What exactly do we do for money? And that has worked so well for our friends at UConn and UMass. I know you are joking but we are just in a bad situation.Who says no? HahahahahahahHh

I haven't thought it through yet but I think the best case for us might be a total implosion of the ACC. Feels kind of hopeless right now.What exactly do we do for money? And that has worked so well for our friends at UConn and UMass. I know you are joking but we are just in a bad situation.
That would be a bigger disaster. We at least get money to support our athletic program. These other schools are spilling money like oil coming from a sinking ship.I haven't thought it through yet but I think the best case for us might be a total implosion of the ACC.

Maybe I'm caught in the moment but it is hard to see how we aren't on the outside looking in at the end of the day. Football is all that matters and outsiders will always view our program as low floor-low ceiling.That would be a bigger disaster. We at least get money to support our athletic program.

Didn’t UConn just win a tournament or something?What exactly do we do for money? And that has worked so well for our friends at UConn and UMass. I know you are joking but we are just in a bad situation.
If we were making enough money right now, Babers would have been fired 2-3 years ago.That would be a bigger disaster. We at least get money to support our athletic program. These other schools are spilling money like oil coming from a sinking ship.
When the time comes, we don't know what we don't know at that time. We could be better.Maybe I'm caught in the moment but it is hard to see how we aren't on the outside looking in at the end of the day.

The key is to root for both the ACC and American football to fail.Maybe I'm caught in the moment but it is hard to see how we aren't on the outside looking in at the end of the day. Football is all that matters and outsiders will always view our program as low floor-low ceiling.
Yupp they both blow up everyone involved will have to find something new. Get a decent football only conference going with schools like Yukon, BC, Memphis, etc. and put everything else in the Big East.The key is to root for both the ACC and American football to fail.
I get all the arguments. They make perfect sense. Once you stop caring about American football, though, the path is clear.
This is the best path and there's no reason that league won't get a decent TV deal. Won't be comparable to the SEC or Big Ten but our current one isn't either.Yupp they both blow up everyone involved will have to find something new.

None of the big boy football leagues will ever want us and it is silly to pretend otherwise.
This, exactly this. The Big 10 could have made an exception for us instead of taking Rutgers, but they didn’t. That tells us all we need to know.Yupp they both blow up everyone involved will have to find something new.

The ACC will always treat us like junior members, but at least we’re paid like senior members. (We are paid like senior members, aren’t we?)
I genuinely believe American football as we know it won’t last. Aside from young men killing themselves for our entertainment, sports television is about to face a reckoning.
Only 32 programs (give or take) will survive. There won’t be enough money to support anything beyond that. We’re never going to come close to that group. People will stop playing American football and move on to other sports anyway.
As our own Aaron Sorkin famously wrote, “We’ll see.”Football has never been more popular its untouchable head to head vs other sport in terms of interests and ratings. Participation might be down with a certain demographic (liberal rich white people) but its not with others. You think baseball participation isn't down more? Any idea how many high schools have to combine and pool together to field an ice hockey team these days?
Rutgers went to the Big Ten after we went to the ACC we would not have taken a Big Ten invite over an ACC one if presented with both at the same time. We wanted the ACC more than it wanted us. No one could forsee NBC and CBS throwing stupid money at the Big Ten and going against every current trend in doing so to put them in their own stratosphere but it happened nearly a decade after the schools moved.
You might see schools move to FBS but honestly it’s working out pretty well for the ones joining Jax State is doing well this year have you seen whats going on at JMU? Liberty? Obviously we are trending towards joining them but we were once conferencemates with Temple and Uconn.
Someone said it in game chat - Syracuse wants to be just good enough to keep cashing ACC checks. This program will never compete for championships in Football. Private Northeast school, subpar facilities, weak NIL and lack of total commitment from the BOT.Who says no? HahahahahahahHh

Basketball is your only hope. If the had the balls, I say drop football and flow money to hoops to create the ultimate facilities on earth. Hookers...blow...you name it...go all in

Probably couldn’t get in with the academic standards. Maybe we can join the league LeMoyne is in.
Not as it’s currently constructed. People are wondering if the Big 12 or the ACC will be the next to go. They’ll both be gone when it’s all said and done. A handful of teams will join what becomes of the SEC and Big 10 (replacing a few sacrificial lambs like Vanderbilt and Northwestern).Sports TV may have a reckoning coming, but if it does, the one sport that’ll survive and thrive is football. Trust me.
