there is not enough laughing gas on earth for BC to B1G
With whom are you angry? Whose face got slapped, and who did the slapping?
And it was their previous AD who as commissioner made all these deals with ESPN to protect his sons job with Raycom.
Northwestern and Vandy will be psyched at the idea of taking what would probably amount to a 60+ million dollar a year haircut.
"In his regular Friday appearance on the Bill King Show, Pete Cordelli revealed his sources are telling him that the ACC is seriously considering the firing of low-revenue programs that are a financial drag on the league in order to free up much-needed cash currently going to those programs. Instead, that newfound revenue would be diverted to ACC power brands such as Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina, and Miami."
Thank you. I hate BC/Cuse/Duke as much as the next guy but how in the world is SMU and Calford better than those?
Because they aren't getting paid?

Every time someone posts something like this they show that they secretly wish for their school's athletic department to be downgraded to actual Big East Level. (Is that how this works?)
I thought those schools were looking for greener pastures, not downsizing the ACC. Of course I may be wrong.
Maybe become a Seton Hall-wannabee fan like you?
Clear as mud (again).
The question is can you do it? I guess if you all quit maybe. There might be a way to in essence disband the league then the self important ones form their own league. But that would likely require at least 8 (a majority). I don’t know the details of the membership documents, but I kind of doubt if you can just expel a full member, let alone 7 or 8. It might even require something like 75% to disband. Otherwise, they need to pony up the 1.25 million exit fee plus their rights fees. The remaining members will do alright. People can SAY lots of things. Actually doing it is a very different thing. Ask Florida State and Clemson. I also think UNC is generally playing this smartly. The just need some board members to stifle themselves. If an opportunity presents itself, they can take advantage but they aren’t the ones causing the ruckus. Let the other guys spend their money and earn the bad will. If they win, you get the benefit. If they lose, you don’t have the the taste of shame and humiliation!
I agree on that point. I doubt anybody with any power at UNC is making that argument because I doubt it can actually be done. If kicking out full members, let alone charter members like Duke and Wake were simple, the New Big East would have jettisoned DePaul years ago.
