  1. This sounds like a terrible deal for most of the remaining ACC members. Because about eight of them would be financially better off in the XII. And though increasing the XII to XIV would seem unwieldy it would be an opportunity to kill off a conference and to relegate some bad performers. Now we all know that UNC & Virginia keep floating B1G rumors, I don't think the B1G is ready to expand even more. The BigXII would gladly expand further, its not like they'd be messing up some comfortable consistency. There are only 6 original BigXII members left. So the Big12 should go after these schools: UNC, VIRG, VTECH, PITT, NCST, MIAMI, LOUIS. The eighth school would be one of these: Cuse, GTech or Duke. Hard pass on WAKE, BC, CAL, STAN and SMU. There's no reason for the eight schools who could go to the BIGXII to get locked in to a bad deal that doesn't expire for 12 years. They should get into a deal that is monetarily better and expires in 2031. Thus if you're UNC & UV, Your B1G dream could come true in seven years.
  2. So I used this paradigm to sort through and relegate some of 77 schools in the unwieldy everybody gets stay conference proposal. There are 22 States that have multiple teams. Some of those need to be dropped, not only do they not deliver TV viewers, but because of local regional population, they never be able to deliver the eyeballs. Here are the 22 states with multiple teams and who I would preserve. 1. Oregon (2). Drop OSt 2. Washington(2). Drop Wazzou 3. Cali (4) Keeps them all, I know CalStan have been under performing for years, I just keep thinking they'll wake up. 4. Arizona (2). Both teams stay 5. Utah (2) is indeed a low pop state, but both schools deliver good home attendance as well as decent to good TV numbers. Plus their rivalry delivers on a national scale. 6. Kansas (2) Population doesn't deserve two teams. Since football drives the money. Kansas has to go. 7. Iowa (2). Neither school has terrible numbers. ISU has one of the most loyal fanbases anywhere. Their attendance is good whether they suck or not. Both teams stay. 8. Oklahoma (2). Smaller pop state but of course OU stays, but so does OSt, they have the best numbers of the New16. 9. Texas (7) Yes, I said SEVEN schools. That is stupid. It needs to be Four like Cali. Bye Bye BU, UH & SMU. This somehow leaves us with TCU. But they perform better than, BU, UH & SMU. 10. Michigan(2) keep both schools. 11. Illinois (2) Illinois stays, see ya to NorthWestern. Illinois numbers aren't great, but the state population is good. 12. Indiana (3), Keeps ND, loses Purdue & Indiana 13. OHIO (2). No more Bearcats. 14. Kentucky (2). UK numbers are doing well enough to stay and so does Louisville. 15. Mississippi(2) Not big enough for two teams. Farewell, Miss St. 16. Georgia (2) Georgia Tech just doesn't move the needle. To bad, I kind of always liked them. 17. South Carolina (2) keeps both schools. 18. North Carolina (4). The ninth most populous state somehow has four teams in the 77. Only UNC & NCST can stay. No more Duke or Wake 19. Tennessee (2). Vandy should in no way get to stay. 20. Pennsylvania (2). Both schools stay. Pitt is marginal in some books, but they do as well as anybody else in the bottom half 21. Florida (4). Third most populous state deserves four but UCF is on the cusp of not making it. 22. Alabama (2) Both schools stay. There are 11 states with one team. These states keep their representation 1. Minnesota 2. Wisconsin 3. West Virginia 4. Missouri 5. Colorado 6. Nebraska 7. Arkansas 8. Louisiana. 9. New York. These two state and their markets get relegated. 10. New Jersey 11. Maryland. That is a total 50 teams. This strategy reduces fat while retaining most of the states viewers. If you want to cut to 48 you'd drop TCU & UCF, then have 4 12 team conferences.
  3. Exactly my thoughts when I saw this proposal. All the schools that should be relegated are getting together to try and make it look like its sensible to include everybody. I do think WVU is safe but maybe not Cuse.
  4. University of Arizona President Robert Robbins will resign when his contract expires in 2026. "Robbins decision comes less than a year after the university discovered an accounting modeling error created a $241 million deficit in the university budget. Athletics have taken center stage in the scandal. The school gave the athletic department a $55million loan to survive the pandemic." The athletic department has ZERO chance of ever repaying that loan. Recently fired AD Dave Heeke was accused of "financial and operational mismanagement." Heeke and Robbins were so sure that the new media rights deal would be $50mill a year that they had already started spending the windfall.
  5. It couldn't have worked out better for Tech, TCU, OkLite and Kansas. Rough Timeline 1. July 2021 UT & OU announce their move to the SEC. 2. The "Left Behind" are in full panic mode. Calls made to the PAC12 offices are pretty much ignored. 3. Sept 2021 BYU. Cincy, UCF & UH get a conference invite. This somehow stabilizes the BIG12. 4. In May of 2022 the PAC12 Executive Board sends an email to all the member schools boasting that the new media rights deal is going to be $50,000,000+ a year. (BTW several of the schools started spending the money that they thought they were going to get. That's why the UA AD was recently fired.) 5. June 2022, USC & UCLA announce that they are leaving for the B1G. (This is where the SHTF) 6. Then the Comcast overcharge scandal hits. Each PAC12 school owes Comcast $4mill. 7. It is revealed that the PAC12 network office space and studio in San Francisco had cost $90mill during its first 12 years. This coupled with the fact Larry Scott and then Klownkoff were the President of the PAC12 Network and received a separate extra multi million dollar salary for running the network, left the network with only $13,000,000 a year to distribute to its 12 members. 8. Sept 2022. The PACX turns down a media right deal of about $35mill a year. They were sure they were still worth $50mill a year, even without USC & UCLA 9. Oct 2022. The BIGXII Finalizes its media rights deal for about $31mill a year. 10. The PACX is doomed, there aren't any suitors left and no time slots available. All they can get are streaming offers. So when considering that the PAC12 was going to lose USC & UCLA. The PAC12 Network was a fraud. Klownkoff and the PACX executive committee way overestimated their conferences value and then the Comcast scam. The Big12 schools that weren't good enough for the PAC12, totally and completely dodged a bullet.
  6. Fuck Notre Dame
  7. So if the B1G takes UNC & Virg. And the SEC takes FSU & Clemson. Then the Big12 cherry picks the ACC. So here's a first look at the final three conferences.
  8. Bobby Knight thought real highly of Rick. Tech was playing UT the night RMK got his 1,000 win. Tech had Bobby sign the stat sheet to put in their archives. RMK did indeed sign it, he knew it had some intrinsic value. And he gave it to Rick out of respect.
  9. Should have Super Bowl MVP on his resume. So what that Cooper Cup had some good catches late.
  10. Kids play a game called, "THE GAME". The point of The Game is to see how long you can go without thinking of The Game. So some of you reading this know what I'm talking about and I just ruined The Game for you. While watching the VY highlights posted above I just lost a game I play called, "Fuck Jeff Fisher".
  11. Wisconsin is one of the states where college and pros get good traction. You have the Bucks & the Packers. Then the Badgers and believe it or not Marquette's home attendance averages 15,000. And they play their home games in the same arena as the Bucks. Houston is weird as well, They be crazy for CFB as long as its not Houston.
  12. UCONN is just one retirement and bad hire away from being irrelevant in basketball. But lets say they keep their basketball programs in the top ten. Then there is only one reason for the Big12 or ACC to consider adding UCONN and that is ESPN headquarters are just 45 miles away from the UCONN campus. UCONN gets really favorable press from ESPN. We all know how there is generally a north east media bias. And UCONN benefits the most from that. Of course we currently see that the get ZERO coverage of their football team. But that would certainly change if your home schedule changed from Sacred Heart, UMass, James Madison, Rice, Georgia St, FIU & Ball St to basically any mix of BIG 12 or ACC schools.
  13. If its any consolation, Baker Mayfield's family stole $12,000,000 from him. https://sports.yahoo.com/baker-mayfield-court-petition-12-million-father-company-145313558.html
  14. The dumbest part of these critiques is that they were NOT based on observation. 1.0PM was never had bad accuracy. Idiots thought he was inaccurate because the conventional belief was, "Since his feet aren't usually set, then the pass in going to be off target". The fact is, it doesn't matter how his feet are positioned he throws the ball on target. Nobody ever downgrades a shortstop for not planting his feet after digging out a ground ball and throwing to first, the only thing that matters is did the ball get to the right place at the right time. 2. He also didn't bail early from the pocket early while at Tech, there was never a pocket for him to bail from. 3. "his lack of field vision", What the heck? No way they ever watched any of his film and thought he had bad field vision.
  15. Mahomes knew his best NFL route to greatness was with Reid. He's basically said that he sandbagged workouts with teams with top ten picks, particularly with Da Bears.
  16. Kansas City has made it clear that IF the 49ers had scored a TD then KC of course would have to match the TD and that they would have gone for two. The analytics on that decision are simple. You have a better chance of getting the two point conversion than you have keeping SF out of field goal range. Would have been fantastically compelling to see KC go for two with everything on the line.
  17. He started game 16 of his rookie year and looked amazing. All the KC fans and especially the KC press core knew they had something special. In the post game press conference the first question was something like, "What did you think of Patrick Mahomes amazing performance?" Reid replied, "He ruined a lot of good plays tonight." It is my contention that the main growth by PM is his first priority is to run the play as it is called, Execute first, improvise second. 1. Reid was willing to tell PM, "You ruined a lot of good plays tonight." 2. PM is extremely coachable. 3. The main bad habit PM learned at Tech was while at Tech from the moment the ball was snapped he was running for his life. The line was absolutely terrible. So he'd take the snap, run for his life, then throw the ball. The play call didn't really matter, his first objective was to run for his life. It took about 4 seasons for him to abandon this habit.
  18. UA Just let their AD go. 1. He Had an opportunity to lock up their head FB coach or at least put a big buyout on his contract, but he didn't. 2. The athletic department had to borrow fifty million dollars from the university during covid. The athletic department doesn't really have the means to ever pay this back. Arizona like most universities has a loss in enrollment and could really use that fifty million dollars now. 3. The AD was Part of the PAC12 executive committee that A. Turned down 35mill a year media rights offer claiming that they were worth 50mill a year. B. Was A loud voice in the "everything is fine nothing to see here" final days of the PAC12. C. Allowed or didn't notice that the PAC12 office was feeding inflated data to Comcast. D. Didn't have tight enough control over the underperforming PAC12 network. This allowed Larry Scott ro run up huge expenses on Bay Area rental space and then outrageous expenses to move the network offices to a cheaper place. https://www.azdesertswarm.com/2024/1/22/24047465/arizona-wildcats-athletic-director-dave-heeke-mike-candrea-interim-robert-ribbuns-budget-2024
  19. If I could tell Jerry Jones one thing it would be this. "The whole world is laughing at you".
  20. Cowboys were totally outcoached. In every way. For 60 minutes. Jones has complete control over every aspect of the team. He demands absolute control so he gets 💯% of the credit when they win a Super Bowl. It has grinded his gears for 28 years that Johnson gets the bulk of the credit for the early 90's success.
  21. Actual picture of the accusers father testifying on court.
