A random. shitty NC State team won fucking 12 games in 12 days - or whatever while Duke and UVA were on double byes... to make the NCAA tourney and then went randomly to a final four. Because? they were really good? fuck no they sucked... they went to a final four in -insert random year- because I am not an NC State/Alum and fan. MY team never fucking does that shit in sports.
Correct but most airports don't have the helicopter traffic and the amount of restricted airspace (due to DC and military bases) that DCA has. It's incredibly tight at this airport. There is a point where you can't have more progress as there is a finite space available.
I don't know how it will shake out but, yup we aren't as good as last year. Again we could play like a single unit and be a better team but the pieces aren't close to 2024.
The 90s for VT athletics is wild. There is a reason that we kick guys charged with felonies off the team immediately and it has a lot to do with 90s football.
Those people were the track team, yes the track team and football team got in a Brawl in downtown.
Multiple starters charged with sexyal assault and other similar issues. (multiple cases not one single case)
The university literally told Beamer to knock it off.
I should not be surprised that Gnessan is still in college of course, but I am.
CMY did once take a middle-tier ACC team and win the ACC tournament. Perhaps he could take a lower-tier ACC team move them to the upper-tier of the ACC.
So, I'll say yes. CMY will take this team to .500, win the ACC!!! (Speaking it into existence!)
"As part of the settlement, Clemson and Florida State are asking the ACC to agree to reduce penalties for exiting the grant of rights after 2031" ESPN link
I don't think the ACC has agreed to this yet. I doubt they have yet to put up a vote.
MEGA JESUS 2!
I mean, it just seems like we're patting ourselves on the back for being the first losers. Not a good place to be
FSU and Clemson want reduced exit fees. I have not seen anything that those have been approved.
which is why point 2 on the right is so dumb. OK, yea, the first 5 years of the ACC was good money for the ACC, but the ACC signed a 2-decade contract. So freaking dumb.
Maybe I misread the extension release, but I thought it doesn't expire until 2036 but the reduced exit fees happen in 2031 in conjunction with when the other conference contracts expire.
100%. The ACC begs for ESPN or ND to save them, but honestly it was Swofford's dumbass negotiations that made them soo feeble. He also was the architect of the weakest conference expansion to build out "basketball brands" to ensure ACC's place as the top basketball conference only to turn the conference into a 4th tier or worse basketball conference in due time.
Worst management ever. I guess that's what a UNC degree gets you.
Yes, it still shows us as being well behind the P2, but not as far behind as previous statements (mid-$30Ms). At least somebody is trying to compare apples to apples in the payouts. I'll give props for that.
And it looks like we're doing significantly better than the Big XII. Their rights at their next renegotiation are going down after Texas and Oklahoma left.
SMU doesn't have the brand that those other schools do. SMU was better than Miami and FSU this year and might be next year, too. However, that match up doesn't have the cache that those other match ups have because of their brands.
ESPN would probably want the Miami and/or FSU games to be early; too, before we know what a shitshow those teams might be.

It also conveniently stops in 2031 when the B1G and SEC comes due for renegotiation of their contracts and will likely lap the ACC.

The bottom line is that if an association with ND benefitted ACC football in ANY fucking way, the league wouldn't be dying, re-upping shit contracts and adding fucking Cal. Bottom line. Period.
Right now with the money SMU is throwing at football, I wouldn't discount SMU vs ND as a draw.
ESPN wants better product, that's why they are (probably) encouraging this scheduling model. ND vs Clemson, FSU or Miami is better product than ND vs SMU or Louisville or Wake Forest.
Sure ND could take their ball and go elsewhere, but why would the Big Whatever or SEC want to accommodate that as it probably reduces the number of teams they could get in.



I would have 100% left Syracuse football to die like UCONN. As cuse as a whole would have been happier than a pig in shit. But no, we have to add their weak ass football program and help Pitt also for no fucking reason. Pitt isn't a big brand in EITHER sport FFS. dumb is being generous.
