  1. Team was completely gutted by injuries but rebounded late to win 5 of last 7 (including a win over Arizona).
  2. He was in the Elite 8 in 2021 and has recruited at an elite level. Plenty to be excited about w/ Enfield.
  3. Yep. Dunk City! Pretty incredible what he was able to do with virtually zero resources at FGCU. If he had stayed another year he'd likely be the winningest coach in Trojan basketball history.
  4. He was canned b/c he is in no way prepared to handle the rigors of the ACC. He was a mediocre AAC coach and his record/recruiting proves it. He'll probably do ok for what Rice expects (which is nothing).
  5. Took FCGU to the Sweet 16. Eight appearances in the NCAA tournament including another Sweet 16 and an Elite 8. Also regarded as one the truly elite recruiters in the country. Signed a six year extension with USC after last season.
  6. Rice has all but given up on athletics. Its sad but them's the breaks if you don't adapt to where college athletics is headed. Prayers up for the feisty night birds!
  7. 20 wins yet finished the year losing 6 of the last 7. Also blew multiple double digit second half leads. Combine that with his reluctance to embrace NIL and his goose was cooked. Rob is a really nice man though. Very thoughtful and well-liked by players and opposing coaches. I wish him well at Rice.
  8. There will continue to be jockeying between the AAC/MWC/PAC to create a "best of the rest" conference that gets the conference champion access to the playoff.
  9. Good luck with the legal argument that the GoR, willingly and lawfully agreed to by every ACC member institution, is unenforceable. The legal precedent/argument is clearly on the side of the ACC. They know it. FSU knows. Every other ACC institution knows it as well.
  10. Ah yes nothing like ESPN trying to actively de-value its own property (ACC) so that they can let FSU walk over to FOX/Big 10, a direct competitor. ESPN is locked into a sweetheart deal with the ACC through 2036. They have absolutely zero incentive to de-stabilize the league and risk losing valuable properties to their competition. Brilliant stuff champ!
  11. Wrong again. Congress is absolutely going to get involved here. Grandstanding and poking their noses where it doesn't belong is what Congress does best.
  12. Clemson was never an option for him. unless he wanted to walk on.
  13. Your scenario will be too exclusionary and would result in the mother of all antitrust lawsuits. Big 10 and SEC will throw the Big 12/ACC a bone and keep them in the loop to avoid Congress getting involved.
  14. and irrespective of if/when FSU can get out the obvious moves are to add SDSU, USF, and Tulane. Is it the SEC or the Big 10? Nope. Is it the AAC? Not even close. Being in a conference with Stanford/CAL/Louisville/GA Tech/Miami/Duke/WF/NC State/PITT/BC/Syracuse is light years better than the AAC even if there are a couple defections along the way.
  15. Your lack of understanding of the GoR and the ACC's motivations for enforcing it are staggering. There is ZERO incentive for the ACC to cooperate with FSU and allow them to exit for simply a monetary fee. They have every legal and fiscal reason to fight them tooth and nail (which they will do and are doing) b/c once the precedent is set you could see Clemson and UNC follow suit. FSU will still be an ACC member in a decade. Book it.
  16. There will absolutely be a Power 2. There is no question on that. The Big 12/ACC will be a rung below but will still have access to the playoff and the ability to schedule Big 10/SEC schools in non-conference. The entirety of the G5 is going to be playing in a separate league in the next 5-10 years.
  17. LOL. That's just the monetary piece to exit the conference. The ACC would still own the rights to FSU's home games for the next 13 years. There's nothing they can do about that. This won't be resolved until the early 2030's (at the earliest). Signed contracts have consequences. Sorry FSU.
  18. SMU is absolutely in the same peer group as the majority of the ACC (FSU, NC State, Clemson, VA Tech, GA Tech, WF, Miami, Syracuse, PITT, etc.) Stanford and CAL are two of the top 10-15 schools in the nation. Being associated with them (as well as Duke/UNC/Notre Dame/UVA) will only help SMU. Rising tide raises all boats. The AAC is a wild bag of academic institutions ranging from elite (Rice) to atrocious (Memphis). Every ACC school except Louisville is a USNWR Top 80 institution, including SMU.
  19. lol. Likewise please send pics of UNT home games against FAU, Charlotte, Rice, Tulsa, Temple, and the rest of the AAC island of misfit toys.
  20. Guess we'll find out over the next couple of years when FSU, Clemson, OU, UNC, BYU, TCU, and Notre Dame come to Ford.
