Why did the ACC add cal, Stanford and SMU, but didn’t negotiate higher media contract as a result? It was stupid and honestly makes the conferences worse and worse for USF as well if we replace FSU. The travel is ridiculous, and the programs don’t add much in terms of viewership. 


 

 

Agree. Really makes Chip Kelly's idea seem way more plausible. Traveling six times a year for football only vs whatever the number is for all other sports. Football is no longer about student athletes. It's about MONEY.

I've also agreed with football only conferences as we know them plus regional conferences for all the olympic sports.  This would result in the same revenues per school they receive now with much less travel costs to budget for.  It would only piss off about 20 schools that built their programs on men's basketball.

Aren't most of those 20 somewhat regional already?

Good catch!   Makes a lot of sense that we should be on the list as a replacement.  Could get very interesting depending on what Miami does too.
