Playing my way back album by one of my favorite groups...It sort of hit me....like some, I have grown weary of the streams of realignment gossip without significant action. But, it is what we have.

Like a bird without a nest
A stranger in the night
My soul calls out for rest
And the end is not in sight

This must be more CR craziness. Fairfield CT played in the Metro Region instead of in Bristol, CT with the New England Region. I'm not even sure what is happening here but I was never a fan of trick plays in little league. Or whatever this was.

Not a trick play. The kid on first is trying to get caught in a run down so the kid on third can score a run while the defense's attention is on the pickle. South Dakota just had no idea what was going on, so it just kept giving Fairfield free bases.

I thought same thing. Apparently CT and RI are in metro region with NY and NJ.

Both NE and Metro regions held tourney in Bristol, CT

Little League tries to balance the regions by Little League participants. For example, the number of LL players in Massachusetts is greater than the total number of LL participants in CT and Rhode Island. And, in various parts of the country, there are a number of other youth baseball leagues including Cal Ripken, Dixie, ... and there is the impact of club baseball as well. So, participation in Little League can be less than in other states.

Metro is better ball than NE anyway

It appears he's correct. Is it finally our time?!

I don't think the ACC would add another school until after 2030/2031 when the exit fee drops and schools could possibly leave. If they did add a school in the short run, I would think they would take the Memphis offer that they made to the Big 12.

Another alternative for the ACC to get to 9 conference games would be to count the Notre Dame games as conference games (they play 5 ACC schools per year) and have the remaining 12 schools play an extra game against each other.

That's what McMurphy is reporting here: ACC discussing adding 9th league game, but how?

I'm betting the ACC would rather do that than invite anyone

Well, our profile couldn’t be higher for a diminished basketball conference that knows it’s football powers are leaving ASAP.

The ACC is handicapped...in that that FSU and Clemson must approve any invites

Which they have no incentive to do unless their share of the revenue pie doesn't change

Do you have a link to that? Or a copy of the revised by-laws?

Parts of the settlement essentially give Clemson veto power over some ACC decisions, McKenzie said, which creates a “two-tier membership structure where Clemson has greater rights than others” on some fundamental matters.

Whilr not a total veto...the ability to say yay or nay on any future distributions, in effect limits some adds.

The ACC is such a cuckold conference. They let their biggest brand in Notre Dame stay unaffiliated with the conference in Football, then they pull crap like this

My lord it's like the presidents love getting disrespected by their schools

Clemson and FSU literally just holding a gun to the head of everyone else in the conference. Insane. I’m sure that will work out fantastic for them

That references a vote pursuant to specific agreements between the Conference and Clemson and FSU. Do you have copies of those agreements?

According to that article:

"The ACC agreed to make four amendments to its constitution and bylaws regarding its exit fee and grant of rights and also established a new Multi-Media Revenue Policy (for the aforementioned brand initiative rewarding schools with higher TV viewership). The ACC cannot alter any of those changes without Clemson’s consent.

McKenzie said the section about the ACC needing written consent or a “yes” vote from Clemson in order to alter policies regarding its withdrawal fees, revenue distribution and “brand initiative” policies essentially gives Clemson “veto power.”

Here is McKenzie's tweet:



Note that he does not say that Clemson and FSU have veto power over any schools that are to be added.

You have stated several times on this board that Clemson and FSU must approve the addition of any school. I don't think that is correct.
