ACC Rumblings - The Late Kick with Josh Pate

In short, Josh knows what I have known for quite a few months. Link provided below to his show from last night (Friday). Starts at about the 28 minute mark. Here is the transcript regarding his ACC water gif this past week: Can you expound on your water gif from Twitter this week in relation to the ACC? Yeah, I think the ACC is kind of, sort of screwed. I think the future of the conference will look radically different then it does now. There are powerful entities that are well motivated and well financially backed that want out. In other words, FSU and they're not alone. I think they're going to get out. I put that gif out earlier this week because I have not talked about this publicly by the way. I have acquaintances shall we say. I have contacts in the legal community. These are not contacts I would normally have. I came about these contacts in a very interesting way. But I have them. And they're on the legal side of this and they're not necessarily on the football side. They're just on the legal side. I don't even know if they're aware of what Florida State's mascot is, but they're on the legal side. And I've gotten as much intel as they can give me through out this whole thing. And they've always been very, very guarded. They talk like classic legal types would talk. I can't say this, I can't tell you this, I can't tell you that, I can't respond to that. Well, earlier this week when they said, "Hey, get ready. It's coming." I put the gif out. I don't know what the timeline is. I just know that this is the kind of person who is not one for hyperbole. Frankly I don't even think they care about the ramifications over on the college side or the conference realignment side. But they know I do. And they know people like us do. So they threw that at me and I asked a bunch of questions and I got some answers I can't share, but the long and short of it is I think that the reconstruction or reconfiguration of the ACC is pretty imminent. And I don't certainly know action is going to happen before this season. But it wouldn't stun me at all if we heard news on this front before this season starts. And that's what? Nine Saturdays away. So yeah, if that gives you any idea of what kind of time table we're working on it wouldn't surprise me at all if we had some breaking news stories or several breaking news stories. And knowing some of the folks that work on those stories I can whole heartedly tell you those stories are in the oven as we speak. So that's what the water gif was about. ** Edited by INSIDE99 at 6/22/2024, 11:43:19 AM

Stech 06/23/24 11:26 AM ET
He said it could or couldn't. Bet he is right. Not attacking.
Seikoh_04 06/23/24 10:34 AM ET
Pate believes that an ACC’s reconfiguration is about to happen (imminent)
WBGV 06/23/24 08:53 AM ET
