Yes, let's leave thee money train for a lesser conf. because the SEC is being mean to us.
Does the money actually benefit us if we are in the bottom half of the conference and getting cheated every year? Is the ACC never going to sign another TV contract? Can we not make it part of the deal that we get a certain amount of the money? Money is not reason to stay because we can get money somewhere else.

Yes, the money helps more than just football.

Our biggest issue at the moment.........we have a subpar AD and subpar head football coach. With a competent HC, the bad calls in the Okl and UGA game would not have been a problem. Our problem is we have a narrow minded one trick pony as a HC. He runs a finesse O in a league that plays power football. He passed on Cam Ward for Thorne and Pavia for Thorne/Arnold. The list goes on but those are just a few of the problems we have at the moment.

The problem we have is the SEC hates our coach. Bruce was on the bad end of some calls as well.

This what what Chandler Wooten had to say about it last night "It’s hard to explain, but like 9/10 when you get screwed that hard in a game you usually don’t overcome it.. I have no idea why it’s like that but yeah."

No coach can out coach a fix. Fire Freeze tomorrow (I don't care about him either way) and the same thing will happen with the next coach, because its intentional.

And you think we won't get any money from somewhere else? Use that pea brain of yours.

...The ACC is calling our name...


ND got the slippery end of the stick (after video review) on a clearly horrible call against NCSU yesterday.

It's time to reset CFB...professional officials, conferences that make sense geographically, playoff/bowl structure that makes sense (which probably means no more bowl games no one cares anyway), guardrails around revenue sharing/NIL and the transfer portal.

Makes too much sense, so it will probably never happen.

It’s sickening and I think our AD should be fighting for more transparency with the review process as well as fighting for full time officials instead of these idiots doing it as a side job.

But leaving the SEC is not the answer. Ask Georgia Tech how that turned out for them.

Watching Auburn get half the money they do from tv revenue and watching us play Wake Forest and Duke is not going to solve our problems.

You're right. Only the SEC has money. No one else has any income coming in at all.

Finishing bottom half of the SEC vs getting into the playoffs in another conference. I don't care if its the ACC. Any power league that's not the SEC.

We could market ourselves better without the SEC. They do not help us at all. I would argue they hurt AU.

You are such a little weenie. Schools like freaking Missouri are jumping for joy to join the SEC, and are meanwhile on pace to win 9-10 games for the third straight season in this conference and you want to go run away to the ACC.

So no other contracts will ever be signed. They are all going to make the exact amount they are making forever. Got it.

Mizzou is on a hot streak. Before this year and last let me know how they felt. One or two year above normal isn't good enough. If we have 1 good year every 5 years is that ok? Blows my mind people are not only ok with getting cheated, but also ok with being a bottom half team and never seeing the playoffs. Priorities I guess.. I mean at least out pockets will be a little fatter. Won't win, but money over everything these days.
