Very good summary. Now, if we had some sort of timeline as to when the winds of change will start blowing a bit harder, that'd be just peachy keen. 

I also liked the 'one from column A and two from column B' contract trip wire. Smart attorneys out there in media land. 

Most of the conferences want to be at their numbers by 2014 kickoff so most think June 30 2013 is date by which things happen if it's ACc that goes down.

If you have some time on your hands...as we apparently do...go back and click the links in the summary. Granted, some of that is 'old', but it is good reading. I think the summary is very good for 'where we are now', and if there was something more recent, I'm sure it would have been included. Thanks for the effort.

It's just a rumor, but this is the most recent. 8 minutes old baby. 

 

 

It’s 10:29 pm. Some at the BTN are saying the B1G turned down FSU. It’s NOT true. No vote has taken place.

So, he is now claiming some of his own sources (from the BTN) are wrong? Classic!

I think earlier when he said "fsu has the votes" i dont think he meant it actually occurred, but rather a vote would be favorable to them. Unless i missed something.

 

edit: i looked back, didn't see any indication of a vote taking place. just "support"

Correct, WvUHas been voted for unofficially by AcC at least 3 times never getting enough.

I feel like I’m waiting for the Tea Kettle water to Boil.

 

At any moment USF could have a new reality

I don't know if this is in response to me, but I was referring directly to the tweet. He seems to be claiming some of his sources gave inaccurate information. They say FSU is not being added, then he makes an argument to contradict their insider information.

Like to see the details on what voids the ACC TV contract. Like if FSU or VT or Miami goes, is it ripped up. At some point it, schools leaving will void their contract just like the NBC/ESPN clause. Getting into the ACC, not that I think it will happen, doesn't mean a vastly better TV contract. That being said if UConn or Cincy replaces FSU and the NBE contract is voided, then expect what, CUSA money for the new contract? People keep talking about getting out of this conference. And go where?

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
