@Rekkapryde well, well, well…look at what we got here. All that tough talking and tongue wrasslin. The ACC need to shoot out that Thanos meme, “You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you?Back to me.” They’ll try again next year while preventing the conference from adding more teams which, would help them gtfo. But what do we know

They ain't going nowhere...

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Fixed.

When the ESPN deal runs out, maybe

I can see the schools who don't get picked up in 2036 by the SEC, B12, or Big Ten keeping the conference alive.

Funny, we don't know how the TV landscape will look in a decade. Revenue might have peaked.

As a Florida State fan, where would you prefer they go? B1G? SEC? Big 12?

Culturally more of an SEC fit obviously, idk how that voting works but id imagine UF would do everything in their power to blockage (A&M couldn’t stop UT tho)

I want FSU & Clemson, Miami or UNC in the big ten. Florida is too big of a State to not have a presence if a major school like FSU is an option. B1G would help get fsu the AAU status too.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Been predicting this all along

If they do this and freeze out Notre Dame, all their rivals except navy will be in the B1G. The B1G and NBC should make them bow down...

The ACC is a dead.. what is adding teams nobody wants gonna do? lol

How is it dead? Refusing to expand is what’s ultimately gonna end (and it’s close to being in life support) it but entertain me.

ESPN has a SWEET deal money wise with this ACC contract locked in for another decade plus for programming.

They 100% are not in favor of the conference breaking apart. Especially for some schools to goto the SEC (which they already have a contract with). Why negotiate against yourself?

If many of the existing ACC schools had potential Big 10 invites (from ESPN competitor Fox), then we are talking. But that's not happening so they are STUCK.

1) not a fan
2) idk the priorities of the new school president but the previous was big on academics and was hellbent on making it a T10/20 ranked public school which he did. What burns them is having USF selected over them for AAU membership which is a big deal for B10 schools. They may drop it to add them considering Nebraska lost its AAU status not long after joining the B10.
3) As far as schools that the B10 should grab, if it were me, FSU, UNC, maybe Clemson and Ga Tech

Ghat Damn it




At some point ND is gon have to choose up, the acc deal gave them a life line with decent opponents at their disposal, staying in the acc not the move they think and that tv deal ain’t gon hit like that

What's nut is they would actually make MORE than they are right now if they joined the ACC fully. ND next TV contract is gonna be key. If they do join the Big 10, that would easily make them the more premier football conference nationwide.

@Rigby. wtf happened w/ Bidunga?

KU’s NIL that strong? Is h from an Adidas AAU team or something?

Still a better choice than scUM, but KU always seems to do less with more.

I was thinking about that yesterday. Besides Fox and ESPN, who’s doling out big money for CFB? None of them are ready to go full streaming and I think Apple’s proposal to the PAC12 will be the model for future negotiations since everyone has been 86d and there’s no competition. By eliminating the comp, I feel they’ve kinda fukked themselves long term

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I don’t believe it

Very true. When is the SEC contract w/ espn end? They’ll be looking to exceed what the big ten is getting.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

I’m questioning that #3 ranking with them not even knowing who QB1 is…

ND might could steal that game in south bend.

Why are y’all still on this ND needs to join a conference stuff? The way the 12 team playoff is setup pretty much guarantees they won’t cause there’s no incentive for them to. The ACC deal just gave them a place to stash their non revenue & Olympic sports. Their new TV deal is expected to net them anywhere from $45 to $60MM. Joining any conference is hustling backwards for them

 

[RammerJammer]

I don’t believe it

So now all of a sudden Alabama, Ohio State, UGA’s QBs stink?

Yeah I think a lot of this is coach speak lol
