I wouldn't go without some kind of northern partnerYou shouldn't hate to say it, it is vital for our future. We need to join a conference.

How about Army?I wouldn't go without some kind of northern partner
Are you kidding? Look at the last rounds of realignment. AAC schools UCF, Cincy, and SMU got seats. It almost looks like it's better to be in the AAC than not. Lol. I kid, kindaIf we end up in the AAC as football only then its probably safe to say our last conversations with the B12 and ACC were not very positive....ie - they offered no path.
It's funny you bring up boxing because I wouldn't be surprised if sometime in the next decade or two they put weight limits on positions. It would solve a lot of the injury issues imoI wouldn't have a problem with it. Football sucks compared to what it was. All my favorite players were the guys who hit the hardest LT, Steve Atwater, John Lynch... They've basically legislated out the way those guys played and it's lost a lot of appeal for me.
The sport has already gone significantly more poor inner city and regional, it is getting more and more like boxing in terms of who plays. I don't know what Gen Z is into other than hanging out by themselves.

Referring to basketball in a realignment thread is just silly. Almost no one but us cares.
UConn never took fundraising seriously until recently. It never made sense to me but we should sail past those schools soon in endowment.
I'll be honest, and I said this awhile back, our home conference slate is so poor the next few years that joining the AAC for FB only wouldn't hurt our schedule. In fact, the idea of Temple or USF might be more interesting than Georgia St and some other random schools.
There’s a lot of things that we did not take seriously and still do not take seriously. Our endowment was one of them. (We’re not sailing past them any time soon.) Our athletic facilities were another. Football was yet another.
We acted like we were Rhode Island or New Hampshire for way, way too long and it’s killed us.
Realignment was a contact sport and we never treated it like that - Cincy did, Houston did, UCF did, SMU did, BC did, Miami did, UL did, Rutgers did. Syracuse and Pitt didn’t, but they didn’t have to because they were good in 1950 and that somehow was enough.
A lot of really weird crap had to happen to put us in this spot, but we absolutely did not help ourselves in any fashion.
Football only and we will do a bball series with FAU and Memphis and a women’s bball with Usf.

I guess. It was an interest issue but I guess I could talk myself back into Temple and USFWhy? Travel isn't an issue when it is 4 road games per year. We're already traveling all over the country as an independent. Temple would be our northern rival.
football is done unless some unexpected realignment happens in the next year or two, or FSU goes full crazy and tries to leave the ACC extra earlyI say this again - what is the logical path forward for our football team?
In my head it’s (disgustingly) maybe beg the AAC to come back for a few years til we build up enough goodwill to maybe get into the BIG XII or remnants of post-dissolution ACC. It’s not ideal but being an independent isn’t doing us any favors financially, scheduling-wise, or bowl-game wise.
That’s what I’m terrified of. But that being said, every non P-5 school isn’t giving up their programs. ECU, Tulane etc. aren’t just cutting them. We need figure out the next best non p5 option.football is done unless some unexpected realignment happens in the next year or two, or FSU goes full crazy and tries to leave the ACC extra early
football is not done. Under Mora, we will continue to climb higher in the rankings.football is done unless some unexpected realignment happens in the next year or two, or FSU goes full crazy and tries to leave the ACC extra early

This is Sprint football.It's funny you bring up boxing because I wouldn't be surprised if sometime in the next decade or two they put weight limits on positions. It would solve a lot of the injury issues imo
no, not a lawyer.Aren't you a lawyer? Why do you keep repeating the "FSU leaves the ACC" absurdity?
It'll never get as extreme as sprint football. I'm thinking more likeThis is Sprint football.
