I was always partial to Elaine Robinson (Katherine Ross!).

They’ll be all confused by Mellow Mushroom.I'm looking forward to people in California wondering what the hell is bojangles and food lion
Wait until they get a load of the officiating
I’m still deeply offended by Mellow MushroomThey’ll be all confused by Mellow Mushroom.
cry me a river, they were already going to have to travel a bunhc , these 3 won't mean that much moreThis is shameful RIP ACC.
Feel terrible for the non revenue athletes of ours being treated like puppets now they have to go to California for games. I’m furious and think the university is pathetic for bowing down to Cal Berkeley and Stanford. Invite Colgate too while we’re at it.
That's basically what Phillips/Kliavkoff/Warren said when Okla & Tex announced for the SEC.
1995 was the last year Stansbury was relevant. If I recall correctly they snubbed Jesse for Zack Morris.
Many athletic departments across the country are already in the red. What's a little more debt?
Wrong on so many levels. These schools can't come anywhere near being able to afford paying off the GOR for years to come. If they could have, they would have. They can't. As far as the conference being dead man walking, what would you have said about the Big 12 just two short years ago? There is a lot to happen between the time these schools can go and where everyone will be at that time. And no one, not me. Not you. No one, knows what the landscape will look like when that time comes.NC State has nowhere to go unlike UNC.
This is a dead conference walking. It's a matter of when. These schools may feel confident enough to give up the GOR and pay the buyout.
The Giants are looking to flee the Bay area? The 49 ers? Golden Sate Warriors? I have no strong feelings either way about this move. But for either side to think this is a disaster or it is a life saver, seems silly to me.The ACC just fixed its scheduling and now we are going to a market where the MLB and NFL are fleeing from. 2 teams there 1 horrible market worse than Boston and BC in terms of CFB/CBB popularity.
It was 10 years ago we played a 'road' NCAA tournament game against Cal in San Jose and they had literally no home court advantage and fan support.
Everyone will mock the ACC too because of its name 'Atlantic' conference playing games on the Pacific makes every member institution look pathetic.
Very elitist and boomer take. It's the only way some of them can afford to get a formal education thanks to the sins of a previous generation. While degrees are holding less and less weight, taking on little to no debt > paying full freight at a D2, D3 or NAIA school.
KC may have made the most important point. The GOR is based on revenue. And the revenue just got bigger. Even if the profit didn't.Haven’t caught up yet. But just spitballing numbers. This does not include ACC network price for California or Texas increasing. Which could be substantial.
Syracuse received roughly 40 million last year. With projections only expected to increase over the next several years.
Based on this last years numbers and early reports, Stanford and cal will get 30% for 7 years. That is 12 million for them, 28 million for ACC per team.
SMU is going 9 years with no payment!!! That’s 40 million to the ACC.
Obviously some will be taken off the top for traveling costs. But that is roughly 96 million dollars the ACC has to split up among the other members not including any ACC network money that the ACC owns 50/50.
I’m still not totally on board with this plan/teams. But I’m not sure what FSU, Clemson, UNC can complain about. They just significantly upgraded the dollar value of the media contracts.
They are annoyed because they are out numbered and the traveling. But they kept saying how they needed more money. Well now they have access to it.
Honestly I would not reward UNC, FSU or Clemson a single cent extra. They tried to sabotage the larger group. That should cost them.Haven’t caught up yet. But just spitballing numbers. This does not include ACC network price for California or Texas increasing. Which could be substantial.

More, yes. But not enough. It's never enough.Haven’t caught up yet. But just spitballing numbers. This does not include ACC network price for California or Texas increasing. Which could be substantial.

I don't know if I would be optimistic about that last part. What comes next might be worse. I fear it will be.This. Of course, it’s always about the revenue producing sports, just as it’s always been. The Olympic sports are just brought along.
The NCAA is a cartel and it’s a sham. And god willing, we’ll see a better system in its place soon.
CaliBob in the house! Welcome.Looking forward to SU games out here in the Bay Area! BTW...are we the only team that plays all 3
of the miscreants? Please, please, let us do well!!
According to a few friends who went to PAC 12 schools, their officiating is horrendous. So they’ll feel right at home.I'm looking forward to people in California wondering what the hell is bojangles and food lion
Wait until they get a load of the officiating
Obviously the bag man showed up at the NC State President's house.
I hope the ACC is able to add 3 of the below in 5 years to get to 20 before the 3 babies leave. Then when teams leave you can backfill with the best availables.
Arizona State, Colorado, Kansas, Utah, or one of Houston, Baylor, TCU
The PAC had the worst officials in the P5, it'll actually be an upgrade for them.I'm looking forward to people in California wondering what the hell is bojangles and food lion

They sure have, for like 25 years in a row.The PAC had the worst officials in the P5, it'll actually be an upgrade for them.
They're a legend in their own minds. Notoriously boorish and arrogant here in Charlotte. At least Clemson and even UNC handled this w/ a smidgen of class. FSU still acts like Bobby Bowden is gonna walk through that door. Typical, wacky Floridian attitudes.For all of their talk and bluster, who exactly is knocking down the door to get FSU?
