Yeah, they announced it yesterday. My buddy mentioned the Frenk interview and he mentioned the guy from British Columbia. This was on Saturday morning

"Patrick Zier" is just a pseudonym that Mike Bianchi uses to share his hot garbage with the world.

Interesting read. Funny how the ACC had the largest yearly payout of any conference when we joined.

The only thing missing as the article slightly handled the Big East with kid gloves was that conference's complete lack of foresight in the prism of football vs basketball and future revenue streams/relevance. In the 80's they basically had Pedo State begging to join and that conference repeatedly rebuffed them based solely upon their mediocre hoops program.

Keep seeing a whole lot of Rad agreed to the GOR...

Pretty sure it was the university presidents responsible for this one moreso than the ADs

 

[Silver King]

The ACC has been to Miami like what the Doldrums are to a Sailing Ship

 

[Nickkcin]

That zier guy is an idiot, Miami gives Big a southern market, SEC takes Miami and basically owns the Florida market

Don't know who does the ACC morning show on Sirius, but they basically said that the ACC should become that the only way to combat all this realignment is the ACC becomes the premier bball conference.

Then in the same breath "It will barely keep the lights on in terms of revenue..." Swafford torpedoed the entire conference for the sake of bball and the Carolina schools trying to make it like the 80's again. He let ESPN negotiate a contract that several pundits have said is one of the worst tv contracts to ever be handed out regardless of sports and era. ESPN is pushing for the ACC to be their Carolina bball conference for their own benefit.
