The coach should share his salary by the same logic....

[quote]3 of our front 4 on the Nagurski Watchlist for '21 season. [/quote] An infallible measure of defensive dominance...

[quote]If you are raised in Mountain Brook your surroundings do not represent the rest of the country.[/quote] This would be my concern with Mountain Brook. It’s too comfortable for my liking, if that makes sense. I wouldn’t want to live in Atlanta, though. If these are my only two options, I wo...

[quote]And if I’m UGA I’d like to at least experience the swamp. [/quote] Nah...

Why would UVA leave if PSU was coming?...

Most national politicians...

Adding to the above, I think the core ACC schools probably look at Maryland as a cautionary tale. Maryland has made more money but fallen flat on their face athletically, has developed no meaningful rivalries and little fan interest, and has not really improved its academic standing in any meaningfu...

[quote]So, for the sake of argument, lets assume that this somehow happens, why would these fan bases be upset with a move to the B1G?[/quote] For one, they have zero history with any of those schools outside of Maryland, and they don’t have a lot of respect for Maryland overall. Travel would also ...

[quote]And, every member of the B1G but Nebraska is a member of the AAU. UNC, Duke and Virginia are the only AAU members in the ACC. You cant tell me that wouldn't also be a big deal to them. [/quote] Those three are already are AAU members though, so they already have access to those funds. Their ...

[quote]You are missing the point...it would double in the B1G. Money talks...always!! [/quote] Would it? How would UVA, Duke, or UNC’s research funding change? They are already in a stronger academic position than any B1G schools outside of Michigan and Northwestern, who are on a similar reputatio...

[quote]Ok, if you say so. This doesnt even take into consideration research funding. My goodness...[/quote] The core group of the ACC is not hurting for research funding....

[quote]UNC, Duke, UVA, Florida St and Clemson in the B1G!!! [/quote] That requires a lot of moving parts that have previously been unwilling to make those kind of moves. UVA, UNC, and Duke in particular....

[quote]Revenue reported by conference in 2020 B1G = $768 mil SEC = $728 mil PAC = $512 mil ACC = $497 mil Big 12 = $412 mil Like i said, there isn't a team in the Big 12 or ACC that wouldnt listen the offers from the B1G or SEC. PERIOD!![/quote] This is current, but not a permanent ...

[quote]No...just no. The B1G is getting ready to renegotiate their media rights. In 2 years, the B1G will be the wealthiest conference in America. Their deal with Fox will be gigantic.[/quote] This is a longer term decision than just the next media deal. A theoretical ACC with ND and PSU along with...

I think the ACC might be in a stronger long term position than the B1G....

I don’t have a particular issue with either depending on the scheduling structure. 12 team playoff makes being undefeated or close much less important....

A ND and PSU package to the ACC would really shake things up. Would basically consolidate control of the Eastern seaboard from the Carolinas to New England from a sports interest standpoint....

[quote]Yeah Alabama was a blue blood but we were just coming off of probation when he got here and didn’t have much talent. And he was one 4th quarter performance by Tebow away from playing for a Natty his 2nd year.[/quote] Their talent level was better than a Vanderbilt or Wake Forest at baseline,...

Pretty quickly now assuming it was at least a mid-level Power 5 school. I think with the transfer portal he would try to turn over the whole roster as fast as possible. He’d have them in contention as soon as he was able to do that....

[quote]I knew a guy at UGA who got 25 years for selling drugs. Lots of drugs. But zero violence, no shootings or guns or any of that stuff. 25 years. White as the snow. No priors. Then this guy at GSU actually shoots two people on a drug deal while he was operating out of his dorm room, he doesn...
