Well with paying exit fees and poaching fees, they probably won't have a cache either!
-
Well Stanford is the reason Texas and probably Colorado didn't join the Pac in 1990.

Boise has had far more success than any G school and is a better TV draw. Yet they really didn't get serious consideration either time. And they weren't taken seriously because of academics.

Well even with SMU buying the way in for the 3 of them, it was only their academics that got them included in that deal. It matters on the margins. its one of the reasons Boise never got serious Big 12 consideration.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44093338/sources-fsu-clemson-expected-reach-settlement-acc FSU/Clemson/ACC settlement near. "The ACC board of directors is scheduled to hold a call Tuesday to go over the settlement terms. In addition, Florida State has called a board meeting to present the terms at noon ET Tuesday, and Clemson plans to do the same. All three boards must agree to the settlement for it to move forward, but sources throughout the league expect a deal to be reached. According to sources, the settlement includes two key objectives: establishing a new revenue-distribution model based on viewership and a change in the financial penalties for exiting the league's grant of rights before its conclusion in June 2036.... Although the settlement will not make substantive changes to the grant of rights, it is expected that there will be declining financial penalties for schools that exit before 2036, with the steepest decreases coming after 2030 -- something that would apply to any ACC school, not just Clemson and Florida State. The specific financial figures for schools to get released from the grant of rights were not readily available. But the total cost to exit the league after the 2029-30 season is expected to drop below $100 million, sources said...."

If its like IMG and taking over conference tournaments (basketball, baseball, softball, tennis, etc.), I can see it. I can't see it being a good thing beyond that.

https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-acc-in-process-of-extending-tv-contract-with-espn-for-9-more-years-141308428.html FSU/Clemson talk not going away. As mentioned above, ESPN extends. Going to try to improve those ND ratings by more FSU/Clemson/Miami games. Allocate more money on performance. And possibly shorten the GOR.

Other than their 4 playoff games (all top 10), Notre Dame only had 2 others in the top 100. CU was involved in 2 of the 5 games that were not all P4 matchups, vs. NDSU and Colorado St. The others were Army-Navy, Notre Dame's loss to NIU and the MWC CCG Boise vs. UNLV. CU also had the highest regular season game not in a "prime" slot (Saturday 12/4/8 or TG Friday 12/4/8). That NDSU game was #60. There were only 3 of those games that made the top 100 and one was Labor Day Monday (BC-FSU).

The coach blew the game. I was saying how stupid it was going for 2 in the first half. If he had gone for 1, it would have been tied 31-31 at the end of regulation.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/texas-reveals-major-gpa-announcement-about-college-football-season/ar-AA1xkLuR Texas has a new team high 3.27 GPA. I guess Sark has figured out how to keep players eligible. "...The previous high came during the Tom Herman era, so clearly, Sarkisian has been able to elevate the program in all facets. According to Heather Dinich of ESPN, the team's GPA has gone up in each season that Sarkisian has been in Austin. In a May report, Dinich revealed that in Sarkisian's first season, when they finished 5-7, the Longhorns had a team GPA of 2.33. Both numbers saw a slight increase the following year as the team's record jumped to 8-5, while the GPA grew to 2.78. In 2023, the Longhorns went 12-2 and posted a GPA of 2.98. Based on this trend, Texas fans should expect more wins and maybe even higher GPAs in 2025."
