The biggest thing we lose is the ability to unilaterally do awesome stuff like when the B1G said they weren't going to play in 2020 and we said "lol we will" (along with the satisfaction of pissing off ESPN). That has obvious value, but its exhausting to deal with this crap while the ACC can't...

I'm going to be honest, it would be difficult for me to dislike any scheduling model more than our current setup. So tired of playing extremely boring ACC schools half the year. FSU/Miami were the only schools in the conference that came with any built in juice. Miami has dodged us so often...

Yes Fortuna says it early in the podcast.

Bingo. Our absolute worst case scenario is going to the B1G/SEC with no notable concessions. Most schools outside those clubs would kill to get into them. The SEC knows: 1) We are the last truly huge property that isn't locked up long- term, 2) that we're in the heart of B1G's geographic...

I think it's interesting that this MOU exists and nobody knew it was being agreed to and nobody would know about it currently if not for ND being left out on Sunday. Makes you wonder what other types of deals and arrangements have been made that are not known publicly. It also interests me...

Sorry I don't follow.

I don't think the ACC teams will be eager to help us fill out our schedules in October/November if we just lit their conference on fire.

Didn't mind his entire statement when I listened to it. It's obvious that the one line is going to get grabbed and posted everywhere because we live in a Twitter clapback hellscape, but I agree with about 80% of what he said.

The BK exit was so quick it caught everyone flat footed. We have to learn to be more prepared.

It's insane how when I was in college that late afternoon ESPN block was considered must watch TV by everyone I knew. Now I've not watched ESPN other than games for years.

That's my point though. You don't schedule this while the story is still front page news if you're essentially doing your corporate annual meeting and checking a box. No one who is reading these quotes on news sites or Twitter is getting tte context that this is a regular meeting. They are...

The time to do that was in your initial written statement or yesterday. Doing another press conference after a 24 hour media blitz simply to reiterate that you should've been in is a bad idea. The goal was always to get people to recognize that something fishy occurred. That was recognized...

Isn't it three months since his source (read: himself) was incorrect about a Freeman contract in the range of $14M being announced today?

Every dork has his day

Same here. I'm a big boy and knew large parts of this were bought and paid for, but I didnt think they would dare be so brazen about it. That's really the shock for me. I thought for us to get screwed over it would need to happen in the dark. They just shot us in broad daylight.

CBS and NBC has to be pretty pissed about how shitty their product is right now. Particularly NBC which is getting saddled with trash like Minnesota matchups in their prime time slot.

I'm sorry I didn't consider your feelings when I pointed out that you said something that was literally contradicted by the example being used. I'm just saying stuff happens. Big names leave schools because their coaches are fired all the time. Probably less than previously because NIL is...

Well he did transfer

I don't know that it would come to this but the mere existence of the SEC provides the opportunity for leverage. The SEC expanding into the North through a scheduling deal with ND and horning in on NBC night games would have to be a "oh shit" moment for the B1G.

Sampson on today's podcast said something crazy. Was asked if the feeling of being snubbed would cause an uptick in administrative support or NIL funding. Pete's response was not really because "Marcus Freeman wants for nothing at Notre Dame. NOTHING." Said the Board of Trustee/admin's...
