It's sad to see the ACC discussed like this.  Dead conference, etc.

It's totally ****** up. This whole thing is totally ****** up no matter where we eventually end up. Just gonna keep focusing primarily on USF and let the chips, or dominoes, fall where they may .....

I like it.  Home and away games will be a blast.

If USF can get back to winning the program with new IPF and new stadium in a top 13 TV market in Florida should be ok and move up. 

But first step definitely is start winning some **** games.

I haven't been following the GOR closely; so I am slightly ignorant on all the details.  While I understand why teams like Syracuse, Boston College, and Wake Forrest would be fully on board with it since they have a strong interest for the ACC to remain intact since they wont be picked up by the Big 10 or the SEC. But why did FSU and Clemson go along with this?

I just hope USF would not go along with something similar in the AAC.

They didn't have much choice.  ESPN required the GOR for the rate they were offering.

The AAC also discussed a GOR, but ultimately too many schools said no.  The result was a LOWER offer from ESPN.

This would be such a good fit for us geographically and identity wise.

So, after reading the last 30 pages trying to catch up, we can summarize it by saying, CU left the PAC 12x B12 wants AZ, pac12’s media rights are still in the air and the ACC is open to expansion….. I think the ACC NEEDS to add USF and UCONN, this will help insults them for when FSU and Clemson leave. The PAC12 will be fine adding the west coast teams and things will settle for a bit. The BE failed because it didn’t aggressively poach B12 teams years back and the PAC and ACC need to avoid repeating that mistake. Even with CU, the B12 is still not better than the ACC, so it shouldn’t throw in the towel yet. FSU will find the money to leave, too many big donors, they are probably getting all of their ducks in a row. Not sure about Clemson, but I’m sure they can get out if they want. As said before, we just need to get back to winning, build the OCS and hopefully VPMK has us with the right people at the end.

For anyone to try to predict 14 years out is outrageous however it would make a nice 67th birthday present for me.  That Conf will revamp long before  that regardless of the GOR in place.
