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

Why wouldn't ND just say the exact same thing to the Big10 then lol Then ND would be joining a conference that pays far more, wants them more, has a secure future, has most/all their historical rivals, etc, etc, etc. Big10 would add Stanford and Cal at same price as UO/UW, if it mean they got ND 100% in. **** they'd probably be willing to get Stanford in at that rate eventually regardless...

1. ND has a current agreement with the ACC that IF IF IF they join a conference before 2035, it would be the ACC.
2. ND wants to remain independent in football and use a "scheduling agreement" with either the ACC or Big 10 to guarantee NBC that they will have enough good games to televise.

I've mentioned these things before, keep up.

Except the main purpose of a school is not to drive football revenues. They should just break the football teams off into their own conferences/leagues and keep the other sports in conferences that make more sense. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

My brother and I went to a UM women's volleyball game on the Friday night before the F$U game. UM upset a very highly-ranked GaTech game. I have to admit, it was an amazing match and a fantastic atmosphere. Two thumbs up, ya hosers.

Seriously asking here..

Wouldn't adding 3-4 more teams make it harder to dissolve the ACC in the future, based on the number of votes needed to do it?

These new teams **** sure aren't going to vote in favor of bringing down their new home. So wouldn't it be like adding 3-4 additional "no" votes?

maybe I’m wrong but new conference members usually don’t have full voting rights

You fight with people just to fight. It's a waste of time to try to crawl inside your tiny brain to analyze how the reply relates to the original comment.

You were wrong and misguided. That's all I really care about.

So ND wants new members in, forces the ACC to stay together, keeps their leverage with the B1G. Their leverage to remain independent would disappear if the ACC did.

Not sure if anyone remembers the NASCAR "lovebug" phase, when you saw a lot of two-car pairings that would get together to aero-push each other. Througout the race, you'd see random pairings, regardless of teammates or friendships.

I kinda feel like we've drafted with Clemson, then FSU, now UNC. VaTech next?

ACC headed for a final laps of Daytona big one….
 
seriously, how soon before osu*, alabaga and jawja run the numbers and discover they can outdo their conference share if they go it alone? But it'd take a few big time programs all making the jump together and arranging schedules and tv deals together.

If you're a member you're a voting member. ND is a full voting member of the ACC and isn't even a full member for football. THEY are trying to pressure other members to vote for expansion ... and they aren't full for FB. This is the most screwed up conference ever conceived.

Yeah, if the ACC "stays together", it's business-as-usual for ND. If the ACC falls apart, they jump to another host, like in Alien...

Alabama and Georgia would need to take a couple of ****** programs with them, like Florida.

A week ago, I was hoping/looking forward to UM announcing a departure prior go the 15th. Now? I think our best case is all ACC schools stand pat, and we have a good season with high viewership to show our value. Next 6 days are important.

lol. In summation:
OP: ppl saying ND could join ACC for football if Stanford and Cal join
Me: Why would ND do that when they could do that in Big10 and get far more money doing it
You: DERP But dey have an agreement they can't possibly break free of! DERP
Me: Bless your heart
You: Why do you always pick fights with me, Don't you know I'm beyond reproach and am never wrong!?!
...
Me: Sighs and moves on knowing we'll hop right back on this carousel ride in a few hours...
