MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

[CaneinBroward]

Watching all these cash grabs and tradition be damned, how long until the fat in the SEC and Big 10 is trimmed off to make room for marquis brands from other conferences? Vandy, Northwestern, Purdue, South Carolina, etc. Since it is all about maximizing the TV contract, when does someone get the idea of axing these schools that take more than they provide to the conference?

It wasn't so much Miami that he was defending it was "Mario Cristobal who is highly regarded in the State of Alabama and would be a likely successor to Nick Saban".

It definitely sounds like Paul thinks that is coming. He knows Kirby not leaving Georgia. And he hates Dabo so won’t acknowledge him as a possible successor to Saban. Alabama will be interested in Mario if he does well at Miami. But, if he does well at Miami, I really don’t think Mario would leave Miami for Alabama. This is one reason I feel like Mario was the “more right” hire for Miami than Kiffin. To me, I wanted either Mario or Kiffin. Glad we got Mario (although I would have been happy getting Kiffin but would have worried more that he would leave if he had success).

I would think(or hope) that Mario knows how much success his predecessors had and then left. I dont know why, maybe old age setting in but I believe Mario will do what the previous successful, title winning coaches at Miami didnt: win multiple titles and retire at Miami or at least pass the mantle to the next Mario. We will see.

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

I’m in the minority but GOR isn’t the dealbreaker people think it is, we will leave if numbers make sense. I’d bet my wheelchair on it.

I like how this guy rolls.

Unless pro ball comes calling. It was too tempting for Schnelly, JJ, Erickson, and Butch. If Mario has the same level of success, it may call him as well.

That jackass doesn't know what he's talking about.

Ugly *** jacket, too.

Mad Dog is a baseball guy.

 

[AZHurricane]

Why this mad dog dude so butt hurt? He went to ND?

“Mad dog” is Mike Francesca’s old partner. Francesca is the original Canes hater. Re-watch the ‘91 Cotton Bowl for a refresher.

0 chance Mad Dog has watched a College Football game in the past 20 years. Dude has always made me laugh though. Wouldn’t take anything he says seriously. He’s made a career of screaming into a microphone long before guys like Skip Bayless even existed lol.

Francesa makes Mohamed Ali seem modest.

Pitcher or catcher?

ESPN just spent millions in creating and staffing the network. they're not just gonna give up on it right now

Busineses operate by trying to forecast the future and hedging their bets. They built up the ACCN because they thought things would remain teh same for a few years...then USC and UCLA moved. Changed the parameters.

Texas and OU changed everything.

He also talks a lot of Tennis.

 

[Robbymoto]

Yep. Five minutes after it was announced I posted the acc is a dying ***** and we must get out. There will be no long term future in that conference.

 

[Macca]

Does he really? I don’t listen to him, I just know his main focus is baseball. I had no idea he was into tennis. Much appreciated bud.

When I do here snippets or he is doing a spot up here with local radio I find him to be pretty funny.

 

[TooColdToHold]

Yeah, and he goes deep into tennis at times. He can tell you who won major tournaments in the 50's.
