  1. FSU comes to Dallas next year. It's now our Superbowl.
  2. We're making more money even without media rights in the ACC than we (and you) were making in the American. It's still a win.
  3. FSU's claim is ridiculous. They are literally gaining additional revenue from us (and Cali) joining and looking at the top 25 rankings we improve the conference. It's a silly argument like much of their filing. Conference certainly could fall apart but if it does as a result of this filing it's going to be abject chaos. It would invalidate the Big12 GOR also which uses a similar structure.
  4. 6-6 teams tend to do poorly when they have to play their TE at QB much of the game. What's your point?
  5. If it collapses to the level what remains of the ACC is AAC level, then it doesn't matter. Everyone outside of B10/SEC at that point is truly just a new FCS and we are all scaling back spend considerably. It's worth the gamble when the downside is just back where we started. That said FSU's argument is phenomenally weak. They're essentially saying (as disclosed so far): 1. The contract they signed repeatedly is not fair 2. They can't compete for championships in the ACC (history does not support this plus the playoff further weakens their argument) 3. Adding 3 teams made finances worse (despite FSU set to get more money because of it) and hurts strength of schedule (despite SMU Cal and Stanford being at least in the middle of the ACC by any poll or calculation) There has to be something more to it or it's all performative.
  6. Even if FSU was successful, are you suggesting it's not a better conference than AAC?
  7. I knew he was successful, but not hundreds of millions successful. Wow. Interesting model. It's almost like a full outsourcing - pay the coach to win, and he handles funding the personnel as part of the total contract
  8. Already has a bushel of P3 transfers. What's going on there? Do they have money somehow? https://247sports.com/college/charlotte/Season/2024-football/TransferPortal/?institutionkey=24318
  9. Cal plays at SMU next year. You can come see him in person
  10. It's crazy anyone thinks programs are going to willingly let this get corrupted by Title IX. What an unbelievable and unfair distribution of money that would be.
  11. You're giving them too much credit. They put practically zero thought into who the G5 team would be beyond "undefeated". They could not care less about Liberty vs SMU vs Troy vs anyone else. They spent all their energy trying to figure out how they would plausibly get out of the mess of no SEC team in the top 4. The 12 team playoff will resolve this, or at least the FSU screw job. There's still going to be the issue of what G5 conf champ gets in. I don't think most of us feel all that disappointed. We knew after we screwed the pooch against a bad TCU team that this might happen. Frankly I don't feel it's all that beneficial to the program to get nuked, probably, by Oregon with our backup QB right when we move up.
  12. ESPN current plan: 1. Reward not playing tougher opponents by G5s, and punish P3's doing it 3. Put undefeated, played nobody 13-0 up against monster opponents, blow them out 3. Playoff will take the highest rated G5 conf champion..... But because of blowouts stipulate the must be in top 25 4. Don't put any G5's in top 25 because they don't play difficult opponents 5. Push G5 out of playoff entirely because they never qualify
  13. Liberty has the lowest SOS in FBS. But we lost to a weak TCU. That's on SMU. Toss up, no idea who's going to get it. We would smash Liberty even with our backup QB though
  14. If you were in CUSA you'd be one of those two sitting undefeated
  15. According to this off to Mississippi St. with Lebby. Accurate? https://x.com/PeteThamel/status/1730001166581284974?s=20
  16. They can't reign it in. Any attempt to do so violates the supreme Court ruling. Let's say I offer $50k a season in exchange for an interview after each game i put on YouTube. Boom. Now I've used their N/I/L to drive traffic to my YouTube. Problem solved. Plus, you don't want it to be more strictly managed. Only players at the biggest schools with the biggest following will be worth someone paying them. Then only the UT's and Ohio states can do NIL, and consolidate even more power. The current system HELPS the UNTs more than hurts. Despite a few QBs getting crazy money, almost all other NIL contracts are not much money. With some organization you CAN compete in that level
  17. You drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an $80,000 BMW. That's my name!
  18. I don't understand why UNT keeps getting smashed by the portal. Data shows most G5s coming out ahead. We aren't talking big money for something like a high G5 low P4 receiver. I know you could fund some of these guys.
  19. I really don't understand this characterization. At the end of the day we took a reduced share of the payout just like the PAC teams going to the B10 did and like most other G5 move ups did. We just were able to agree to a bigger reduction than others.
  20. Every team that moves up has to buy their way in. We just had to pay a little bit more, but we're still getting good return for our money and we're still going to make more income in the ACC than AAC. If it all blows up and we fall back down to the AAC, at least we tried, instead of huddling around an uncommitted admin firing the coach every 5 years pretending you'll get different results. " “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”"
  21. Have to pony up and keep our DC. Defense has been so critical this year, and we're going to have to really rely on it vs Tulane with Stone out.
  22. Our average has increased every year for at least 5+ years. Unlike UNT, we don't have many hundreds of thousands of apathetic alumni sitting around DFW just not choosing to go, we have to build the fan base. 2023 attendance averages: UNT: 17,761 SMU: 22,616 But consider the relative alumni populations. UNT has 324,000 alumni living in DFW. SMU has 60,000. So take attendance by % of alumni living in DFW: UNT: 5% SMU: 38% This doesn't even include students which would skew it even more. Who has bad attendance?
  23. We were unofficially in the PAC with SDSU for a good year before it became public and even before that it was clear to Aresco we were aggressively tying to move up and might be successful. PAC blew up. Bad luck. Snuck in to ACC. Good luck. Either way not a surprise to the AAC. Also, again, attendance smack from UNT is insane. You have enough students to sell out our (and your) entire stadium, meanwhile we only have 6000 undergrads. And yet we've had significantly higher attendance than you this season.
  24. Y'all are so crazy. Our success is your success. It was clear we were going to leave AAC, so you were added to replace. You're welcome. Our success in establishing ourselves as a solid P3 team will put our recruiting clearly on that level, and that will allow players on the upper G5 level we might have recruited to filter down to your level, raising you up. You're welcome!
