Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

And thery will have our administrators fly out west to make another presentation and they say no thanks.

In all candor I don't see how a court can rule in favor of FSU in a summary judgment.

FSU is basically saying "there really is no case, but as we are a state entity in the state where you are the legal branch, be a pal and rule in our favor".

Well sovereign immunity is a powerful argument. It is essentially, I can do what I want.

As a football only, I can see this being viable. Not optimal, but viable.

Come on, fball has been historically bad. You get that offer you count your blessings and take it without a second thought. Short of the b10 calling or maybe possibly the b12 finally coming to their senses you aren't doing better. Both are unlikely and the pac-6 or 12 or whatever throwing a life raft to uconn fball only is more than they deserve. Your scenario is great cause it comes with the Added bonus of keeping bball in the BE and a chance to improve fball with some solid fball conference mates.

Yeah, but from time to time you'll see a state settle with someone who filed a grievance against them (due to state troopers/state administration/whatever abusing/misusing their authority) because basically they realize they should provide settlement.

They've always had sovereign immunity as a free pass but rarely use it due to the reality that just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should.

If the Florida courts use this for FSU it could have serious repercussions, many of which could end up hurting the state of Florida in the long run.

 

[Stinger92860]

But if FSU wins their case in these grounds- it presents the notion that the state of FL never has to honor any contracts of any kind. That means they can break a three year contract to provide cheddar cheese to public schools in Orlando or whatever. In college football it means apple, fox, nbc, espn, amazon, whatever should have no faith in their next deal. Yikes.

1 year deals for everyone!! Sound famiiar?

.....you do realize I agree with you (except the historically bad part).

It’s the worst possible geographical conference possible which is a red flag.
Even as a football only and charters which are necessary to get to some of these places travel will be huge for an all sport costs and travel will be crazy .
The MW makes $4,000,000 a team
To entice the top AAC schools who are making in excess of $10,000,000 a year to be in for all sports is going to require a bunch of money
I like OSU and WSU but the PAC less USC and UCLA was worth $31,000,000 , and two of the bottom schools are left , how exactly do they get to a number that’s workable.

Fair enough my bad

I will say it's a minor miracle they are only down 7-0 after 15. Hopefully they continue and have a nice drive to start the 2nd and gain some confidence

This makess sense for the air force.

Is this all sports, or football only?

They really went with the anti-Aresco. Talk about concepts of a plan

Say what you want about Aresco but he was a great cheerleader for the league.

 

[Vowelguy]

Just because is in “serious conversations” doesn’t mean the AAC is plan A.

The goal could be to force the PACs hand sooner rather than later, and if not then going to the AAc.

Missed this one yesterday:

The quote....from the New Mexico State AD is a succinct restatement of what we have known,,,and talked about on the Yard.

“That has been my No. 1 goal, to get us in an FBS conference,” Moccia said. “Football is the fat kid on the teeter-totter, right? You have as many other things on one side, and you put down football and [it outweighs everything].”

How can Georgia tell ncaa what to do. I’d ban Georgia from any ncaa sanctioned tournaments.
