ATM and Mizzou were valuable at the time because markets are what mattered in 2012. The SEC in Texas was very valuable. And the TX OU move was totally a value move. All 4 were top value moves at the time, no matter was happened since.
you know he's in hospice right? let him dream while he still can
FSU and Clemson... will both be taking reductions compared to what the ACC payout will be handing out.. Big12 new deal which kicks next year is less than what the ACC is going to be making..
I've mentioned it several times in posts here. I am sorry for him, but I am not going to cut him slack for chasing clicks with nonsense.
I'm not arguing any of that. What I'm saying is they weren't original members of the conference so that justification for some still being in really doesn't hold water IMHO.
BiG not really interested in small "metro" markets.This is becoming an interesting question because the B1G does not seem interested:
Big Ten reportedly not interested in adding pair of premier ACC programs
If the Big Ten is looking to expand again, it apparently will not include a pair of premier ACC programssports.yahoo.com
The SEC does not seem interested:

There are even rumors that FSU and Clemson have had talks with the Big 12 which if true is pretty shocking. I think what we are seeing is that both the B1G and SEC realize that at their current size, it is going to be really hard to get additional money to pay new members and that there are only so many time slots available to air games.
Now all this could be smoke an mirrors so that it doesn't seem like they are tampering but when you weigh the pros and cons does additional expansion make sense? I honestly don't think it does.
Bro I’m serious when I say, USF fans think they are some sort of sleeping Giant on X. It is absurdly hilarious.
I honestly think it’s all speculation with FSU and Clem trying to gauge SEC and B1Gs interest. I don’t think they’d ever join for less than what the P2 paid. And that’s not exactly practical.
You don't think he is more connected than a bunch of rando Twitter guys with 64 followers? LOL
There is no doubt that if you get clear of the GOR, the P2 is going to have some interest. What I think the article stands for is that the P2 has no desire to get involved until you get clear of the ACC. Moreover, you do have problems - the SEC probably doesn't want two more teams that will be losses for many of its existing members, and the B1G does in fact care about AAU status. If I had to guess, I would think you end up in a P2 at some point. But this idea that it's all cleared and they are just waiting for you never made sense to me. The last thing they want to to do is get caught up in litigation.
Brett McMurphy??? No, I don't. He's never been very credible.
That's ridiculous. He has 303K followers on Twitter, and he's been involved in writing about sports for 40+ years, including CBSSports, Yahoo, AOL, and ESPN. You might disagree with his opinions - I can respect that - but the idea he doesn't have good sources is absurd, especially compared to rando Twitter guys with a couple hundred followers.
If it doesn't come from one of @OregonDucks sources then I don't trust it.
