but maybe that's just me.
I think what is happening is very sad like she said. I think Washington State and Oregon State will be next to the MWC and I think Stanford and Cal will go to the B1G, but wanted to be last to preserve their image of academics first with their staff and academic donors. Now that the B1G has it so non-revenue sports can stay home for the regular season, they go as soon as WS and OS leave. (by the way WS & OS will have a better chance of making the playoff) She pretty much said all of that, heck she might even check this board.
Lastly, she nailed the FSU noise. She knows that the Magnificent 7 or Elite 8 if you add ND are very unlikely to sit still, they just are waiting for the right invites to the Power 2, probably after the season like Herbstreit said a couple of weeks ago. I think the rest of the ACC heads to the B12, except for Duke goes where UNC goes. I think both the SEC or B1G would take Duke if UNC goes there, basketball with NCAA expansion will start paying out bigger money. Also, without Divisions, you don't need even numbers, but Duke is like Stanford, they want to stay out of the fray until the end, to appease their academic staff and donors, and then say we had no choice. Sound like ND too? Yep it does.

...every freaking year. How many times was she right? A big fat zero!
Also everything she seemed to write about appeared to be sourced from the Miami message boards.
Lazy as crap, and although a broken clock is right twice a day, she has yet to make a correct prediction.

I wouldn't put Heather Dinich on the Bishop Sycamore beat.
And yeah. New posters coming on here from other conferences have no idea what we suffered by having her as our conference "beat writer." Just another way that ESPN was always giving us the shaft. Puttin' the JV writer on us. #NeverForget

Yeah. We know her resume. She still sucks.
Although props for having three boys. Gotta respect it.

Can't see how she got to where she is in the profession.
Not interesting at all. Grating to listen to.
And how did she of all people survive the recent firings at ESPN? Hmm.
