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

[Badbart43]

Real G's move in silence. Fools keep flapping their traps.

Ok.

So what if ACC capitulates (didnt work for Big 12 and UT) and gives FSU, Clemson, and Miami payouts that equal SEC/Big10 levels?

ACC still breaks up, that is an untenable situation.

In college, I told my fraternity brothers that I was going to break up with my girlfriend if she couldn't figure out a way to narrow the "hotness gap" between herself and Elle MacPherson.

This approach also did not bring about the desired results...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

so miami doesnt help at all with the numbers? **** this putz.

Yes, we are "the others". Just like in every comment made by every F$U administrator, employee, and interwebz writer.

When 100 different people all do the same exact thing to you in seemingly "independent" fashion, you have to realize that it's intentional. It's not your paranoia.

What were Elle MacPherson’s ***** like when you were dating her?

You dated Elle as well?

Between myself, you, and Mike Soffer, she made the rounds.

FSU just proved that we’re all stuck in this **** conference. Turn off the lights. By 2026 there’s gonna be 40 programs playing in the big leagues while FSU, Clemson and Miami play in the minor leagues.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Was this a Roth vs Sasser comment or was Sasser's implying "we dont fill stadium with ACC teams, but we would with SEC/Big10 teams..."?

We need a translator.

Does anyone here speak in FSU-esque monosylabic grunting and gesticulating?

 

[TheOriginalCane]

it sounds like FSU was hoping another school was dumb enough to go public with them and create the plan for them. it sounds like we have a plan but we aren't idiots like FSU to maybe get everything in order first.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I didn’t expect FSU in panic mode tbh

It's their default mode.

I would like to see some "objective" media brand values for college football/universities.

Your mileage may vary.

nope, we are all leaving, they have found a way out of the GOR

 

[CreativeCane]

Stone cold facts.

Remind me, again, which school is acting cool-as-a-cucumber...

Pretty much every school except FSU. They're the only ones talking. Everyone else's name is just thrown up in a rumor.

[MPCane17]

The funniest thing that could happen at this point is an “out of nowhere” announcement from Rad and Frenk that we are leaving and FSU’s PR word vomit and nonsense leaves them nothing

 

[Cane6]

It's their default mode.

I’m starting to wonder if FSU operating so publicly has a negative impact with bigten negotiations.

Either they’ve got a master plan that they’re orchestrating like 4D chess

Or they’re looking desperate or at worst disorganized

 

[Bizzyrg]

What difference does it make, I'm a fake insider anyhow.

With all my UM degrees and friends and contacts, I'm just making things up. I really don't have any information.

Right?

I haven’t seen you make a “strong” statement and be wrong. Just trying to figure out which one that was. Now I know.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Alright, if anyone wants an educated guess as to what is really happening here...

Clearly, the ACC has some "undertainty" about the timing, cost, and/or likelihood of escaping the GOR.

I believe that EARLIER, one or more potential defectees were hopeful that someone would pay (or subsidize) their bar tab, and that they wouldn't have to pay the bill in full.

But when a couple of drunk butterfaces showed up at last call and offered half-price BJs (Washington/Oregon), I think the money available for GOR buyouts disappeared as if Thanos snapped his fingers.

And now a couple of ACC schools are hesitant to put their money where their mouths were, though F$U is a particularly beliigerent *****.

UM is keeping its powder dry. I'm not saying we WANT to pay a lot of money to get out of the GOR, but we don't have to answer to any state politicians either.

I've said it before, and I while I WOULD LIKE TO NEGOTIATE A SETTLEMENT, we need to challenge the original GOR and/or the extension as unenforceable.
