Correct the SEC champ game is a $$ printing machine for the network

Wait until you see how ez the AcC will..
Be to kill...once ESPN/ Disney decide not to renew the TV deal, the GOR will be null and void and it will be every man for himself...

Got infected by the ACC "football culture"
we are no longer a"knock your dick in the dirt program" like we were after we left the big East and first joined.
We have some really good kids, but no " alpha dog" guys like Jake Grove and others who set the tone and willed lesser talented teams to win...leadership comes from within....
WVU is missing the same edge, no Mike Comptons that were just filthy nasty anymore on either roster

Terrified thinking what a guy like Bill OBrien..
Schemes for our D...he will have safety and LBs looking/ running to the opposite side of the field as Castellano and their RB run untouched into their vacated spaces for 70 yard TDs

Coach Brown is very impressive..
He was Kirbys #1 recruiter. Saw the all access on SU football, he is no nonsense, coaches the kids hard and seems like he's got a lot of the Kirby/ Sabam mentality of holding people accountable...
He will re start the pipeline of NJ high school guys going to play at SU and make them pretty competitive quickly.
ElijahbRobinson was a Home run hire as his DC as well

Disagree. They are a national brand...
2 national championships, great uniforms ( the traditional ones) , talent rich state, school is easy to get into, smoking hot co eads, an HBCU right there in the state capital close to campus. The ingredients are all there for them to return to greatness. They were dominant at one point, the streak of top 5 finishes will be hard to match

Have heard they are exploring PE $$
To raise capital...
Either way , the FsU alum alum view staying in Acc as slow death and untenable and will take pain in the short term for what they perceived is to be the future of the game/ tv revenue streams...in VTs case I would hope the BOv and AD is in its an every man for himself mode and not worry about hurting remaining ACc members feelings...

Hey guys didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest re FSU info..
Texted the a guy a few times more last night, he pretty tight lipped on details..
Will say his brother is a prominent lawyer in FL( also a fsu alum), I think this is where his info coning from , not university.
As for those who question the logistics, my long-standing views has been the TV networks are going to drive this whole thing and they will do whatever they think puts $$ in their picket and if it means colliding and violating anti trust stuff and blowing up conferences( see pac 12) to make what they want happen ,it's going to happen.
Finally, jmo I getvthe impression FSU does not really fear the " wrath" of jim Phillips or the Acc...I mean cmon would you if we were in their shoes?? The GOR will go away and I'm sure the 440 million will be negotiated well down once the Acc is done...

They will play an Acc schedule..
As an independent and let the Acc keep the revenue as part of exit fee. That's what he's being told..
Like I said he really doesn't care, his 50 yrd k ine seats are part of the Doak renovation and when they tried to relocate him to the new end zone club , he pulled the plug on tickets and pretty much all his giving..no are to grind, that's just what he's being told from long time sources that he still maintains a relationship with.He doesn't care one way or another and thinks cfb is screwed and going in a direction he's not really interested in anymore

Like I said , don't shoot the messenger
But he was the one that told me mid season that the coaches had been suddenly pulled off the recruiting road the year Jimbo left for Texas AM. Just said something was up and that's what he was being told and a few weeks later Jimbo took the TAMU job. He's not a guy that hyperbole, nor really cares that much about college football anymore

My very plugged in to FSU board and admin buddy says Aug 15 is..
The day FSu announces they are leaving the Acc and joining B10. Says they will play this year as an independent then a full B10 schedule in 25...
Don't shoot the messenger on this one, this is a 40 year Seminole booster that usually sat in Presidents suite once a year until he decided he'd rather spend his fall weekends with his grandkids and friends on 30A in his house in Watercolor...he honestly doesn't really care anymore either way but said 2 very reliable sources have said the same thing. Final Details still being worked out on exit fee / dollar amount...
That's all I gots

Disagree with both you and Will. This time the Tv networks..
will call the shots on what they what the final picture to look like. The school presidents/administrators will have no choice but to go along with an invite (should one be extended) where the $$ allows the main revenue driver to compete and not destroy the rest of the non Rev sports...The ACC will be squeezed out of existence, just like the PAC 12 was...get ready for some low-ball offers from ESPN etc to keep the league intact followed up by the phrase " well we tried" as the final dominoes fall...And i dont think AAU accreditation will matter one bit for the B10

i suspect the gameplan will be similar to what they did vs AU and to limit
VT possessions from our offense which is our strength by going for it on 3rd and 4th downs. Our best bet is to score quickly and have them play from behind and take them out of that gameplan

The QB Pavia is a beast. Was sitting in Jordan Hare watching him shred
and run over the Auburn defense and keep the ball away from AU offense for most of the afternoon by making first downs on 3rd and 4th and short all afternoon. Reminded me of one of the GT games against the Paul Johnson offenses, you could see the panic on the Auburn sideline once they got down a few TDs realizing they had very few possesions left in the game and were going to need to score on all of them to win..

A. Believe the networks have been colluding to make an NFL lite type...
Power League based on Brands and fan bases. 2020 was the trial run, where the saw there was interest without fans in the stadiums which is how the NFL model works. The stadiums/parking etc is for the owners. The fans are insignificant in all of this going forward

Brock is really good imo. The other team i like is the Sat night SEC ..
Channel group with Tom Hart, Jordan Rodgers and Cole Cubelic on the sidelines. Entertaining and very knowledgable. The Cole Cubelic podcast called Cube Talk on youtube is great if you are a hard core college football junkie...
Years ago I heard Brock on an interview about top High school qbs about to enter college. He said he had gone to one of the Elite 11 camps or something like that and I think DJ Ungulelee, Cj Stroud and a few others were there. Said Bryce Young was a 165 lb skinny guy but was so heads and shoulders above everyone there in his ability to process information and read defenses that there was no doubt in his mind he would be a superstar

correction- it was Darrel Dickey not Norvell who was the co -oc and yes
he was the one that stayed behind.
Fuente retained Zohn Burden( which turned out to be a terrible decision) and hired Jafar Williams from Rutgers to replace Wiggins after he left which was a definte downgrade.
I think he also let Brian Mitchell go who I always thought did a fairly solid job.
The Galen Scott fiasco was the real killer, as he was reported to be the "bad cop" on the staff when the team needed a kick in the pants

except that the staff that he built Memphis with didnt come with him...
he had 3 outstanding assistants, 2 of which became Head coaches (Norvell and Barry Odom) and arguably the next best assistant Holman Wiggins was plucked away by Alabama and look at the guys that he has put in the NFL in the last 5 years!
J Ham and Fuente's other hires and retentions (other than Bud/Wiles) were not anywhere on the level of the 3 aformentioned

Hes building s pretty top notch staff and support team...
He at least recognizes his limitations from an x/o s perspective and is addressing it.
In the new college football model Deion IS the brand and the culture and is developing a model to be successful in an eta of portal/ NIL...
I think he will be successful as long as the coaches can come up with a cohesive vision on wat they want both sides of the ball to look like and rely on Prime to supply the inputs...
