Is this the year that Clawsen is finally poached?

If not him, people are going to come looking for his staff.

Typical Miami. Got their asses kicked on the field and their fans throw cheap shots in the stands.

Miami is terrible right now and I'm here for it.

Tell me this guy isn't longing for the 80s again:

Yeah that’s appropriate given the tragedy earlier this week.

I thought so, too

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

All that stands in Miami's way of finishing 6-6 is Pat Narduzzi.

There was a time when they could tie. I prefer both lose.

Dabo’s loyalty to DJ cost him a CFP this year, no doubt.

Klubnik is going to take them to the CFP next year baring injury and save Dani’s legacy. He’s the truth. Sucks we have to play him.

I’d pump the brakes a bit on that.

Pyne lit up NC’s defense.

We prepared to…. not have to prepare LOL

What a stupid quote.

I was gonna say the same thing.

Pyne lit UNC up and we had 45 points, and should've had 60+ had we not turned the ball over a few times or got conservative.

Mac and his staff are idiots if they didn’t prepare for Klubnik.

 

[irishff1014]

DJ is one of those five star QB’s that just can’t figure it all out.

 

[stlnd01]

Mac and his staff are idiots if they didn’t prepare for Klubnik.

Given the defense UNC called against us I can't say I'm surprised. Weirdly bad defensive coaching on that team.

Feels like this is a done deal.

 

[Huntr]

That's the fee to leave. They still have the GoR, which is a shitload. I think it's FSU trying to throw their weight around and scare the ACC minnows.

Yep, they want uneven revenue sharing.

 

[ACamp1900]

So where would they go??

 

[GATTACA!]

So where would they go??

FSU and Clemson to the SEC

UNC and Miami to the Big10

 

[Irish du Nord]

Big12 for FSU?

 

[ulukinatme]

Ok, here me out...half conference member in the B1G, half conference member in the SEC.

"Why would schools like Boston College, Wake Forest and Syracuse willingly choose to give away millions of dollars each year when the ACC has a contract in place through 2036? A contract that also has a long-term 'grant of media rights' tied to it, presumably meaning that any school who leaves will forfeit the television money it would generate for the next 13 years.

We use the word 'presumably' because no one really knows for sure what would happen if the GOR were to be challenged in court. What we do know is that Florida State and other ACC schools have had attorneys examining every word of that contract — and studying all applicable case law — for months to figure out what arguments might be made for breaking it. The only thing that seems certain right now is it would lead to a protracted legal battle.

Over the weekend, I reached out to Florida State Board of Trustees chair Peter Collins to see if he would shed any light on FSU’s position — particularly about the Grant of Rights, since that topic was not raised in the open forum.

This is what Collins said: “We have a very good handle on the grant of rights.”

Well, OK then.

We’ll all have to make our own assumptions about what that means, because Collins declined to elaborate. But he did open up a bit when I asked about Florida State drawing a line in the sand publicly on Friday.

Collins acknowledged that FSU officials have tried to address their concerns through proper channels with the conference and seen little movement.

“We’re going to continue to talk about it. And we’re going to continue to push,” Collins said. “We have to push. We have to do everything we can to take care of Florida State University. Our primary concern is not the ACC. Our primary concern is Florida State.”

Ira Schoffel: Just how seriously should the ACC take Florida State's frustrations?

Is Florida State bluffing when it openly discusses leaving the ACC? How concerned should the rest of the conference be?

Inside the big-money battle that could decide the ACC's future

With ACC powers Florida State and Clemson making more noise about a revenue gap with the SEC and Big Ten, realignment rumors are running rampant despite a long-term TV deal.

Ho many teams need to leave for the GOR to just dissolve? What if the SEC and B1G both took 4? Or SEC/B1G/Big 12 all take 2?
