    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Wait, Charlotte has an NBA team? I though they moved to New Orleans.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    File a lawsuit and get discovery. Many of these schools are state institutions so FOIA requests can be made. It would be incredibly difficult for 11 institutions to completely cover their tracks. Additionally, in civil court, there is no pleading the 5th. If it got to a trial, defendants...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The difference between the PAC-4 and the (hypothetical at this point) AAC-3 is that the PAC's GOR and media deal are expiring. The PAC didn't vote to dissolve. Everyone that is leaving is doing so at the end of the current GOR once their obligations under that agreement have been fulfilled. No...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Seems sus, mostly because three AAC schools (Charlotte, Navy, Tulsa) just go away? I can't believe the AAC GOR/bylaws wouldn't have language similar to every other conference that bars a school from voting to dissolve the conference if that school has a landing spot lined up. It doesn't matter...

    There are a lot of companies that are coming to that same conclusion. I work in the call center software sector, and there are a whole bunch of companies that are in the process of moving at least some of their call center ops to 100% home-based gig work. Pay fluctuates to meet call volume...

    Where were you when it happened?

    I remember several attempts on the goalposts and Jack Trice, but I think they were indestructible while I was there in the late 90s/early 00s. I remember someone passing a big crescent wrench up to a guy on the crossbar after the Nebraska game in 2002. He got one bolt off before they started...

    Where were you when it happened?

    It was my freshman year it ISU. I’d kind of fallen off on following College Football, and wasn’t paying much attention. As a non-Iowan, I kind of missed the memo on the CyHawk rivalry. I was working at the ISU foundation, dialing for dollars from alumni. They kept updating the score in our call...

    Money hasn’t typically been a driver for ND, and they greatly value their independent status. If conferences start going to 10 game slates, it’s going to be difficult for them to fill out their schedule outside of the 5 ACC games. There aren’t many top program that will be lining up to take on...

    The problem with the legal option is how long and expensive litigation would be. Something like this could easily take years and, if the ACC loses, it seems likely they would appeal. A legal Hail Mary might get them out early, or it might just be a money pit soaking up funds that could...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    It’s not like the ACC used hack lawyers without a clear intent for what they were doing. The GOR was written specifically for this situation - that’s the only reason it exists. If there was a legal way around the GOR, I expect FSU or another school would already be in court. I can’t imagine...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    That was just the first time the PAC really ****** themselves. The PAC Network as been a debacle since the beginning, and really put almost every Athletic Dept in the red and a massive accounting mistake didn't help. The wildly inaccurate expectations for a post-USCLA media deal, as you...

    If those studies showing WFH lowers worker productivity are accurate, how can the record revenues and profits corporations across sectors have reported the past couple of years be explained? On one hand, "worker productivity" is kind of a hard thing to define and measure across various...

    Then why not UCF/Orlando? It's slightly further from Tempe, but they both chose to single out WV because tons of people don't go there for vacation. It was a shot at WV every bit as much as a comment on travel.

    I think it depends on the industry. In my industry, plenty of smaller companies and startups are reaping the benefits of not having to pay for office rent and having a vastly larger talent pool to draw from. Tons of opportunities, but if you're in a centralized area and want to work for one of...

    Those companies that are pushing it just to push it are going to have some trouble keeping or gaining talent. Their best employees (and best prospective employees) will have the most options, and if they'd prefer 100% WFH or minimal in office, there are plenty of companies out there that will...

    Why do you stay a fan of the NFL team you root for? (Kickin it pod)

    I can only speak for myself, but it’s apathy. I’m a Bears fan, so it’s kind of a perfect fit for that franchise.

    I could see it going both ways. As an OOC game, it piques the interest of the general cfb fans interested in seeing how the two conference stack up against each other in addition to it being a unusual matchup that doesn't happen often. The Oregon, Ohio St and will-watch-anything B10 fans will...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    That's not quite what I'm saying. Long-time rivalry games usually dominate the top-rated games every season. What I'm saying is, does Oregon/Ohio St as an OOC game get better or worse ratings than Oregon/Ohio St as a conference game? Is the OOC game more or less interesting to casual...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The biggest problem I have with believing a super-league is a viable enterprise is the situation details of a matchup for less than obsessive fans. Take, for example, Ohio St and Oregon. They played an OOC game against each other in 2021, back before anyone could conceive that they would be in...

    Right, but it also leaves the door open if they ever do want to leave for whatever reason they may have. Just because one or the other is under contract for the next ___ years doesn’t mean they’re locked in.
