Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

[Biff Tannen]

I think he just means perception. I don't know how you do that though.

 

[inspectah]

But this isn’t a good guess. As has been said multiple times, ESPN has no reason to pay schools more to join the SEC when they already have them under contract. The Big 10 has no reason to take schools that will decrease the amount of money each individual school makes. Neither of these are real options for all but maybe 2-3 schools.

What? The B10 media deal expires in six years. What then?

The best Louisville, VT, and NCSU can hope for is the Big XII and I'm guessing the Big XIIs next preferred school is Miami.

And, again, a bunch of ACC schools joining the Big East isn't going to happen - those schools already made that mistake once.

Why wouldnt you just call it the Magnolia league? And kick out the Yankee schools. Add Vandy if possible

Lol yeah I'm sure vandy would jump at the chance to leave the SEC

They will right after they see Princeton leave the Ivy to join.

Agreed. They may want to leave, but they don’t have anywhere to go.

What do you mean by ramp up our academic prestige?

Make it a harder school to get into with more renown faculty etc

 

[jamesda3]

Our alums put us in this position. We should have invested in men’s basketball for the last 6 decades. We didn’t.

We have lost with 7 straight Coaches. The fault was ours.

What are you talking about we were one of the top 25 programs of the last 25 years just a decade ago

Wake has been doing that for 30+ years.

Do. Not. Engage

 

[w84it]

Faculty. Faculty? We're talking about faculty? Not a coach. Not a coach. We're talking about faculty!

oh, sure.
So, we decrease the number of people we admit and then hire more renown faculty with the decrease in tuition money.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Did they though? Clemson and FSU got what they wanted....a bigger piece of the pie. Seems like they knew what they were doing leaking that story a day before the AD meeting
