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

Leaving the SEC is program suicide

The SEC hasn’t helped AU in any way shape form or fashion in the past 40 years… frankly the UGA UAT and now the coddling of the SWC additions only hurt our athletic department

Don't complain when we stay in the bottom half of the SEC then. You're happy for the trade off as long as we get an SEC participation trophy. I'm sure Oh St and Oregon and Miami all have broken hearts about not being in the almighty SEC.

Dawg, we have been in the bottom half of the SEC for a whopping ~5 years. 5 years and your pussy-arse response is to take your ball and go home.

In Gus Malzahn's final season only 4 teams in the SEC had more wins than us LOL.

And why would a program that quits out of the SEC win anything in the ACC? Your logic doesn't even make sense. If you quit out of the SEC because you allegedly can't compete, then why the frick would the program succeed in the ACC?

Any do you see it changing any time soon? Ever since the conference expanded we have been a bottom half team.

I never said this. I said its because we won't get a fair shake because we aren't one of the chosen brands the SEC wants competing for the playoffs.

Conspiracy to commit fraud?


It does need to be seriously investigated to see if it is just incompetence, bias or the distinct possibility of ref point shaving for big bucks from some criminal bookies in Vegas.

GROK says:

Understanding Point Shaving and Referee InvolvementPoint shaving is a form of match-fixing where participants (typically players or officials) manipulate the final score of a game without altering the winner, usually to ensure a favored team fails to cover the betting point spread or to hit over/under totals. This allows gamblers to profit on bets. While most scandals involve players, referees can facilitate it by making biased calls—such as questionable fouls, penalties, or non-calls—that subtly adjust the margin. Basketball is particularly vulnerable due to its high-scoring nature and individual influence, but it has occurred in football (American and soccer), baseball, and other sports. Referee scandals are rarer but devastating, as they erode trust in officiating. These incidents often tie to organized crime, gambling addiction, or financial desperation, and they've prompted stricter rules like bans on athlete/referee betting. Below is a chronological overview of major referee-involved point shaving or match-fixing scandals, drawing from historical records.

GROK lists several examples of ref point shaving corruption, but notes that it is often players who are bribed.
