The realignment cycle's next spin

[Druken Friar]

"...Saban said he believed there needed to be only 60 to 70 FBS teams in four or five conferences, and they needed to play one other and no one else.
Basically, Saban admitted he's a proponent of superconferences and programs that are financially able to compete in big-time football, and to hell with everyone else."

(He talking about only 4 conferences, not including the ACC)

"Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, one of the most powerful men in college sports, says he believes the ACC might be in imminent danger. He told Sports Illustrated on Monday that his league is "vulnerable right now, I'm concerned about our conference.""

"when one of your seven founding member institutions walks away for a much bigger payday from the Big Ten -- and is willing to absorb a $50 million penalty to do it (thank you Under Armour) -- it's clear evidence of instability at the home office."

more like 20 mil and duke is example #1 of everything wrong in college sports in the CR world. **** him, his schools is one of the shouldn't be's in college football cashing checks and now he sees the future finally. duke may have a big bball fanbse, but have u ever been to the dome? its mid major all day and thats what duke is. wake is the same. schools like nova, gtown and butler for exmaple play fcs fball and bball is king. they are what duke will become. eventually the acc will be a power bball league that plays mid major football in d1. i dont know if schools like duke and wake will down grade big time or just somewhat and fcs schools will upgrade somewhat or what but all those schools will be in the same bball power league with fball fields on campus somewhere.

Dude -- why so angry?

What dome are you talking about? Sounds like you mean Cameron Indoor, a 1940 classic that Dickie V sleeps in when he's not in Florida. I'll send you a bottle of Lao Lao if you settle down.
