Oh yeah... they were bragging about how it would lock everyone in.

Didn’t someone die associated with the program from racing/speeding etc already?
Sounds like whatever coaching the GA staff did around this didn’t stick.
Yeah... they don't care in Athens. They just got Etienne off.
Instead of an underage DUI, they gave him all of the pieces separately so they could minimize the punishment to probation and community service.
- Driving with alcohol
- Failure to maintain a lane
- Going 80 in a 50
- Reckless drivingThey determined that there wasn't enough evidence besides the drinking and the driving and having the alcohol on his person since they never gave him a test.

If true, FSU and Clemson should have thrown a fit the second they announced the deal that locked them in through 2036.
That's the GoR, that they could see and sign.

Wouldn't ACC member schools have agreed to the terms of the conference contract with ESPN? They did so without having an unredacted copy of the actual agreement? That doesn't make any sense. I'm pretty sure the Big 12's media media contract is available online. Or maybe it's just the Grant of Rights Agreement, but still, I assume the schools have a copy of the media contract they agreed to and are bound by.
My understanding was that the GoR gave the conference the right to negotiate on behalf of the members, and the exact contract with ESPN was never shared.
I have no idea if that's the norm or an outlier.

FSU's gonna get all of that value by having the Seminole Network. Can't wait to see Chief Osceola show us how to make fish tacos at 2am, brought to you by Hard Rock Casinos.

Or move them back until they fit, like arky did to us.
The problem is that they are full until 2034.

NIL, FL Atl, Troy or AR PB will go away. And they may shuffle/cancel others. Kinda depends.
Mizzou is probably going to have to buy off a bunch of those games.

You're dropping Cal now for 2026-2027. They're playing UCLA instead.
Good to know that. But NCState still needs to do something about 2026 as they have 5 OOC games.
And Cal needs more OOC games in 2026-27.
I think for them it has to do more about travel. . They've got to fly like 25000 miles this season with the ACC schedule.
Same with UCLA dropping Auburn and Georgia.
-
Looking at Florida/NCState. Both have openings in 2027. They could just move the 2026 game there.

And now Georgia cancels the series with UCLA that was supposed to start in 2025-2026
That still gives them 4 OOC games since they just added Marshall to replace UCLA.
Edit: Disregard. Marshall is only for 2025 which we've already locked down as an 8 game conference schedule.

How many times do you plan to get on Message Board Geniuses?
Do you have a punch card or something?

And what a surprise, all three of those teams have an FCS school on their schedule. Cancel them and add the 9th conference games, you pussies.
Yes. Florida is known for our weak schedules.

How many hundred year decisions do they make?

I could see how the B1G would be interested in A&M.
But I don't see why A&M would be interested in the B1G.

He's a moron and should not be given the clicks.
I actually had a full screenshot so that we didn't need to load the tweet, but this version of Invision board doesn't seem to auto-embed imgur images or allow you to view source and do it yourself.
I do see now that I could have attached it.

The closest I can recall to anything like that at Florida was that we have flag poles circling the perimeter of The Swamp.
I swear back in the day they were just 2 tone flags with each conference members colors. There are probably 20+ poles and several schools rock similar colors so it really didn't stand out.
I have no idea what flags they are flying there now. Guess I'll look this fall.

My understanding is that, although the SEC and B1G make substantially more media money than the other conferences, the B1G still makes 25% more than the SEC (100M vs. 80M per year). I would be surprised if the SEC did not see that as a problem and a challenge.
Maybe going to nine conference games bridges that gap? Or most of it? Or maybe ESPN closes the gap by convinciythe SEC to take a couple more teams? Who knows?I understand how a nine game schedule would work in a 16 team league. Texas would get three annual games with rivals it wants to play (OU), or rivals that badly want Texas annually (Arkansas) or a rival game that TV wants badly (TAMU).
If it’s an 18 team league, with a nine game conference schedule, wouldn’t there only be one annual rival?It's really hard to tell because of so many moving parts. Yes, the SEC distribution doesn't count the 9th game yet.
Also the Big 10 distribution relies in large part on Oregon and Washington taking partial shares for the next 5-10 years.
I think the Big 10 will continue to distribute more but the SEC members will continue to make more on their own since the schools themselves are more profitable as they have a more interesting product and actual rivalries and history with the other members of the conference.

Regardless, my main point is that no other teams are going to add value to the SEC. If they want to ever expand it will be dilutive unless they do it along with FSU/Clemson. Take those and then go after UNC/UVA to complete the footprint and claim DC to KC and DFW to ATL and everything near and in between. There isn’t much the Big Ten could do to fight that even if they went all in on Miami, Georgia Tech, Duke, NCSU, and Virginia Tech.
I think it's even debatable whether any of those teams add enough to make it worth it for the SEC. Culturally, several ACC teams fit but they aren't a must add.
I don't even see the value in trying to "block" the Big 10.
Who cares if the Big 10 decides to go to 24 and make itself a lumbering mess? Let it collapse under it's own mass.

Depends on what you’re counting I guess.
That all seems fair. I think the SEC has more at the top and middle and the B1G has a lot more bottom feeders. I would probably move Kentucky, Arkansas, and maybe South Carolina up given their resources. Maybe we need 5 tiers because none of those three really belong with the 3 Tier 2 SEC programs you have listed but I'd easily put them alongside Michigan State and Wisconsin.
In the other category, I would probably move Clemson and Miami down a tier each.
