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

Advertisement
Like many others, I'm strongly in favor of Miami getting out of the ACC and against add the new teams.

This bit of info from online article that could provide wiggle room to get out of the Grant of Rights has me intrigued.

"The additions to the ACC also provide the conference wiggle room to potentially renegotiate its ironclad media rights contract with ESPN, which is set to expire in 2036, reports the Action Network's Brett McMurphy. The conference will be allowed to renegotiate its deal if the league shrinks to 15 members, which is possible in the wake of rumblings in the spring of seven schools exploring departures. Florida State has been the most vocal, and its board of trustees in July asked its university president to provide an exit strategy within 12 months."
 
These are some straight up poverty takes to the conference.

Cal's athletic department hasn't operated in the black since the 70s.

Misleading? Tampa Market is 12th and Miami 18th? Something missing here, like maybe Broward and Palm Beach?

I never said you were misleading, just pointing out that Miami is the 18th largest TV market. That’s good but hardly elite and something a conference must have. Lastly, Tampa and Miami are far apart and different areas. That’s like me saying Chicago and Detroit are basically one market. Anyway, we are on the same side here and want Miami out of the ACC.

I'm not going back over 641 pages of this thread to understand everything involved. All I can say is that whoever approved obligating Miami through 2036 deserves to be blackballed from ever working again anywhere and shunned like Cersei in Game of Thrones. "Shame, shame, shame". We should be playing in the BiG not propping up a Tier 2 conference.

I really like and respect Genetics, but this is where he goes wrong.

He is SUCH a Big 10 homer that he is blind to the fact that Clemson and F$U would prefer to be in the SEC. He just doesn't comprehend that. He is so invested in the Big 10 being a massive coast-to-coast behemoth that he can't realize why two schools whose IN-STATE RIVALS are in the SEC...would actually see the SEC as a co-equal choice, let alone superior, to the Big 10.

Ultimately, this is about who moves first. If the SEC takes Clemson, F$U, and UNC tomorrow, their SMARTEST Team #4 is Miami. NOT because Miami is sooooo wonderful and perfect and ideal, but because it would be a defensive move against the Big 10 which would largely shut them out of Florida.

And anyone putting UVa and Duke and others ahead of Miami FOR CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT CONSIDERATIONS is just selling you a bunch of hot air.
