Charles Fischer Administrator No. 3 Share Posted July 31, 2023 My reaction to a click-bait two-paragraph article like that? More nonsense...yeah, Clemson and Florida State are going to break their ACC contract this week. 1 1 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistertea No. 5 Share Posted July 31, 2023 They did preface that blurb by saying it was rumor. That is journalistic integrity, for sure. I must admit that would make for a heck of a conference. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike West No. 6 Share Posted July 31, 2023 That is a major stretch. Did anyone catch the ads? LOL 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceaniaDuck Author No. 7 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Lol! I understand all the skepticism. I myself didn't believe the rumors about Colorado until it happened. And with GK painfully silent about the PAC-12 media deal, I'm not surprised anymore about bombshells happening within the conference lol. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDuck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted July 31, 2023 In light of all the so-called rumors going on, I thought this was an interesting cynical take of what college football is turning into. I know it's from our hated dogs up North. But... What Should the UW Do For a Conference? Here's a Super Idea The future, at least for college football, looks preordained. https://www.si.com/college/washington/football/what-should-the-uw-do-for-a-conference-heres-a-super-idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 10 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Sorry for the dupe post. This rumor belongs in Fantasy Land but what in the heck do I know? I do not see B1G Prez taking in non-AAU member schools Clemson and FSU when the B1G doesn't need the money and already extends coast-to-coast. Why would Ohio State, Michigan, etc., want to recruit against Clemson and FSU? Who is going to come up with $60M plus for each school in alimony payments? The only reason this has a heartbeat IMO would be Fox Network's determination to hose over ESPN. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatOrlando No. 11 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Can't wait till actual football games begin. It's really tiresome to hear about politics in sports. Isn't sports supposed to be a distraction, something fun? Secret board meetings, media deals, conference loyalties vs royalties. Sounds like some soap opera to me. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Waddler Moderator No. 14 Share Posted July 31, 2023 IF the rumor is true, they’d have to rename the B1G, the JL18 - for jet lag. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
