  1. Just the Knights. They made a huge deal in the 90s about adding "Golden" and got pissed if anyone only called them the Knights. Then they dropped it a decade later and are now pissed that people keep calling them "Golden" because it's harder to get someone to drop an adjective than add it. It's rather funny.
  2. Florida Southern are the Mocs
  3. The only argument I could see would be "it takes 3/4 to kick any single member out so it would logically follow that it takes 3/4 to kick everyone out." It's crazy that dissolution is mentioned but no vote requirements are listed. By comparison, I don't see dissolution listed anywhere in the SEC bylaws by comparison. Maybe they have a separate doc?

  5. Here's the ACC's bylaws. I see it speaks of the process for what happens when the conference dissolves, but it doesn't list it as a "two-thirds" or "three-fourths" required vote. https://virginiatech.sportswar.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2022/08/2020-21-ACC-Manual-2020-9-17-2.pdf
  6. I'll have to see if I can find a link to the bylaws, but the ACC doesn't call for any specific vote ratio for dissolution and anything not listed with a specific ratio is a simple majority.
  7. Yes. Just need a simple majority of the 15 to dissolve which would get rid of the exit fee but the GoR would continue to exist. Maybe the plan is that the GoR is really untenable if there is no ACC and now it's 15 separate deals that have to be dealt with and ESPN will be more willing to negotiate?
  8. We don't know. Could be Episcopalian.
  9. DudefromWV is now saying that 8 ACC teams are going to leave "in mass"
  10. Athletic Director at UNC.
  11. Thanks... Twitter just doesn't work well for me anymore. I couldn't see part 2 or any other reply and when I clicked on his personal profile, the most recent post is several weeks old.
  12. Wait... are there still 8?
  13. It's been interesting to see the different perspective about Utah. I work with a few Utes who live in SLC, and they're all pretty laid back and are really casual about the whole thing. It might be because none of them are die hard football fans. There are occasional chatter about odd laws that Utah has (or had) in place to appease Mormons but usual talk is ways to work around them or do their own thing, like Pie & Beer Day. Also, those that traveled to Gainesville last year were pretty easy going (though they didn't really interact with Gators but did their own thing), but I think that would go for anyone who has the means and desire to travel a few thousand miles for a football game against a non-rival. There's no need for any animosity between us. Urban is long gone and any bitterness from that is long gone.
  14. Now it gets really messy since it's 6:05 MST.
  15. Well, Sankey's latest masterstroke has been discovered.
  16. I dunno. Just thinking through secenarios. I never liked the bullshitting type boardgames.
  17. I'm thinking it might be a bit of panic by FSU because they see the number of outside slots going away. The chaos concept was about convincing enough ACC teams that there were better options out there in the SEC, B1G and Big 12. Well, one slot is already gone in the Big 12 and it looks like we're days away from the Big 12 closing up expansion shop and with it, their ability to sell the idea to several ACC schools. -- This could also be why we're suddenly seeing OU and UW to B1G rumors again. The B1G wants all of their possible expansion options fighting for a spot and probably willing to take even less money to make it happen.
  18. But why talk about it in public? Just do it.
  19. Could just be gas.
  20. I didn't watch. I assumed they were just going to do the chop and then get excited that they know how to spell their name like usual.
  21. The answer is always Depends.
