ACC pays out more to FSU than expected...$16 million for 2011

Bye, bye budget deficit for athletics.

Not bad for a dying conference.

10:08 a.m. — Spetman announces that FSU received more than it had expected from the ACC in conference distribution money. The Seminoles received $1.6 million more than the conference had originally told them. Were expecting about $14.1 million given in payouts on Dec. 1 (of last year) and June 1 (of this year). On June 1, the school received the additional money, totaling just short of $16 million for the year.
This means, that previously reported $500,000 budget shortfall the athletic department had from this past school year’s budget cycle, has now been cleared. FSU is in the black for that budget. Spetman said there also should not be a budget shortfall, as previously reported, for the next budgetary cycle. The athletics budget is in the black.

Finding money in the couch always a good thing

 

[pj]

Did they find it in Duke's couch or Wake Forest's?

I wonder how much couch money will be available for Notre Dame.

Clean your keyboard off, observer.

I've never seen a guy get so aroused over conference realignment arguments. I picture you in your basement, at a computer, feverishly awaiting the next response to one of your posts, even if it's 2 AM.

Kind of sad, actually.

Solid post. One thing I will say is that you certainly could not make a similar arguement wrt certain butthurt Uconn posters and their silly fantasies about the destruction of the ACC.

Not. At. All.

Looks like dropping hints about leaving has it's advantages.

Bye, bye, "FSU can't afford to leave" arguement. All the pieces are falling into place.

It's kind of like the poor schlub who buys the ex-girlfriend an expensive gift and thinks it means they are back togther when she takes it.

Never was a 'can't afford to leave' argument. Argument was that FSU needed to leave because their athletic program was suffering a deficit and they were tired of sitting on the corner in tattered uniforms holding a sign saying 'will change conferences for food.'

No worries though, ACC will keep all of its members and the internet bloggers who proclaimed its death will all be eating another helping of crow and of course, not, admitting they were wrong.

THOSE sneaky Chinese are at it again trying to
throw the Earth's orbit out of whack by jumping up
and down in unison. And unless millions of patriotic
Weekly World News readers do a counter-jump here in
America at precisely the same moment, it could mean
the end of the world!

By GEORGE SANFORD! Weekly World News


For the fifth time in a decade, the Chinese government is forging ahead with a bizarre scheme to topple America by changing the Earth's tilt, the CIA has learned.

"Despite all this talk about China and America being pals now, the truth is those little commie rats hate our guts and they'll try anything to destroy us even if it means risking the lives of everyone on the planet," a high-level CIA official confirmed.

"The Chinese have ordered all 1.2 billion of their people to jump up and down at exactly 4:03 p.m. EST on September 2, to tilt the Earth on its axis just enough that America will be cast into eternal winter. We'll be living in another Ice Age, fighting for survival. Our days as a super-power will be over while China is transformed into a paradise.

"As absolutely crazy as it sounds, our scientists say there's a 45 percent chance it could work and if it fails, there's a 25 percent chance it could send the Earth spiraling out of control and into deep space." The only way for the plot to be foiled, experts say, is for as many people on the other side of the world � North America tojump up and down simultaneously, counteracting the impact of the made-in-China hop.

When the Chinese tried the ploy before in the 1990s, Weekly World News readers rose to the occasion and launched a massive counter- jump that successfully thwarted the evil effort.

But with U.S.-Sino relations warming up, the back-stabbing communists think our nation's guard is down � and they're ready to give it another crack.

Every freedom-loving American must join in the world-saving stunt To participate, stop what you are doing at 4:03 p.m. on September 2, and jump up and down as high as you can for six minutes, say government experts who are spreading the word quietly to avoid mass hysteria.

"Tell your friends, neighbors and co-workers. We need every able-bodied American, man, woman and child on board," says the CIA official.

"There are 285 million Americans in this country and we're far bigger than the Chinese. If we all act as one, we can lick them at their own game."

A lot of ACC apologists, perhaps you as well - I don't care enough to look, made the "how will the FSU afford the ACC exit fee when they are already in the red?" argument. That argument is now gone.

I don't think there ever was a 'will change conferences for food.' FSU reasonably indicated that getting paid less, to play against lesser competition, in a conference that will soon not have realistic access to a meaningful post season did not make sense for them. Take a look at those elements and let me know whether any of them has changed by virture of FSU closing the gap of it's annual deficit. If not, then FSU's status in the ACC really hasn't changed has it?

We'll see how things shake out, but it's not looking good for the ACC.

FSU lost more than 1.6 million

Not. At. All.

Or certain Syracuse fans, who feel the need to go on other schools' boards for some strange reason.

Never understood why a 'Cuse fan would want to post on a UConn board.

Must be kind of refreshing to get away from all the losing and child abuse allegations...

 

[uconndogs]

Cuse posters used to be on UCONN boards all the time telling UCONN fans what a futile effort it would be to play football at this level. Stopped once they realized that pounding the out of them was an annual event for UCONN football. Classy bunch. No congratulations, just vanished.....TexasMark excluded btw

Out of curiosity what happens if the Chinese are bluffing and the entirety of our super-sized nation ends up being the only ones jumping?

In fairness, it IS futile to play football at their level. That's why UCONN surpassed them...

1. We don't have an expansion board.

2. Our expansion talk doesn't approach the level of hilarious tin-foilhatery that this place does.

3. If you're still stuck on child abuse smack then clearly your reading is, how shall I say, Kemba Walker caliber.

Why do I find it amusingly ironic that a Cuse fan brags about not having an expansion board when we all know the reason he is posting on the CT expansion board is to see what may happen to his very own school? You dont have to post here, you realize that? If we are all so wrong, and this is all so outer space, why are you always here???

Now go run along to your BCU friends and your Pitt friends and your soon to be gone ACC friends.......from what I can see from the general intellect of the Cuse posters, Fab Melo probably was an academic tutor for most of them.......do ALL of you guys just sit around with your fingers in your ears and hum really loudly anytime someone talks about the ACC being delegated to second tier status, just like the league you left?

Good luck in the Big East.

 

[mavblues]

Good luck in the Big East.

Don't need luck. Unlike 'Cuse, we actually win a few games.

I guess when you're not winning, it's easier to switch conferences than actually rebuild your program.

Maybe a bigger dome would help.

Sounds like we both got what we wanted, then.

 

[auggie22]

Too early to tell. Let's wait until you and your blogger friends are manufacturing unrequited rivalries with UNC or Duke. While BC bloggers are manufacturing rivalries with you. And everybody outside of CNY and Chestnut Hill see through the charade. Then I think I got what I wanted.

Until then please continue to frequent our board. Your insistence to linger here, and your unremarkable posts, make you an easy man to read.

 

[mavblues]

Sounds like we both got what we wanted, then.

Let's see,

We've replaced several schools that are relatively easy to beat (Syracuse, BC) with other schools that are relatively easy to beat.

You've replaced losing to UConn with losing to Duke and NC.

Yep, I guess we both got what we wanted.

BTW, I know this isn't a basketball board, but I really can't wait for your first game at Duke, when they start flopping in the pre-game introductions. You guys are going to need about 30 players on your roster just to finish the game without forfeiting.

 

[mavblues]

I love how the 'Cuse fans act like they're so much better than the rest of the BE.

They completely ignore the fact that their entrance into their new conference is causing a mass exodus of the ACC's stronger football programs.

And this is the same conference that accepted BC with open arms...

"Wait a minute Mav, we used to be good 50 years ago, you remember Jim Brown, right? Wait, you mean if you are under the age of 70 you have no idea who Jim Brown was? Well how bout Ernie Davis? No?? Why do you have to keep bringing up the last 20 years of ineptitude? The last place finishes in the Big East, yeah the conference that we now say we were too good to be in?? And please lets not talk about the crumbling Dome and how it looks half empty on TV......and how the upstate NY economy continues to be in the crapper and how the loss of population means we will never be relevant in our own state of NY and cannot draw from the area to even half fill the Dome? Sure CT may be able to fill a 40,000 seat stadium, but its a lot better to half fill the Dome, I swear it is, its the Dome baby. Wait, what do you mean Carrier left Syracuse....when did that happen??? Where did they go, CT? Cant be true, we are talking about Syracuse, the vibrant cultural mecca of NY...Mav, dont you know, we bring the NYC market, we do, I swear we do, just like BC delivers the Boston market, please I am begging you to believe this......."
