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

[TemplarCane]

Is the AAC interested in expanding? We could revive the old Miami-Tempie and Miami-East Carolina ‘rivalries’. FAU anyone?

#sarcasm

 

[Empirical Cane]

All it takes is one team saying "**** this!" and the ACC will be just like the PAC-12.

BREAKING NEWS:

Big10 and SEC have offered competing invite letters to Boston College.

"Blake James is the AD we need in our conference", said Mike Sankey after mainlining heroin all day...

Tip of the cap to @calinative umstudent for choosing the hill that ended up crossing the finish line first

He may not actually come back. Could be negotiating membership into the Premier League.

Speaking of European soccer... relegation would be awesome in college football. Let the SEC and Big10 be the 2 big leagues with 12 teams each, then make the Big12 and ACC feed into them with 12 teams and then other leagues feed into the Big12 and ACC, etc, etc. Have the top 2-4 teams from the lower leagues trade places with the bottom 2-4 in the league above them every year.

Never going to happen, but it would be fun.

No it won't ... not playing games against BC and Syracuse being broadcast EXCLUSIVELY on Disney + streaming service. In 4 years you will literally need to be in a B2 conference to get any national exposure and recruiting advantages will be HUGE for the P2 conferences. Miami needs to go NOW regardless of the cost in order to get a seat at the B2 table or face the fact that they will basically be a small regional team period.

100%

when the "hill you're dying on" is the high ground lol

 

[Dude]

SEC will add four more.
FSU, UNC, who are the other two?

FSU, Clemson, UVA, UNC/NCST.

 

[Dude]

FSU, Clemson, UVA, UNC/NCST.

Big10 adds Miami, GT, Pitt, UVA/UNC/Notre Dame.

Lol ACC’s only hope now is probably convincing ND to join and asking WVU, Cincy, UCF, Tulane, and Memphis to join and that’s a pretty ****** haul.

 

[Dude]

That's why the ACC is fooked. There's no one left to add worth anything.

I always thought they should have had a Big East Division, and an ACC Division
Big East: Miami, Notre Dame, Louisville, Pitt, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Boston, VT, West Virginia...
ACC: Clemson, FSU, GT, UNC, NCST, Wake, Duke, Maryland....

UCF and Cincy just got into the big 12 and begin their first season. doubt they'd bounce now

 

[Empirical Cane]

Lol

Nobody cares.

@OldhamA can you confirm?

 

[OldhamA]

@OldhamA can you confirm?

I wouldn't know, my team hasn't been in the PL for over a decade.

ND joining the ACC was a pipe dream months ago. It's downright laughable now.

Maybe they could offer ND 90% of all tv monies, first dibs on any ACC bowl spot, and nothing but home games.

Yes, that would be interesting but we all know Premier league membership in college football would be rigged.

 

[DREW!]

The FEAST agrees and has hit the panic button.

Hence the lol to begin the entire statement.

The current tuition at UM with fees but before room & board/books/etc is about $60k.

Around 500 students paying full tuition from Saudi Arabia and China for 4 years could essentially cover the entire $120 mil ACC exit fee and that's pre-litigation and paybacks.

Problem solved. I'll take a public thank you from Rad and Frenk in a halftime ceremony of our game against Minnesota in 2025.
