... per ESPN Sources: ACC votes to invite Stanford, Cal, SMU
I'm not arguing that this would be any sort of financial bonanza for the Big-12. It wouldn't have been for the ACC to take Cal and Stanford...
I actually think college football has significantly more competition for viewership. You've got the NFL (granted there's intentionally minimal...
Do you really seriously think smaller conferences would boycott and lose all the MM revenue? And if they did, do you really think the SEC and...
This would be funny and clearly put the ACC in the Big-12's rear view mirror. I could see it happening and it probably makes more sense...
I don't disagree but at this point it's what else can any of these parties do? The ACC has to do something and for Cal and Stanford, MWC or going...
I believe they are negotiating much lower payouts with all 3 teams. I believe I read SMU is offering to take ZERO money for 8 years! Presumedly...
Because they've been passed over by the Big-12 and are now arguably the #4 conference. The Big-10, SEC and Big-12 have all gotten stronger while...
Florida at Utah (-6.5) for 100 LSU (-2.5) vs. Florida State (Orlando) for 50 I edited my pick. :)
I have little doubt the ACC could and probably should take Cal and Stanford (and maybe even SMU), but I'm not really sure how anyone thinks those...
I have no idea if this is completely made up for attention, but I kind of doubt it. He can put whatever kind of disclaimer, but if it's completely...
Interesting that, if this is true, they're paying kids just to consider them. From the way this was laid out he isn't committed to FSU and he's...
Very interesting articles. I was NEVER a fan of Grantham. I didn't like him when he was at UGA (the choke) and I didn't like him at any point when...
I don't think there would be any problem with a recruit going to the away game, but there might be an issue if they were allowed in the locker...
Part of is is that I think the ACC as a whole is expected to be somewhat weak. The only 3 ranked teams are #8 FSU, #9 Clemson and #21 UNC ... and...
The current structure is probably all they have. I don't think the networks, especially ESPN, are in a financial position to offer more per school...
I guess they chose to shut up! ;)
At some level, but USC didn't want Oregon to be added. It was done because it was a good economic deal. But the Big-10 wouldn't have added them if...
I think this is exactly right. The thing now is that the Big-10 and SEC are only going to add programs that will earn the conference an ADDITIONAL...
I think the even bigger mistake was the Pac-12's self valuation versus reality. There has been a real arrogance by the Pac-12 for years about it's...
