I think realistically, the best outcome for us is if the top 24 or so football schools break away (but not 48). That will leave most of our rivals in our boat. We are all playing for being part of a roughly 70 school boat. God help us if that boat ends up being 64. But, at the moment, that's...

I would take them back too, though I would grit my teeth over it. But you just got to the reason why I hate them worse. If FSU doesn't destroy the ACC in thrashing its way out, and pays up, I won't care that they're gone and would not "invite them back in a heartbeat." If Maryland had never...

I hate Maryland more than FSU. So far. And I don't like any of those schools on principle.

I'm a Wake Forest graduate with a fairly good grasp of vocabulary and the law. I don't know what "the bench in NC is generally about as prejudicial to anything Womble says as this crowd is to anything I post" means either. I don't know if it means judges are deferential to Womble or prejudiced...

I like playing Army and especially there. But next year is a little soon, maybe two-threw years from now?

I am pleasantly surprised to look at our schedule and be fairly happy with how it shook out for us. I'd like another game or two against VT. Maybe give up one of the UVA and GT games for that. I'm also used to BC being practically a rival. But I'll take it. I hope we keep up with the UNC games...

The exit fee is 3x annual revenue. So say $120 million. The GOR buyout is either: a) pay the ACC to release your media rights. Say that is $500 million. (Or whatever.) b) leave your media rights with the ACC and don't buy them out. (This will never happen, why would the SEC welcome you but not...

A bit more, although this seems to be coming from Boise State and not Oliver Luck/OSU/WSU. https://frontofficesports.com/first-proposal-for-relegation-in-college-football/

https://t.co/iATYMUGGco This might be some crazy genius stuff here. Solves the problem of the PAC 12 and MWC surviving, and that not all MWC football programs are even decent. Plus, not mentioned, the Big Sky seems to have like a third of the top 25 FCS programs in the country. Have three...

U Ummm ... Huge schools, lots of eyeballs, long rivalries, sustained football success beyond one or two teams. (The ACC should have snapped their fingers and fixed that gap long ago...)

Wait - you think FSU and whoever would have extended the GOR for 10 more years for a few million dollars a year from Wake and [whatever number of low-rent ACC schools have no hope but to subsidize the others]? Hahahahahahaha! What world are you living in? FSU voted against that same deal of...

Yes. If we get left behind in the Football End Game, we will likely lose our Top 30 academic ranking... but not if we're in a Tier 2 sports conference of Tier 1 academic institutions.

SMU is actually tied with State at 72nd in USNWR rankings. So very good, but not average-improving or anything. (Their endowment is only about $2B, roughly the same as ours.) Clemson is actually the lowest in the ACC (77) other than Louisville (at 182!) All of the Big 12 schools with Texas...

Wake Forest: #2 in jello shots, #1 in wine* tours and hearts! (*unranked among cheese crowd)

Because ADs aren't close to the sole decision makers.
