a few things about this are striking
May 20, 2012, 2:16 AM
|
|
The pods are all balanced and geographic
The money from a league with Texas, nd, ou, and fsu is bigger then big
Nd has history with both pitt and Miami, wv has deep rooted history with pitt.

Same here we're pretty much in every "source" so there has to be some truth to it, but i just don't see Miami getting a invite at this point in time due to the NCAA violations. ND will push to remain independent.

May 20, 2012, 7:50 AM

there are a number of factors that could kill it completely....
1. the number of teams willing to schedule them is going to evaporate if leagues go to 16 games
2. TV money is better with leagues than their own agreement
3. they are going to be locked out of any big bowl games with these agreements in place with the other leagues.

It would be 4 of the top 25 football schools in history and 3 of the top 15 in the last 30 years.

If we kept the canes, noles, and jackets in our "pod" I am officially all in. ND would also be icing on the cake. I would love to go to South Bend a nd relive the story that Lightbulbbill told.

I have to agree about Miami and ND being iffy. Clemson gives prescence in SC, GT in Ga, and FSU in FL, so they would have the same exposure in the SECs largest TV markets of Atlanta and Florida.
I see each team playing their POD teams and then 2 from each POD, a total of 9 conference games.
my question is what if Clemson and SC end up playing each other in this new bowl game! Can we see the rivalry 2x a year? It would be a possibility.

It would be a possibility. WOW. That would be a great year for the Palmetto State. Imagine how much trash talking we would have to participate in. Tnet would need to double their bandwidth for about 6 months.

No Way We See USuC in the Champions Bowl
May 20, 2012, 8:49 AM
|
|
No way USuC will ever win the SEC, or be runner up to a playoff berth SEC Champion. They're garbage and will return to battling Vandy and Kentucky for a couple of league wins once the Ole Sack retires. When UF and Tenn get back to normal they will be waist deep again just like they were. All they have to show for the East being in the gutter since Tebow left is one division title.

Pitt just filed a lawsuit to get into the ACC sooner. That says to me that this is a little more unlikely to happen. If Notre Dame and PItt are missing who would the back-ups be? Vtech and Virginia? (Because of the Virginia legislature they may need to be a package deal)..
Anyway, here is hoping

the bigeast i think. the request for relief would still stand if that's the case no matter where pitt was eventually heading.
funny pitt would be dropping $5mil, then another $20mil within a years time to drop 2 leagues.

Nice colorful pods.You should have been a painter.
I used to paint by numbers,but in your color scheme two things just don't match up.One is Pittsburg is joing the ACC in 2014,and in all my reading,in all the commentary I have seen or heard the Big 12 has an interest in FSU,Miami,and or Clemson, but I do not recall anyone discussing Ga.Tech.

Atlanta is a college football gold mine with UGA, GT, Clemson, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and FSU all within shouting distance. It would give the Big 12 prescence in the mouth of the SEC and the SEC Championship Game.
Very smart move if it can be done, plus it adds to the academics of the conference.

that it wouldn't be just CU and FSU. For the BIG 12 to get this TV/Bowl deal I feel they've promised to go to 16 teams and I wouldn't be surprised to wake up and see the headlines claiming up to 6 teams are leaving the ACC for the BIG 12. But then again ND and Uconn/Penn St to the ACC headline wouldn't surprise me either.

There is NO WAY Notre Dame even remotely considers a move the ACC. It's either The Big 10 or the Big XII for them.
