I haven’t been following but I understand that FSU filed a suit or was going to in Florida and I recall the ACC filing first in NC bc FSU couldn’t move intelligently in silence. Has it all been consolidated with venue in NC?
Feels like this is all the teams not in the SEC/B1G.
Feel like this is UM as it relates to SEC/B1G bringing us in
Re read my comment ... ."then add in the rest of the B10". There are millions of Florida residents that have located from B10 country and are rabid college football fans. Walk into any sports bar in Naples on Saturday and you're going to see Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State all over the place. At my local sports bar in DeLand the upscale clientele is wearing B10 gear and the rusty pickup crowd has the FSU gear on. Places like Margaritaville in Daytona Beach ... 3800 homes that didn't exist 4 years ago ... close to 10,000 people living there ... virtually 100% from B10 country.
Somebody has to be the bus boys, bell hops, and landscapers for the Michigan alumni.
Not sure how "silent" they could have been with the Sunshine Laws. They may have made some noise, but they also engaged an excellent law firm and have done some excellent background work / discovery in their travels to the ACC HQ and have put some serious charges on paper and in the legal system that genuinely indicate that the GOR term is not legal or binding and the exit fee is punitive and should be modified. In addition, they have found evidence of gross financial mismanagement (possibly even fraud??), and conflicts of interest on the part of Swofford who basically SKIMMED $82 million dollars a year off the top of ACC media payments in order to get Raycom BACK INTO the media deal in 2010. That alone has cost ACC members in excess of $1Billion dollars in lost revenue since 2010. They also, reportedly, "have other issues" to present. So again, they may have made noise, but they very well might have laid the foundation for us all to get out with financial penalties of just a fraction of what had been projected just a few months ago.
Ok. Some good things in there.
Seems like the tracks are being built and the train is about to leave the station
FAU didn't have any freshman or sophomore level classes at one point. People went from Palm Beach
keep on going emperor palpaginaMiami, Stanford, and Cal will be the crown jewel academic schools of the ACC/Big12/PAC12 merger, which will he called the BAC - The Big Academics Conference. Shalala's dream will come true and UM will be mentioned in the same breath as Stanford.
And UM fans will floored when it turns out that Frenk is actually a failed attempt at cloning Shalala, but he was weak and without all her powers. The real Shalala has been hiding in Havana, orchestrating this the whole time. Who do you think brought Stanford and Cal, schools that barely have a football program, across the country to join the ACC? Who tipped FSU off about the ACC's self dealing so that FSU and Clemson will leave and force the acc to look for alliances?
Sorry, not sure I misread your comment as the first sentence was "There are probably more Michigan alums / fans living in Naples / Tampa / Jacksonville / Daytona Beach than there are current FSU alums / fans in the State of Florida.", but okay.
