Realignment talk not going away
If we go another round of realignment and the ACC gets gobbled up: SEC: FSU, Clemson, UNC, Duke B1G: ND, Miami, GT, UVA B12: Pitt, Louisville, NCSU, VT There is no way Stanford and Cal will hang out with the remainders: Syracuse, Boston College, Wake Forest, SMU And there is no way in hell they’d be able to go independent. They aren’t Notre Dame and wouldn’t have a TV deal nor access to the CFP/major bowls. So their options will be Big 12 or PAC12 or reform an ACC with UConn fb, Memphis, USF, Temple, Rice and…? If they don’t kiss and make up with the Big 12 the PAC12 is their most likely landing spot.

I doubt it. The PAC12’s ultimate goal would be to get Cal and/or Stanford back eventually. There is no way either of those two would ever deign to share a conference with Sac State nor San Jose State. The PAC adding Fresno State is already a hurdle for tree and Berkeley that isn’t helping (both had already accepted that they’d be slumming it with SDSU prior to joining the ACC for their media market).

Sub-Educated Cretins: The SEC screenshot mega-thread
They want more rules so that Texas will abide by those rules like we did previously. Once those limits are in place, Bama and UGA will just spin up the bag game again. Fuck’em

Eight or Nine Game SEC Schedule
$80 million is probably about right. $50 million is way low. Live sport TV rights still have not plateaued so I’d still take the over. If ESPN truly doesn’t value most OOC games (which is debatable) then $811 million divided by the 8 current conference games would be roughly $101 million. The SEC is under contract so this is still being negotiated without any outside bidders. I assume the price will not be a straight proportional increase since ESPN has most of the control. Would be curious to see the aggregated financials when half the conference loses an annual home game and likely they can pencil in a team or two being removed from bowl eligibility as well. Not to mention the potential cost of not making the CFP cut line by adding that extra loss. Are those negatives offset by the increase with their TV rights?

Most of the 136 teams fly commercial a majority of the time. The biggest teams charter often, and mid level teams may charter for select away games to avoid layovers on commercial flights. This is why Penn State was lobbying for the Big Ten to partially fund a larger runaway in state college (so the other teams can charter their directly). Flying in a ~200 person football program directly to State College requires multiple planes otherwise they have to take a big plane to Pittsburgh and then have to drive 2 hours.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
How did the portal not “work” for Ole Miss? In the last 60 years Ole Miss has finished with 10 wins ranked in the top 15 a total of 6 times but half of those (3) have come in the last 4 years under Kiffin. Ole Miss under Kiffin is clearly “working” and they are over preforming per their historical expectations.- What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
And when that fails… Assuming AISD isn’t 100% incompetent and packed full of low performing teachers, achieving performance metrics on a shoe string budget seems unlikely. There was an idea a few years ago to break up the AISD into the surrounding districts. But haven’t heard about that in a while.- Season Ticket Renewal
Cheap”er” seats for new grads- What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Was listening to a teacher talk about this last night. If AISD gets taken over by the state and doesn’t improve (because why would it) then what happens? I know right now we’re talking about preventing the takeover, but this honestly seems like a losing battle with the current funding mechanisms.- Season Ticket Renewal
Yeah we used those years to move around until we found the area/price we liked best. Section 11, above the concourse on the aisle.- Did anyone else hear that explosion just now in North Austin?
My neighbors told me both are better. The lady’s family posted a picture on Facebook yesterday. Haven’t heard about the guy in a few days but last I heard he was also improving.- Did anyone else hear that explosion just now in North Austin?
Yeah they basically sent out the A team and told me they knew they fucked up and would make it right…- Did anyone else hear that explosion just now in North Austin?
Fuck you asshole lol I was trying to knock down a piece of debris with nails sticking out from a tree. They asked if they could interview me and I said no but they still fucking filmed me…- Did anyone else hear that explosion just now in North Austin?
Does any have an Austin newspaper from Monday that I could have with the story on the explosion?- Did anyone else hear that explosion just now in North Austin?
There’s plenty I can see. Which makes me paranoid about what I can’t see. I have a feeling we’ll be going down to studs but holding out hope otherwise. Yeah right now trying to find a 6 month rental that feed to Laurel Mountain Elementary. We have 2 we’re going to look at later today but both want 12 months and insurance won’t cover that…yet (until they know how extensive the damage is). We’re doing as well as can be expected. Wife is handling the kids, they went to school on Monday. We are doing stupid shit like sorting through piles of glass trying to find Legos pieces in my son’s room and trying to repair a broken light saber he just got at Disneyland last month because that what he was most upset about in his 8yo brain. I know it’s dumb but it gave us something to do until insurance finally showed up. - Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
