comparable with NY or Chicago? :sneaky:

I hope they're right.

They BETTER have a deal in hand from one of the P2 - and for a full share. If not, things could get really ugly in Trailerhassee. Coach Norvell will be running like Forrest Gump to the bank on payday to make sure the check doesn't bounce.

Super MILF? We're getting into granny **** with that timeline. :cool:

Market is what it is all about. Getting the most Wahoos to sign up for the Fox Sports digital platform. Big state schools (especially flagship schools) give the most bang for the buck - huge student enrollment, alumni throughout the state. It's one of the biggest reasons why FSU is more...

Taking off my orange and green glasses, it would appear to be so, but at least we are (or at least, should be) more prepared. It's out in the open that FSU and Clemson want out. U-Dub and Oregon didn't really have that benefit as the Colorado jump to the Big 12 seemingly came together in about...

It's all based on the circumstances involved. If FOX believes FSU is a must-have and fears the SEC might take them, FSU will get a full share. U-Dub and Oregon had no leverage and didn't bring the TV clout FSU does. Colorado announced they were going to the Big 12 and the remaining PAC 12...

Being that the B1G had no problem busting up a century old conference, particularly one it had a close relationship with for decades as their champions annually met in the Rose Bowl, I'm not sure the AAU accreditation is all that important anymore. If FOX wants FSU, they'll get FSU.

Something definitely will get done, but why do I get the feeling this will just begin a litany of lawsuits? How does Title IX come into play? Will schools have to take football, men's basketball, and other revenue generating sports (i.e. women's basketball for some schools) and take them out...
