If I was Oregon st., I wouldn't be laughing at too much these days.
Their stadium holds 35K. Yes, they shouldn’t be laughing at anyone.If I was Oregon st., I wouldn't be laughing at too much these days.
These pictures are almost always lies. The band is playing
Agree. Their legacy of greatness begins and ends with Dabo, and even sooner with NIL leveling the playing field.I’m starting to think that losing Clemson to another conference won’t be the end of the world.
Dabo has been awesome. The 35 years or so before him - not so much. I think they will settle into Ole Miss, Wisconsin level - very good. But not playoff level.
Given the NIL trajectory - I expect Miami to regain its old prominence. It’s simply too appealing a place for young kids - and there’s so much $$$ sloshing around there.
I feel the same about SMU - long term.
FSU leaving will hurt more. But them. Get them out of the conference.
We are along for the ride - whatever happens. Not really meaningful on a national level anymore - but maybe can have a good year every so often. Kinda like Missouri or Baylor.
Corvallis and Pullman are awesome and both programs are seriously legit this year and will do a bunch of damage against the schools leaving.If I was Oregon st., I wouldn't be laughing at too much these days.
Interesting, would this merger include all teams? If so I don't see any advantage for the SEC to now have the three teams the ACC just added. Especially SMU as the SEC already has Texas/Texas AM. Plus how much value would SU/BC bring to the SEC from the Boston/NYC market? If SU/BC got left out it could be possible that the BIG18 would add them to really shore up the northeast.Check this out
Interesting listen, it makes some sense. Agree with your points about certain teams. SU is a good brand that brings in eyeballs, in the end I think we will be fineInteresting, would this merger include all teams?

Link isn’t workingHow would Notre Dame go to B1G when they are contractually locked in to the ACC until 2036?
Well they would want to bring in some big markets that the ACC has in Miami, Atlanta, Boston, NYC (Cough cough), Pittsburgh, DMV, etc. It would be an Atlantic coast conference but called the SEC. Makes sense with ESPN worrying about losing their biggest brands in Clemson and FSU. You know the SEC has a move up it’s sleeve and they would be adding some huge brands. I would think if they did this next year they could get out of having SMU and Calford joining since the ACC would be extinct and the SEC merged with ACC but keeps commissioner and league name. Some schools will get a small % until new TV deal. With ESPN potentially this desperate this isn’t the craziest idea i’ve heard. Now let’s just hope we end up in the BC/Pitt/Vandy pod.Interesting, would this merger include all teams? If so I don't see any advantage for the SEC to now have the three teams the ACC just added.

I think one thing that the ACC and SU has on its side is ESPN and Wildhack. ESPN is connected to the SEC and ACC and they don't want the ACC brand to dry up any time soon with over 10 years left on the contract. They will help broker a deal that works.
A few quick thoughts:Check this out
Not at all. But if this potential merger comes to fruition someday and it saves our behinds, then his hire was worth every penny.How has Wildhack helped us with the ESPN connection so far?

They don't even have a football team, and they're ahead of UConn in the pecking order.
