Yeah I'm assuming this is the dream scenario for Dan, Rudy, and others.

Sit back and let the conference fall apart without really having to lift a finger while having conversations behind the scenes with B1G or SEC. Once the conference collapses then you make your move.

In hindsight, it may be a masterclass on how to upgrade conferences without having to do sh**.

But why does he have to publicly support the ACC in this and hype up our sh*tty conference? A "no comment" or "we're just waiting to see what happens" would be a much better approach.

He should have just said what he did before. We are proud members in good standing of the acc and continue to be so. The end.

It doesn’t matter in the end but the public optics suck even if in just feeding fsu trolls or this board and I bet he will be getting a lot of high level booster calls today.

It is a good way on the other hand to not have a lawsuit coming at you like clemson just got that mentions hurting the league by its comments and actions

That's a rational take and we can't have that on this godforsaken board. I wouldn't be shocked if Miami is intentionally keeping their mouths shut, because there is already a way out, they just need someone else to do the heavy lifting. One thing I've learned from my career, if you have what you want in your back pocket, it's a lot easier to negotiate, and honestly, you aren't going to be nearly as loud and abrasive in the process.

agreed...let CLemson and the Noles bear the brunt of "killing" the ACC...I still hear people complain that Miami "killed" the Big East
 
The opener against UF is huge and this is the season we need to start beating FSU again. ACC Championship win is a necessity. Was listening to Josh Pate and he is hinting that it is highly likely that ESPN will not choose to extend (whether that extension option is even legal today is another issue), and the ACC will be in a complete free fall ... with ESPN moving 4 or more to the SEC while a few head to the B10. I just wish that Radacovitch was more "neutral" in his public comments than strongly supportive of the ACC, which has shown to be a trash conference that has been operated with little or no regard for the member schools.

UM AD Dan Radakovich: We are Incredibly Solid with the ACC

There has been a lot of noise in the ACC from FSU who decided to try and sue their way out of the conference. Now Clemson has decided to jump in on the lawsuit as well. University of Miami Athletic Director Dan Radakovich joined The Joe Rose Show

Also, his entire perception of what’s happening is based on optics and optics alone. Go back and look at his tweets. Prior to the Clemson suit he was talking about how he hadn’t heard anything about Clemson in awhile and things had even potentially cooled with them. Now they’ve definitely got an offer because they filed suit. Again, all optics.

A 1 year winning season will not change the optics of the Miami football program. Recent history is not on our side.

Is Rad defending the ACC a smokescreen or does he truly believe the ACC is a viable option? Remember, he was at Clemson for 10 years and knows what it looks like. It may very well be that he sees the writing on the wall that Miami’s options are limited and will be dictated by the networks and the SEC and B1G.

Disagree ... an ACC Conference championship WILL DEMONSTRATE that the investment UM is making in the program, finally, has been effective. The foundation will be shown to actually exist.

Many hope this is the case. Just because Rad is currently being a good ACC soldier doesn’t mean he’s not paying attention to the big picture - at least we hope he is. Because of Miami’s place in the pecking order, taking a conservative approach may gain some good will due to not ****ing off the powers that be - the networks and the SEC and B1G - with lawsuits and publicity airing dirty laundry.

Look how U-Dub and Oregon handled their situation for those 13 months between USC and UCLA announcing they were leaving for the B1G and the Huskies and Ducks doing the same.

Lay low and do few interviews — and on those occasions express loyalty to and belief in the Pac-12. Substitute ACC for Pac-12 and we've got DanRad's game plan.

Let FSU and Clemson do what they need to do to get to the SEC.

We're gonna do what we need to do to get to the B1G
