If they bolt, the flood gates open, ESPN amends the contract and the ACC becomes AAC 2.0..........

Exactly no doubt what the teams would prefer, but in the vast majority of cases this isn't what the teams or conferences want but rather what is in the best interest of ESPN who will pull whatever strings are necessary to eliminate the ACC dead weight........

Agreed.......provided Duke, NC State, GT, and VT don't bail for the B12. Who would have ever believed that the 4 corners would have bailed for the B12?

If the ACC top tier teams get poached the ACC will get a huge ESPN haircut and will likely go by way of the P12 and no longer be a power conference.........

Some of the Power conferences will get 8-9 at large bids..........

Not an issue for who? "Multiple Group of Five coaches tell Yahoo Sports that Power Five programs, having hit their NCAA-mandated 85 scholarship limit, are adding players as “walk-ons” with collectives footing the bill for a scholarship through NIL. The NCAA permits at least 30 walk-ons."

Yup, hard to compete salary wise with the big boys on $7M TV money a year...........

Extremely disappointing and hypocritical with the metal support structure..............and why is east west facing better when the QB is gonna be looking directly in the sun for half the game?

Not building the OCS, not going into debt, and the option to spend money on other needs is a valid point. Spending that money on NIL is not because it is in no way shape or form legal to spend university money on NIL...........

Sure the playoff requires unanimous vote to change the format but Autonomy status clearly does not. No way the majority of the remaining P4 will allow a new conference of G5 merged teams to retain autonomous status.......... "For legislation to be passed through autonomy, the Power Five conferences will select one representative from each of its universities to vote, as well as three student-athlete representatives per conference. Those individuals would cast a total of 80 votes, and an item would then pass in one of two ways. First, if 60 percent (48 votes) of the vote and a simple majority of schools from three of the five conferences support the item, it would pass. The item could also pass if a simple majority of all votes (at least 41) and simple majority of the schools in four of the five conferences support the measure."

not sure.....sounded like an interesting spin

yes

https://www.bizjournals.com/tampabay/news/2023/09/06/usf-football-stadium-interest-rates.html The university of south florida has submitted revised financial projections regarding its planned on-campus football stadium ahead of a significant vote later this week. If approved by the Florida Board of Governors on Friday, usf will build an approximately $340 million stadium and take out a $200 million loan to help pay for it. Truist Bank has quoted usf an interest rate of 7% on the loan, an increase of 1.5% from the originally projected rate. Revenue projections from the stadium are now "fully dependent" on realizing consultants' estimates, which banked on over 30,000 fans attending each game, according to a Sept. 5 memo. If usf's projected revenues can't be met, either the usf foundation would have to pick up the tab, or there would have to be cuts within the athletics department. Watkins wrote on Aug. 8 that usf's projections for increases in ticket revenue at the new stadium and in athletics revenue — including game guarantees, royalties and conference and NCAA distributions — are "arguably ambitious." "The revisions to the projections for the project highlight the uncertainty of future financial performance," Ben Watkins, director of Florida's division of bond finance, wrote in the Sept. 5 memo to the board of governors.

Ugh, we need wins against FBS opponents...........

Pick any media outlet using any metric not opinions and in BB it isn't even really a debate

You missed that by a long shot............ACC is number 5/6 and XII is number 1 BB conference per any number of media outlets Ranking the Top 10 Conferences in Men's College Basketball in 2022-23 Season BLEACHERREPORT.COM Conference USA, the Mountain West and the Big Ten are all having better years than usual in men's college basketball in 2022-23, but everyone is fighting for...

That has never actually been confirmed......... When Golesh left Tennessee ahead of the Vols' matchup against Clemson in the Orange Bowl last December, it was widely viewed as not a big deal by much of the UT fan base. The logic there is that Tennessee's offense is Josh Heupel's baby. That's certainly true, but Golesh still played a key role in making the offense work. Heupel is never going to be a coach that gives away secrets and intel so it's not clear exactly how the play calling duties were handled in Knoxville last season. Regardless, Golesh was a huge asset for Heupel and the Vols and his presence will be missed.

The problem is hiring coordinators that were coordinators in name only and no real play calling responsibility. Both of the last two hires were coordinators with no practical experience.......learning how to coach on the job just isn't gonna cut it...........

What is even more pathetic is that you have no idea what ties I have to usf.........

...... With potential future departures of FSU, Clemson & possibly others, ACC considering P5 schools now as opposed to G5 schools later to maintain required membership number
