  1. Out of curiosity, had to look up their OOC trends. 2010 - Iowa 2011- OKState 2012 - OKState 2013 - No P5 2014 - No P5 2015 - No P5 2016 - BYU 2017 - No P5; Houston 2018 - BYU 2019 - TTech 2021 - BYU 2022 - Miss St 2023 - Miss St -- 2024 - KState 2025 - KState 2026 - BYU 2027 - BYU 2028 - Nebraska 2029 - VTech 2030 - VTech 2031 - Nebraska 2032 - Bama 2033 - Bama 2034 - TTech
  2. Apparently this is TheDudeofWV's website so chances are he has no sources and the numbers are made up.
  3. up to or more you say?
  4. Not sure that that number has changed. WaPo article this morning: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/07/31/college-football-greed-ambition/ So all of the realignment that's happened the last 40 or so years, all caused by Texas and Oklahoma going to the SEC.
  5. My understanding is that UVA is an anomaly this year due to a single large $50M donation. They are usually in the 30-40 range. https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/234076
  6. I looked up Scoop City. Very limited Yelp ratings and none since 2020 so I can't get a feel for how their Ice Cream knowledge translates.
  7. But I was assured by B1G fans that they would never have expanded if they hadn't been "forced to" by the SEC.
  8. Probably just seems like it because Dabo is in a cult.
  9. Enough to justify expanding to the point that we are a league and not a conference?
  10. Needs were different for #14 vs #17
  11. It's also worth nothing that although the 4 are close/culturally similar, they don't have a ton of rivalries with current SEC schools. VT - none UNC/NCSstate/UVA - have some history with South Carolina but very little the last 30 years.
  12. North Carolina and Virginia are both better fits culturally in the SEC. I doubt the SEC would even consider VT and NC State. I think all 4 were/would have been legit considerations back in 2011 after A&M made #13. But what fits culturally and has the right value as school #14 is different than #17 or 18.
  13. I feel like you may be overstating the gap. The projections that I've seen show a significantly larger payout for the B1G but not to where a half share is more than the ACC. FSU would be taking a cut for the foreseeable future. While the ACC schedule isn't thrilling, at this point, they have teams they've been playing for 30 years or longer vs an entire conference that they have no history with. There will be an initial novelty bump but I'm not sure that having Indiana or Iowa or Rutgers in Doak is going to a big difference in attendance long term.
  14. Major television market, huge student body, alumni spread out all over the country. It's like UCF and Notre Dame had a bastard child together. Full hearts, can't lose.
  15. So happy to be in the SEC. At the end of this, every other conference will probably be spread out all over the country in ham handed fashion.
  16. Makes sense. Try to speak what you want into reality. With the ACC, I guess we know shit is going down once we see a vote of confidence tweet from Wake Forest.
  17. Oregon State doesn't really have much of a choice, do they? I would figure they are way down on the invite list.
  18. Such a crazy thought to me. Wouldn't they be looking at over a decade of debt service just to break even?
  19. So the MWC's TV contract is through 2026. I wonder if they've been negotiating to see what kind of deal they can get with the PacScraps.
  20. Yeah, I am pretty skeptical of those numbers. Just taking a quick look at UNC's and NC State's followings - UNC has more on Twitter and 100k more on Instragram. While NC State has more on Facebook, given that neither team has 100k followers on Facebook, I'm not sure how they ended up with NC State ahead. Yeah. And Florida is in the top 5 in the nation for social engagement but somehow behind FSU? https://athleticdirectoru.com/articles/college-athletics-social-media-rankings/
  21. To be fair, the ACC and Pac appeared to actually have followed the guidelines of The Alliance™ the first time through, or at least didn't use those guidelines for a checklist of what rules to break like the B1G
  22. Given what we're seeing at Northwestern and the President's defense of "I didn't actually read the football report" or the AD's defense of "I didn't actually interview the baseball coach" this might not be just a PacX issue.
  23. If you thought LA to New Jersey was an exciting roadtrip, just wait for Orlando to Eugene.
