[David321]

American Continental Conference ("ACC").

That’s actually pretty solid.

I thought I was having a seizure when I first started reading. I set down my coffee and blinked a couple times to make sure I was OK.

Anyone who reads the entire post gets extra syracusefan board points.

Lol That is exactly what they don't need. You think Florida state's b******* now I have? Why don't you add Miami to that list?
Listen, if they do what they're supposed to do. Listen to the listen to ESPN because the SPS. Me has in trouble right now. And they're not just gonna fault. ESPN will take care of us. It's already been shown that there will be a slush fund from these schools. Coming in for pretty much nothing and guess who gets that money. The freaking teams in our conference. If they want to, they can use that performance aspect. Which could, which would give us fss? You or whoever wants more money, so this is just. Stupidity, they sound like hypocrites. Now depend offer more money, and it's still complaining And ACC network will make a lot more money because of the lack of coverage. On the West Coast, San Francisco Oakland area is tremendously huge. Google all the money they're like. I can think of so many good parts of this deal. There's no more travel problem cause. All of those other programs are not coming in. It's just football and basketball. So what the h*** do they have to lose? I mean, SMU obviously has a lot of support in Dallas. That's another huge tailor which state set a lot of views which h CCI already has a s*** load which would help while potential as since as you see ACC merger.
That's what should be entombed about not South Florida. Or whatever b******* school that was brought up to replace AI brand soul. In effect, they wouldn't be replaced on it all. It would just be another full s*** School worse than Stanford and cow. So it makes no sense again, and there won't be a replacement man if that happened, that would be the beginning of that.

One more thing I read something that you &c will not leave. They are one of the 14th that rejected the last deal. But, you know, they're all in on ACC. What are you kidding me! I guess all in ACC means get the *** give me the *** out of here. Because I Don't understand that explanation whatsoever.
. ACC has taken away every negative of this deal and brought in just about as many positives as there ever could be. So obviously there's nothing to lose so do it. I mean, I'm sure you'll sell about Syracuse to get 4 2 9 million more a year. Which is the it's either the low or the high of what they could make with everything I just mentioned.
Let's go back to the biggies so we can eat. So we can make naughty 9 million all together for our department. Yeah, that's good, that's the way to go

You took the words right out of my mouth

I think I’ve been blackout drunk and more coherent.

I wonder how ACC refs will treat western teams? Can’t be as bad as how they treat the

I hope that this starts out as bball and football only lots of conflicting reports which leads me to believe everything on this is being kept extremely close to the vest

American Continental Conference ("ACC").

Good start. How about ACC-MI-FTVOI?

Some of you frequent flyers please correct me if I'm wrong, but several years ago an airline pilot told me that the greatest part of a flight cost was in the takeoff and landing. Once a plane was in level flight, the cost for additional miles wasn't that much (at least in the CONUS). Any truth to that?

Makes sense

Logically makes sense. Massive acceleration to get the speed to take off and get to altitude. Once you are at cruising height you have less atmospheric resistance, as well as inertia working in your favor.

An outsider is an outsider. Get your ineligible receiver downfield or mysterious hit out of bounds flags ready to fly!

I thought it was those little pretzels.

Break out the “Knee Pads are too high” rule. That’s always good for a couple well-timed 15-yarders.

Once you get up to maximum altitude, you’re just falling.

[NJCuse97]

I thought American Coastal Conference as an alternative. I know ND and Texas mess that up, but with all the travel, it still feels appropriate

[MikeSU02]

I think the ACC needs to add USF when FSU bolts. It is actually better for our alumni and diaspora to play at USF vs Tallanasty

I like USF a lot. I'm also biased because I have family in Sarasota so flying into Tampa then heading down to Siesta Key Beach and hitting up the Daiquiri Deck and Siesta Key Oyster Bar is like my happy place.

I don't think they're bad at all, I just don't get why some seem to believe they would suddenly rocket up to the top 1/3d of the ACC when they couldn't even consistently do that in the AAC. They had 4 good years before many of us could talk and it seems like a few people on the board think they're a sleeping giant.

It's believed that their recruiting will improve by moving into a P4 conference. As good as TCU was under Patterson in the Mountain West, they became even better when they moved into the Big XII. There's a good-to-excellent chance that SMU could follow the same arc. An SMU in the ACC probably doesn't lose Sonny Dykes (the architect of their recent improvement) to TCU.

 

[Hoo's That]

Me too, but not 100%. We need another Texas school down the road (prefer Houston natural rivalry with SMU and the Dallas/FW area) and personally we need a couple Florida schools when/if Florida State and Miami leave. I'm thinking UCF, USF, Cinci, WV maybe Memphis in the equation. Does ACC have enough pull to to pull them out of their conferences? Would that solidify things with the CA/Tx/Fl footprints and eyeballs? I don't know just thinking, been so much in the thread I'm probably repeating someone's post verbatim... Can't call what UVA or UNC might do.

SMU's (Dallas) rival is TCU (Fort Worth). They play for the Iron Skillet.

 

[Newhouser]

Mike DeCourcy not a fan of the addition in the Sporting News - Stanford averaged 3,500 fans at hoop games last year? Can that be right?

Thanks.. I was thinking more along the line of population centers and eyes watching. SMU/TCU are in the same footprint/market whereas getting Houston would add another huge market to the league. Not sure Texas football culture or if a rivalry would pickup, but the two largest TV markets in Texas couldn't hurt.
