Dickie V is a national treasure... buy my God this is a turrrrible take.Hey Dickey...
If the ACC dissolved, and your precious Duke ended up playing ECU, Tulsa, and Tulane every year, would things matter then?
Where was Dickie V’s big mouth when the B1G raided USC & UCLA?Dickie V is a national treasure... buy my God this is a turrrrible take.
Have some of these dopes been hibernating before USC and UCLA left for the B1G last year?
Yeah it settles things until 2031. All this did was prevent the Big 12 from adding these teams at some point over the next 5 years.
Yep. If they all (let's say old P5) banded together they'd have more bargaining power. The media companies like that it's a fractured mess.This is what cracks me up above all else. The media companies that pay the conferences for rights are taking in anywhere from $5 to $15 BILLION a year, but the schools are fighting a death match over $20-30 million. They're all so incredibly dumb.
Minus our fake classes
Wait a SEC. The other guy said UNC put the ACC on "notice ". Why isn't he really saying what is position is? UNC chicken schiiit.
Hey DickyV...they aren't student-athletes anymore. They have NIL and are paid employees. Sports are their job; it's their major. Part of their job involves travel.Hey Dickey...

Well he doesn’t say “he” voted against it. Effectively whether he personally wanted it or not he had to vote against it.Wait a SEC. The other guy said UNC put the ACC on "notice ". Why isn't he really saying what is position is? UNC chicken schiiit.
This redeems this entire goatshow of a thread.Mmmmhmmmm.
Quoting the great philosopher, Rasheed Wallace, "As long as somebody 'CTC,' at the end of the day I'm with them. For all you that don't know what CTC means, that's 'Cut The Check."
Y'all can go. Just cut the check for leaving early, set up the direct deposit for the tv money and we'll send our band there to send you off.
Y'all are one Saban retirement away from Dabo jumping and y'all convincing yourself that you have the next Dabo on staff.
I really enjoy your posts GBO. I really like Clemson fans. But y'all keep talking like you're Regina George in Mean Girls and you aren't even Gretchen Weiners.
Everyone doesn't get NIL. Far from it. That's why you have Arik Gilbert breaking into a vape shop for $1600 of merch and players at Iowa and Iowa State gambling knowing they can go to prison.Hey DickyV...they aren't student-athletes anymore. They have NIL and are paid employees. Sports are their job; it's their major. Part of their job involves travel.
If an athlete doesn't want to travel, drop down a level, don't get NIL, and play sports in a small-time regional Division II conference. If you want to play big boy sports, you will get paid, and you have to travel.
Everyone wanted athletes to be paid, well they are. And now it's an arms race for schools to get as much money to pay the athletes (or set up and drive collectives for the athletes to be paid) to have the best teams. And part of that is getting more TV money and conference re-alignment.
Welcome toCollege sportsminor league sports in 2023! Stop crying about the past; get on board with the new way of the world.
UNC, FSU and Clemson burned that bridge.
I think it is a larger cost issue for the non-revenue sports. Maybe they could bunch all the non-revenue sports (soccer, field hockey, track, lacrosse, tennis, volleyball, etc) scheduling together and make just two charter flights a year.Everyone is talking about the travel issue, but that should primarily be just a problem for Stanford/Cal. The other schools could theoretically just make 1 California road trip a year (at most) if they schedule them back-to-back as they should.
Kind of odd that the one conference with an appropriate name for a coast to coast footprint is the only conference that explictly announced they dont want one
Your missing the forest from the trees. Bigger picture, the landscape has changed. And the college sports world has changed.Everyone doesn't get NIL. Far from it. That's why you have Arik Gilbert breaking into a vape shop for $1600 of merch and players at Iowa and Iowa State gambling knowing they can go to prison.
Whoa...you misread me. I'd happy with this move. I think I was just saying I wish we could have brought in more PAC schools before the PAC was raided.Well you sure complain with the best of them FRANKIE. What is your alternative solution to this? The ACC dying on the vine in 2036?
