Right now it appears ESPN does not intend to pay the ACC more for 10 P4 games. SEC on the other hand is expected to see a $3-4M increase per school for going to 9+1 because of course we need to widen that gap.

Our baby sitter cancelled and rather than miss the game, we need a parking pass close to stadium since strollers are not allowed. 2 parking passes would be great, but I'll settle or 1.

Agreed.

Dan Mullen at Florida: 34-15 (.667)

Winning on the field didn't seem to be an issue. Winning recruiting rankings was.

but as stated you'd have to have that mandated in each conference

The Notre Dame agreement actually helps us a lot here. There's ways to get this to work out mathematically. In off cases where you can't get everyone to 10 maybe you include Boise, Tulane, Memphis and the last 4 G5 playoff reps

Better be 8+2 in our position we need to win more cross conference games due to perception, adding another conference game only hurts us.

Alos those noncon games would likely get better views than most of our extra conference games so the money argument doesn't play here

  • Engaging the right high value donors
  • Not hiring the right CFO type role in the AD
  • Having people with no fundraising experience leading the main athletics fundraising arm

My point is they recent changed the regulations and contracts (due to the revenue sharing model). Makes a lot more sense than changing the transfer portal dates (which is going to be a lawsuit and changed almost immediately).

Y'all listen to new phantom island yet? I can post the transcript after lunch but TLDR (at least as I remember it 10 min after listening):

  • VT needs to 'clean up their house before having people over'
  • "There's no billionaires in them hills"
  • Any list you see is fake because VT hasn't been able to tell any agents what we're working with yet. VT can't have a list until the house is in order and numbers are solidified.
  • He knows that there is an 8-figure increase coming, but he is not confident enough in the exact number to report it
  • Says the admin is taking it seriously, but a one time cash infusion won't cut it
  • Despite that increase, zero chance Jon Sumrall comes here, because it's not enough. Would need a multi year commitment with a Clemson level staffing support and 'playoff level NIL Budget' to get him to take an interview

why can't transfers be trades?

Because the players are under no obligation to abide by the trade. Its unrestricted free agency. Until there is some kind of CBA or other limitation on player movement, there can't be trades.
