I guess those games plus getting the best recruits in the country, plus having the most prestige in the country, plus winning every single national title is an acceptable alternative to losing to...

Ouch. Now that is a b*tch slap. Basically Saban is saying he doesn't know who the hell the peons are in the Big 12 or even what they call themselves. Now we all know that is not really true so...

Some people really don't give it, do they? There are no teams leaving the ACC for a decade or more, if ever. The location of the headquarters has to do with the fact that ESPNU's headquarters...

So, the ACC TV deal is now going to pay the league north of $20 million per school on average beginning July 1st this year? Ouch, their TV deal just surpassed the Big 12 TV deal. Plus, they are...

Wow, look at all the wrist slitting over something that anyone could have seen a long time ago. The ACC schools had no desire to break up. I told you this. Their insiders told you this. Their...

I'm not talking **** on OU or the Big 12. People were throwing out theories and I was kindly showing them with facts why those don't work under the current setup and climate.

I think we are deviating away from what was meant by "pods". What you are describing is just a two division setup where you play the same teams in consecutive years. That's almost worse than just...

Yes. It was chaotic, tough to figure who was where, and eventually lead to the destruction of the WAC as many of the old rivals weren't playing each other very often. For instance, BYU and...

Teams bouncing all over the place is not pods. It's just a more chaotic version of having pods jump around. It's just teams jumping all over the place. What do you call each division every year...

Just like the B1G, Pac, B12, ACC, and SEC all petitioned the NCAA for a change in the rules in the past and failed. LOL. The B1G is not going to expand unless they wanted and knew such an...

Sorry, you are wrong. The concept of pods was that teams could play all the teams in their own 4 team pod and them play a couple out of each of the other pods. That is against NCAA rules. Even...

There are several problems with this "pod" idea. First, it's not NCAA sanctioned. You can't have pods and a CCG. The rules clearly state that there must be two divisions (with a minimum of six...

What makes you think we'll see movement after the Maryland lawsuit ends? Remember that 2 of the key points of the Maryland lawsuit are that Maryland didn't sign the $50 million exit penalty and the...

Oh brother. Why do you guys keep quoting the West Virginia hillbillies? They don't know ANYTHING. This isn't about chess or checkers. It isn't about conspiracies or collusion. It's about...

Bret McMurphy states the Irish may join the ACC this summer according to his sources: ...

"Unless you bring in a revenue for them so that they don't reduce their conference distribution to themselves, they aren't going to bring you in," Spetman said. "That's what I don't think people...

I am not sure which part of this is funnier. The fact that anyone really believes any babble that tuxedo yoda has said (he is worse than dude or swaim).......or the fact that people really think...

Again, do not follow. How is Notre Dame staying back one more year to facilitate their move to the ACC comparable to the Big 12 being limp ****ed when attempting to lure any school of consequence? ...

I'm not following. Who exactly is the Big 12 in this comparison? They certainly are not either party. They aren't attractive to big name schools and the Big 12 has NEVER been in a position to...

Ahh, shucks. You are bursting some guys bubble here. I mean, on the other side they were saying John Hopkins joining the B1G for lacrosse was meant to lure UVA and UNC. Idiots grow everywhere...

That's a potential issue. I've maintained, though, that if the networks refuse to do the heavy lifting (and they are under no legal obligation to do so) then the GoR has no teeth to it. It's...

Prediction: The B1G knows expansion options from the ACC are limited. The B1G has repeatedly stated its preferences for member schools to be in contiguous states and members of the AAU. I think...

Great. The West Virginia hillbillies are now whining about travel after having been in the B12 only 6 months or so.

MORGANTOWN — West Virginia University’s athletic department and the...

I love the spin on these things. Delany clearly said that "binding the conference together" and that league schools "like to play each other" is important. So, how do you guys spin it? He...

Let me explain this to you in idiots' language, son.

If a recruit from Texas had SEC offers and was hell bent on going to the SEC from the get go then he's going to the SEC regardless of whether...

I agreed that Texas is fertile grounds for recruiting. That being said, there are 12 FBS programs in the state of Texas now and 5 of those programs are in BCS conferences. There are only 7 FBS...

I don't "throw **** against the wall". Save that for the WV bloggers, gswaim, and the clowns that cling to their every word.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. The SEC presence in Texas has grown substantially with TAMU in the SEC. Then the B12 shot itself in the foot when it expanded back into Texas with TCU. ...

Smart man

Sorry if I don't follow the sheep mentality that has pervaded a couple of these boards. I try to look at it objectively and not desperately (as you do).

Do you have a link to this "negative" reaction?



You only make this comment because the B12 can't offer FSU anything. Horrible travel. Horrible academics. Lost recruiting. Boosters...

Please tell us how an 8 game conference schedule works better with 16 teams than 14 teams. At 14, you at least get 2 cross over games and get to see every school in the conference every 3 years or...

I like to discuss issues relating to college sports and realignment, in particular. If someone says something that's untrue I call them out on it.

And FSU is never going to be in the B12 either. So, why waste time discussing it?

And there is zero groundswell for Tulsa to join the SEC. It doesn't mean they wouldn't be shatting on themselves if they got an invite. Dumb comment. Look, there was no "groundswell" for Maryland...

Once again, there is no groundswell of support among FSU supporters to move to the Big 12. No news is coming down because there is no news to report. Did you not read the article I posted...

Did you really just post a 9 month old article? LOL. I actually think there may have been a little bit of momentum early last summer. That is now dead. Any tiny support a move may have had has...

31-6, 14-13

LOL. Really? I guess we shall see on the Maryland/Rutgers thing. Several prominent TV people are saying the same thing. Maryland, and especially Rutgers, would not have been added if Virginia...

This has never been a matter of smart or dumb. It's a matter based upon the fact that FSU and friends don't want the B12. You look a lot better to say "we are happy with 10" then to say "we...

This gets closer to resolving the problem because FSU would bring along 3 other partners. Problem once again is that FSU doesn't want to move.....and their partners even less so.

Once again, this changes NOTHING from FSU's view point. LOL. Nothing to see here.

Great article from tomahawknation about FSU's position in regards to the B12:

The main points:

Sammy,

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Maryland's only hope is to get a court with jurisdiction over the ACC to grant ****ctive relief. To get an ****ction Maryland will have to...

1. Maryland is going to have a very difficult time getting an ****ction to stop the ACC from withholding. It's going to be even more difficult to get back any of these funds. You can't cite...

But it is also against the conference bylaws to say you are leaving and not pay an exit fee. It goes both ways.

I think it is time to face the reality that you were duped. If anything, today's comments by Bowlsby were meant to throw water on a fire the Big 12 knew it couldn't deal with. ACC schools don't...

This is where the problem exists. MVher and the dude started the Miami rumor. It was there where it first sprang up. Other people have tried to run it. Until a national media source or Miami...
