oh, he's certainly right sometimes

he reports what he gets from his contacts and sources (some better than others) and if you want to isolate on the B1G, he's actually pretty good. If he says FSU has an offer from the B1G, I'd probably believe him. But right now he's trying to pay the bills by feeding info from the FSU board and someone (I'd guess influential donor) at Clemson. He obviously has zero contact inside the ACC offices (he wasn't ahead of the curve on the ACC adds); they aren't feeding him info like Yormark did. And FSU is not in a good position, legally; no one needs an inside contact to figure that out. If "Look what Swafford did in 2010!" is FSU's best counterpunch...

FSU lawsuit: ACC had ‘self-dealing’ with then-commissioner, son
WBGV • 01/30/24 04:33 PM ET
it's hilarious that FSU is pissed about it now when they knew all along.

Having suspicion about wrongdoing or hearing about it in casual discourse
33laszlo99 • 01/31/24 12:10 PM ET
I just feel that if nobodies like us were questioning the arrangement,
reestuart • 01/31/24 12:40 PM ET
Much of the outrage could be theater.**
33laszlo99 • 01/31/24 12:45 PM ET
The only thing FSU has forgotten in their lawsuit
Vippie1 • 01/31/24 09:07 AM ET
They are REALLY grasping at straws now…**
ombandit • 01/31/24 07:37 AM ET
a biodegradable straw that decomposed in 2013**
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:02 AM ET
I vaguely recall conversations on this very board about that back then.
hokieball • 01/30/24 10:26 PM ET
after the Raycom mess they had several AD's looking over his shoulder

Flugaur show is torching this. Lots of articles in mainstream media
TDVick • 01/30/24 08:34 PM ET
he got you to listen, which is what he wanted**
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:03 AM ET
If FSU thought this was even a halfway plausible argument...
SMU Pony • 01/30/24 09:25 PM ET
It's called a slow drip. They will continue to drop nuggets like this to
JohnsonCItyHokie • 01/31/24 12:39 AM ET
it isn't a nugget; just a political distraction
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:17 AM ET
This sounds consistent with the narrative that was mentioned
TDVick • 01/31/24 03:54 AM ET
Maybe they have receipts, maybe not. FSU may have more surprises that they
33laszlo99 • 01/30/24 11:19 PM ET
nvm
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:30 AM ET
At least keep it to stuff from after FSU signed the Grant of Rights.
HOO86 • 01/31/24 05:59 AM ET
A judge may not love that
SMU Pony • 01/31/24 04:15 AM ET
He is as good as anyone reporting on conference realignment.
WBGV • 01/30/24 09:20 PM ET
he's more entertainment than journalism
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:46 AM ET
Perhaps, but he now has a track record of being right
WBGV • 01/31/24 09:54 AM ET
oh, he's certainly right sometimes ◄
daveinop • 01/31/24 01:38 PM ET
Probably true, but do they have any evidence other than conjecture?
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/30/24 07:27 PM ET
and yet they didn't leave when Maryland did **
daveinop • 01/30/24 07:13 PM ET
We know FSU doesn't like Cal, Stanford, and SMU.
HOO86 • 01/30/24 06:00 PM ET
Add Miami to that**
VTCALS72 • 02/01/24 09:09 AM ET
In a sense yes, Miami.
