Adding seats is contrary to all the data that day home attendance is waning
VT was smart to not overbuild Lane when it expanded. They would just be empty seats

Status quo for both ND and the ACC is the best thing that could happen
over the next 8 or more years

$120M exit fee. 2.5 games per year x 14 years equals 35 games. Say $2M per
game so that's another $70M. GOR for non football could be $20M per year so another $280M. All total about $450 to $500M over the next 14 years. And that's a conservative estimate.

There is a huge gap between not being part of the P2 and being relegated
to the MAC! Don't be silly.
If we aren't part of the P2 we'll continue on playing a schedule very similar to what we play now.

Miami AD didn't want VT as permanent rival so it didn't happen
Can't force a rivalry if only one team senses it.

They were physical and physical play is allowed in the tourney. They also
shot better than average from 3.

Teams went max protect against VT which allowed VT to focus on returns
That shift in focus really improved our return game

Probably $15M a year now for non football media rights. If they go B1G it
,could be $20M+. What is the cost to reimburse the ACC for the 5 lost games. Say several million per game. So $125M exit fee and about 30 to $35M per year for GOR and lost games. That would be manageable.

I think this team struggles to get to 21 on anyone this year. Like he said
there is no one on offense that anyone else in the league even recruited.

Because PGA is a stodgy group that wants to maintain their monopoly.
Reality is LIV is just an alternative for the modern era that could easily coexist if PGA got their ass off their shoulders.

Focus on in-state recruits lowers the bar. I know people don't want to
hear it but we can't win focusing on Virginia. The nostalgia of the older fan base is nice, but those days are long gone.

Apples and oranges.
Are you training every day on your job? Are you being trained for a future career?
This isn't the NFL. Not a legit parallel. And the NFL doesn't provide all the other things I mentioned.

Nothing corrupt about the system. The thought that the education and
training isn't of significant value is mind boggling.

They get more than schooling. They get a structured training table,
coaching, exposure, lodging, tutors, etc. There is enormous value in what they receive.

So Cincy moves up after playing in the playoffs. So now they field a
weaker and less experienced team, lose big and get sent down. The team promoted has no relationship to the team that led to the promotion. It makes no sense and doesn't work with college roster turnover.

Not 100% though. Its undoable due to the nature and makeup of college trams
Does the Cincinnati team that put it all together to make the playoffs get promoted for their performance? Because they are going to be a mediocre team after all they lost. It just doesn't work because past performance has no bearing on future performance for 95% of teams.

How do you know they've reloaded before the next season starts. Relegation
flat out can't work in college football.

Packer is going to have a new show from 4-7pm starting late summer. Co-host
if any has yet to be determined. Durham wanted to do more game broadcasting and the rigors of the studio show were complicating things.

Tough legal argument to say let me out of the GOR because my resignation
led to the downfall of the league.

Its not the departing schools ACC media money the remaining schools would
get, it's their media money from their new conference.
