  1. They gave it to you and you got it wrong.
  2. How convenient he is using the better conference argument. Say it damn it, the SEC was the bag money conference since they were all willing to openly cheat and no teams in that conference had a problem doing it. The thing is bag money was relatively cheap. NIL has leveled the field and now Texas, Oregon and USC and some other schools will be able to compete. By the way Aggy is still at a disadvantage because they are not the State of Texas flagship school.
  3. @trythisathome you can use this one in the future if you want.
  4. Colin is aware that when other kids go to the podium everyone already knows where they are going. He has given kids a blue printed of how it is done but most lack the discipline. He probably has most people around him in the dark of what he has already decided to do.
  5. I think ESPN has an incentive to get the ACC to dissolve. We know worth while teams are desperate to find a home in the Power 2 even if it means doing it at a discount. So lets say FSU and Clemson to SEC for $40M a piece. North Carolina, Virginia and Miami to BIG 10 at no cost to ESPN. Then Duke, Pitt, Louisville and UConn to BIG 12 at $31M. So ESPN gets the premier basketball conference and decent football and two more great teams in the SEC for $204M a year instead of the $240 it pays today for the ACC. I think getting the ACC to dissolve is a better deal for ESPN. I really don't understand why people think ESPN does not have an incentive to break up the ACC.
  6. Keep in mind it is not the BIG XII and SEC making moves. It will be ESPN deciding what happens to the ACC and when.
  7. I disagree they are moving around for cash once their contract are over or paying millions to move a year early. The problem with the portal is that it has not penalties for leaving after you sign a contract.
  8. Now I understand why Crow has a look like he has an agenda and everyone else has a look of oh hell we are about to deal with an idiot.
  9. Someone must have the details of what Crow did tonight, the thread is behind the paywall.
  10. So what happens to this game?
  11. Having fun trolling while waiting on his sources?
  12. ASU fans on twitter asking for Crow's head they are pissed he is not in position to go tonight. They seem to think he will screw it up somehow. Oh and then this:
  13. Did not see in the thread but the good news is Oregon will save the PAC 12. He hedges his bets saying the PAC 12 could still die.
  14. Yea, that is why I liked the proposed pods because it protects the few legitimate rivals that exist which is very few. All non Texas schools are going to want to play in Texas every year so how they rotate will be interesting. Maybe POD 2 and 3 flip two teams a piece.
  15. One can be rattled off for most but not all of these schools but then the second is a struggle and what about the third?
  16. Mike was asked the question about permanent rivals if BIG 12 goes to a 6-3 schedule. Guy said Arizona State and................Utah just cuz everyone hates Utah right now and ........... crickets. So looking at the map who would be the permanent rivals. Even the Texas school don't have who they consider a rival.
  17. Here is the problem for ESPN with FSU and Clemson being stuck in the ACC for long time. They will not be able to recruit and the product will suffer and and as a consequence the ratings will suffer. What seems to be a great deal now will not be as good after some years of suckage. See all our 11 am starts of the last few years. Teams with large followings need to be competitive and play in interesting games to rake in the ratings bonanza. To me that is what the networks have been doing with all this movement. They were tired of crappy OOC schedules and conference schedules so you extend the playoffs to give teams an incentive to concentrate power in 2 conferences. Change the auto bids in 2026 and now you have a mini NFL and the sooner the better.
  18. Has Oregon scheduled a board meeting yet or has Phil not called with his decision yet?
  19. I don't see how FSU is going to win unless all of a sudden ESPN is magically on their side and they find "lost" documents that support FSU's claims that Swofford misrepresented what ESPN was telling him. Why would ESPN do such a thing? ESPN figures out that even if they pay more for FSU and Clemson in the SEC while Fox gets North Carolina and Miami they can save money between 2024 and 2036 by buying the remaining teams very cheaply. The networks are playing these conferences like a fiddle to their benefit and it may not be what FSU has got but more what ESPN wants that breaks up the ACC early.
  20. Point me to them, since I said most and not just a few message board geniuses.
