USF a Memphis maybe.

GA Tech too

The Big East needs football. Bring it back asap. When the chance to reassemble the Big East as a football conference comes, pounce on it. There’s a lot of talent in the Big East footprint. Give kids that can choose UConn, Cuse, BC and VTech a reason to do so. Give them an east coast league. Rebuild the Big East. Use the population density to catch back up and contend.

That will be the new ACC, not a new NBE.

I agree that a NACC is more likely than a NNBE ( or a NOBE, lol). UConn, Duke, BC, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Stanford/Cal/SMU, maybe WSU/OSU, Notre Dame as an affiliate for 3-5 years until they go B1G, maybe USF, maybe ECU, maybe James Madison. Not a bad scenario given all the potential Armageddon scenarios. For BB, you can get OOC games scheduled with BE rivals like St John's, Providence, Seton Hall, Georgetown to make it more interesting from a traditional rival standpoint.

That would work for me.

I'd assume that there'd be other decent opponents in that revised ACC depending on how realignment shakes out, schools like Pitt, Louisville, or even Va Tech or NC State.

For what it's worth, I believe we have 24 national championships, not 23.

man I miss big east football, would be so much better if we still had it

The 16 school Big East rocked. Great basketball and football. Good times.

I think most of those would land in the Big12.

That all depends on what happens. No matter what it ends up being, he can point to this and claim he knew all along.

Has to be FSU and GoR.

Has that guy been high profile lying for so long that he gathered actual sources or is he still just making everything up?

 

[Kolumbo]

I don't know how or why anyone, anyone, would follow the flug. Every time I click I see an hour long video, he is "not pleasant to look at," he is a total bore, why would anyone watch him? I don't get it.

I'd much rather watch this guy

He make up. He makes conference realignment sound so exciting, like these guys are mobsters etc.

Give credit where where its due. He had USC/UCLA as Big Ten targets years before anyone else.

Greg Flugaur didn't make anything up. He was referring to the fact that the ACC implicitly offered to settle with Florida State in one of its motions.

The ACC said in a filing that Florida State could attempt to repurchase their TV rights. A price was not specified, but indicates a willing to settle (per Flugaur). It had not been raised previously in the lawsuit.

It isn't like that option was never available. The only people who claimed that there wasn't the possibility of buying out of the obligation were random message board posters. The issue is (always was) what the cost would be.

I wonder if that may have been specific positioning to avoid equitable relief. Generally, if money damages aren't sufficient to reward an injured party a court can order specific action. Though I didn't read the filing, I suspect that the ACC is saying that they are not trying to keep FSU in the conference against their will, rather FSU has given up their broadcast rights and will need to buy them back in order to leave. I don't know if that is blinking as much as positioning the controversy in a manner that is likely to be favorable to them.

While I think there will eventually be a settlement, this clause itself is not indicating that. One figure I saw was $572 million, which is an estimate of the media rights for the next 12 years, plus the exit fee. So the ACC is saying if Florida St. is willing to pay that amount, they will host a farewell party for them. It’s a lot of money, of course, and I don’t think the ACC wants to be stuck with Florida St. for twelve more years, they will settle. Also, regarding damages, if all of the schools and the ACC get paid the same amount whether Florida St. is in or out, there doesn’t appear to be any damages.

Could Florida State buy the TV rights for FSU football from the ACC?

That’s an idea raised in the ACC’s motion to dismiss FSU’s lawsuit in Leon County.
