  1. I think if they were that concerned about it, they would have given Penn State one of the big football schools as a rival.
  2. I don’t necessarily disagree with your larger point, but a lot of this was because the ACC pre-FSU joining (which is when Clemson won pre-Dabo) was hot garbage. I know beating out Maryland, NC State, and Duke for the most ACC championships is pretty exciting. Then a real football team joined in FSU and they rattled off 9 straight and 12/14 ACC championships.
  3. Some cold water on this.
  4. I’m stunned. I’m pissed. It’s Notre Dame.
  5. When did South Florida join the Big 12?
  6. Because the schools get the millions from tv deals. If you give the players a cut of those millions, I’m fine with making them pay to transfer.
  7. Houston stadium is 40k and Cincinnati's stadium is 38k.
  8. The Big Ten may not have offered them a 5-6 year ramp up and instead offered no promises of ever getting a full share. It sounds like ASU's president was able to convince the ABOR that the Pac 12 is still viable as long as Oregon/Washington stays and they are going to keep the two Arizona schools there unless Oregon/Washington leave.
  9. I just looked it up and apparently Rutgers is not getting a full share until 2027 - they joined in 2014...
  10. If this is a 5-6 year thing, you obviously take it for the life-raft. If there is no guarantee of ever getting a full share, that's a much harder decision. Competing in a conference with every other team making 30 million more than you for a long period of time is rough.
  11. Not that there was much doubt…
  12. Where have you seen that? If it's anything like the Big 12 bylaws, they would need a "supermajority of disinterested directors" - which means directors that are not trying to leave the conference. https://frankthetank.org/2022/07/22/dissolution-is-not-a-solution-to-break-a-grant-of-rights-agreement/
  13. "There is no signed document, and there doesn't need to be." In retrospect, this is hilarious.
  14. Nothing really new - just some statements that suggest the SEC may not be interested in FSU and if they were interested in anyone, it would likely be UVA/UNC.
  15. With the rest of the statement: Obviously Athletics Directors are not the ones calling the shots here, but this does not exactly sound like the words of someone that is about the leave the conference. I love the last part about waiting until 2036 and then you can do whatever you want.
  16. Maybe. I just do not see what FSU has to gain by bloviating about it so much if they have an exit strategy. Maybe they are just idiots and they cannot help themselves, but repeatedly yelling about how unhappy you are sounds a lot more like someone that wants out and cannot figure out how to get out than someone that is about to leave. This sounds like a school administration trying to show its fans/stakeholders that they are doing their best to get out.
  17. The fact that FSU’s administration and regents are being so public about wanting to leave leads me to believe they do not have a viable way di leave. Every other team that has left a conference has been quiet about it before leaving, at least publicly.
  18. I believe Apple TV+ subscribers got a discount on MLS, like $80 for the season instead of $100 for non-subscribers, but you do not have to have a subscription to subscribe to MLS.
  19. This seems like nonsense to me, but if the Big Ten is willing to give FSU a full share without being able to sell/broadcast their home games for the next 13 years in order to get into the southeast, I guess it’s a win-win-win. FSU gets more money, the ACC doesn’t lose any money on broadcast rights, and ESPN gets to broadcast 4/5 Big Ten games a year.
