Cobra Commander Posted December 10, 2023 Author Posted December 10, 2023 not sure if this is technically offseason but Jayden Daniels won the Heisman
Brian Fowler Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 Remember when people really cared about the Heisman? And StiffArmTrophy.com fed the hype and got people to tune in more and more, peaking with the too close to call Mark Ingram vs Toby Gerhart battle? And the Downtown Athletic Club started threatening to take away votes from people who revealed their ballot early, and strong armed so many voters StiffArmTrophy.com gave up, and the Heisman ceremony ratings immediately started falling?

The best part was them bragging about having the highest viewership ever because of how close the race was, while at the exact same time trying to eliminate it ever leaking how close it was again.

So they theoretically should remain a member in good standing if they lose the lawsuit. Also the fact that member schools are not allowed to have a copy of the Grant of Rights seems crazy to me.

Yeah, I read a decent breakdown of it yesterday. The lawsuit sounds like more an exploration of feasibility. Give them credit because they're the one bold enough to do it. (There are a few other conference schools that have read the Grant of Rights just as many times but haven't pulled the trigger). I think all of the schools in the conference were not wise to sign such a strict commitment though. College football and collegiate athletics has undergone too many changes to be locked into something so strict for so long. ACC being a starting point for the Alliance and then blocking the playoff makes this whole thing even worse.
Mister TV Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 Most wins by ACC programs (last 5 years). 1. Clemson 60 2. Pitt 41 3. Wake 38 4. NCST 36 5. Miami 33 6. UNC 32 7. UVA 31 8. FSU 29 T9. VT 28 T9. Syracuse 28 T9. BC 28 T9. Louisville 28 13. Duke 27 14. GaTech 21
SirFozzie Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 Personally? Fuck em. They signed the grant of rights. They can't say "Whoops, we didn't really mean it, we want so much more elsewhere". They had their chance. (In fact, the grant of rights came around because FSU threatened to move to the Big12, and it was needed to reassure teams that people weren't going anywhere.) Or, in short: A contract is a contract, even when it's not as good a deal as you thought. Honestly, within the decade, I find it likely that the whole conference lineup thing will be deader then disco, and we'll just have a U-23 NFL-style league. 1

Brian Fowler Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 So apparently the hot rumor in Baton Rouge is that Brian Kelley would very much like the Michigan job if Jim Harbaugh leaves.
