I don't think college football will become a club sport. My complete guess is that at some point, the SEC and Big-10 may team with the NFL to...
I'm not a lawyer and I won't pretend to be, but I don't think Clemson could join FSU in a lawsuit filed in Florida. I would think any form of...
Maybe, but I read it as maybe something else. He technically sided with the ACC with the motion to dismiss the case. What I read from the article...
If we can't beat out UCF for a recruit ...
Interesting twist. Tallahassee Judge John C. Cooper orders FSU and ACC to enter mediation, but technically approved the ACC's motion to dismiss...
I think we're largely on the same page on this. Don't forget SECN, which will carry 3 SEC games each week. But ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU actually...
Coleg: I'm not arguing your point regarding viewership, but I think the issue here isn't how FSU and Clemson compare to the current SEC/Big-10...
This is exactly the point I've been trying to make in other posts. ESPN has all of it's available time slots filled. There is no more inventory to...
This is not directed at oragator1 for posting this, but I just don't see how this makes sense. 1 - First of all, I don't think ESPN/ABC has money...
I was on the field for that as well. They tried to turn on the sprinklers and our cheerleaders put their megaphones over the sprinkler heads. They...
Sure they'll fight, but they have little to no leverage. Those schools you're talking about don't determine who's in the NCAA Tournament. The NCAA...
Here's the problem with your argument. Schools like Duke, Kansas and Arizona don't determine who's invited to play in March Madness, the NCAA...
Those rankings are kind of a joke but it's at least a decent attempt to quantify something very nebulous. I've stated in other posts that I...
Big national rivalries have ALWAYS driven national college football viewership. Yes, the environment has changed once again. Once upon a time,...
Generally, I agree with your post except for this point. I don't think the ACC, as a conference, ever did anything to try to "keep an easier...
I'm not sure, but I don't believe schools can use their media revenues to pay players. I think all of that revenue needs to come from outside. I...
Close. I believe the issue was that if the ACC went below a certain number of members (I believe it was below 9), that ABC/ESPN had the right to...
I think the key here is to see what the ESPN/Fox/Warner deal does. If somebody like ESPN can consolidate all the major sports into a SINGLE...
It's possible. Nobody knows for sure what will happen. But Texas, just a few years ago, was easily the top revenue generating program in the...
The AVERAGE value of the SEC and Big-10 schools was about $60M when the TV deals were maid. I agree they probably really aren't worth that now. I...
