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

[Felonious Monk]

Jenn Strawley is now at Elon University ... left Miami in 2023. These decisions are Rudy Fernandez / Board of Trustees, with input from the AD.

So not Blake James either, I suppose.

 

[Felonious Monk]

We were talking about this yesterday. She’s open to coming back.

I don't put much stock in pillow talk, but it's hard to have a hero without a villain.

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

No idea ... but she is media savvy, an entrepreneur, a media attorney, double UM alum, with 3 kids that are UM alums. You would think that she would definitely have a plan.

And dare I say it-looks pretty darn good.........

yall making it sound like its a tv show lol. maybe UM isnt in position to make a buyout plan and actually doesnt have a home.

You need to alert the Maude’s if there’s an issue. We don’t see everything.

Some of the calls were coming from inside the house (Maude’s involved in the issue lol)

Thank you for your service!

Focus on the word "plan". The P2 is interested in expanding. They now run college football and every major decision associated with it. It would make it much easier for the P2 to absorb 6 or more ACC programs IF THE CONFERENCE DISSOLVED. There would then be no $120M exit fees, no GOR/media buyback. The P2 could easily absorb 6 programs ... maybe even 8. Then 2-4 to the B12. Wake and BC go to whatever regional conference will take them ... and it is over. Play the 2024 season as scheduled, maybe even 2025, but by 2026 the ACC no longer exists. That is an option / scenario that could materialize.

Might this explain why the SEC just took their 2024 schedule and flipped home and away? Maybe they expect to have to make serious changes to the 2025 schedule so this is a placeholder?

Can we stop with the Rad this Rad that. This conversation at UM happens with him but mostly above him.

So…. His initial hire was celebrated partially due to his ability to navigate this important situation…

So now, he was basically another Miami guy hire, but this one just getting a retirement gig…

Jesus…

And it’s on topic because it shows another example of institutional ineptness…

So she’s Female John Ruiz

 

[Yoyo82]

Her term is through the 2024 calendar year ... critical time. You have to believe a lot of key decisions are being made right now.

I thought it ended may 31st? Granted I assumed that since her term started on 6/1.

Also apparently the next chair is already appointed.

Fox must REALLY be hurting for content. I could see Fox Sports, but the main Fox network? Oof.

Ohio State spring game: literally a national broadcast on a premier network.

Miami spring game: pirated flip phone recording from a guy who gets kicked out after the second team offense scores on a flea flicker, brought to you by Jefferson Pilot.

Actually, I think it’s completely the opposite. It’s way better to have one of the biggest brands in football occupying two or three hours. You get to hype everybody up for the upcoming season then some random second tier programming you already have. I’m surprised somebody hasn’t done the sooner.

You spelled that wrong, it's, "Jeff Erson, pilot."

Do we know her real net worth?

Be interesting to see each BoT member's contribution to our NIL/Canes Connection pot. .

A live look at "The Rad Method". Just pick an Upcountry Souf Cackalacky golf course and add 3 red faced Clempson boosters just off camera.
