Love hearing DG's reporting. No-nonsense, fact-based journalism which is all too uncommon this day and age IMHO. Great work guys!
The NFL is selling single games, SINGLE games for $75-$80,000,000.00 to streaming services. The money in a consolidated college football format is about to become insane.
B1G exit fee is $0. The ACC exit fee is $130,000,000.00. I think FSU might have a case.
UNC & NCSU don't want to play any of those schools in football.....ever.
bacon 🤤🤤🤤
Great discussion 👏
Let the BOTs do their job! I have no issues with Bubba and give him credit for what he has done at UNC. Why is it though when UNC starts looking to better its situation criticism comes from everywhere? Could it possibly be UNC needs data from an audit to present to the BOGs? I don’t mind a differing opinion, but not mentioning all factors and presenting this in a one sided fashion isn’t helpful.
UNC Athletics is audited every year by multiple sources. So the answer to your question is no, its not possibly the reason. What is was is two new trustees who have no clue what they are talking about, popping off, and then told be others in the room who have a clue, to zip it.
@@TheNCSportsNet well they have deemed it necessary to do it now. They the authority to do so, it’s not mine or or anyone’s place to tell them otherwise.
North Carolina politics are destroying their university sports programs. What part of that don’t you understand? Go NOLES, and Go Tigers! At least they have the balls to do what’s right for their universities.
If UNC wants a reorganized ACC, I know 2 teams who would volunteer to be kicked out first
ACC needs to get espn to renegotiate .
Agreed. It’s the only real option they have. It could cost $250m to get out and they don’t have that kind of money. The good thing about it for them is that they can have a more realistic chance of winning a conference championship after FSU and Clemson leave.
I’m sorry but Bubba Cunningham is the Captain of the athletic depart UNC has clearly failed at their football program for years. They are no better today than 13 years ago. Other sports don’t pay the bills.
The reason the budget at NC is so low is because Bubba wants to field a JV Football Program!!
We all know Bubba was not under the microscope due to legitimate concerns of mismanagement or malfeasance, but because of his opinions on realignment. The proposed audit would be used to hand a financial plan to the BOG stating that UNC won’t be able to maintain such athletic excellence into the future without change. The idea being that if the BOG then refuses moves towards realignment, then the BOG could be placed under public and political pressure for future loss of some non revenue sports.
1953 - Clemson formed the ACC. 2024 - Clemson destroys the ACC.
Poor TV deals aside, the admission of the Irish as a non-football member and giving them significant money and voting rights destroyed the ACC.
Strange. How exactly is Clemson leaving going to destroy the ACC? The ACC will be destroyed if a school leaves? Must have been an extremely weak conference if a school left and it destroyed the entire conference.
@@505premoto when Clemson blows up the acc media rights, ALL can then exit if they choose to at a fair exit fee.... 4-8 will follow Clemson out!
@@shelbyp4880 That’s not gonna happen. Viewership is the new currency of CFB. Eyeballs = Money. No eyeballs, no money. Only FSU (#7 in viewership) and Clemson (#22) would make money for a P2, all of the other ACC schools would lose money. Where would those schools go? Not a P2. And the Big 12 would only be a lateral move.
Can't wait
People are to caught up in an ACC history that has long died. ACC history doesn't include UM, BC, CUSE, VT and now SMU, CAL, STANFORD. The league old people are trying to defend/keep intact doesn't exist any more. ACC is a dying conference moving into the shadows. And lets all be more honest, if the ACC was HQ'd in a different state, this wouldn't even be a discussion. The future never stops and the ACC had a front row seat and decided to not be proactive even when the writing was on the wall.
Please stay the ACC .Tabacco road has run the conference into the group it it not looking ahead. Please et FSu out and wait and see. Backetball is coming to this Horrable ran Conference. Before you talk to me about it.please look at how they trat the money maker Football .:Can Fix lazy and Stupid . The ACC is Both
Still think the final resolution for the ACC is a division of the league between the publics and privates. The NCAA settlement and NIL reforms are the inflection points for this to occur. If schools directly manage NIL payments, do public schools have to disclose those numbers? How does that play politically? Wait a year or two, you get more clarity.
Hell yeah it does!
💯💯💯
ugh, shut up. Unrecommended.
Also the ACC falling apart when ESPN won't renew avoids all the complications you mention because the ACC is deadnin that scenario. Add it up and now is the time to act! At worst you are stuck and no worse off, with lots of upside to get out cheap
The good is if you want out then UNC also filing suit puts future pressure on ESPN to not renew. But this happens everyone is out for nothing UNC being aggressive will grease the wheel for a quick and cheap exit as opposed to a long and expensive process for all including UNC
Didn't NC State just cancel their trip to App St? Also, UNC hasn't played ECU in many years (and the rumor is Mack refuses to play ECU), and it wouldn't be a surprise if State cancels the trip to Greenville in '28. Just my two cents, but these are the reasons why the topic is being brought up. The legislation won't go to the floor, but it will serve as a reminder to UNC and NC State to keep some schedule with the other 3 and not cancel those series
David is always on point!!! Really miss your mid day radio show around the Raleigh area. Thanks for all you do/bring to local and national sports. Cheers 🍻
Me encanta el deporte
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great episode 👍🏻
Ohio State plays an in state school (or 2) every year to try and help the other programs in the state & usually a MAC team which may or may not be in Ohio. This season OSU plays Akron, Marshall & WMU. All in Ohio or nearby.
FSU and UF are required by law to play each other every year is one example
I don't believe this is true. As in our North Carolina example, where political pressure (but NOT legislation) helped ECU get on the schedules of UNC and NC State more often in football, there was definitely political pressure (going back to the 1950s) behind requiring Florida and Florida State to play each other. The proposed legislation in Florida was voted DOWN (not adopted), but political pressure definitely inspired the Gators and Seminoles to start playing each other (at this point, every year since 1958, with the exception of 2020/COVID.)
@@DavidGlenn-nn2mp thank you for the response. I did not know that
I don't like the legislation, but see benefit of establishing rules (BoG?) to ensure athletic scheduling between UNC System schools.
Totally agree with you!
Good episode!
I’m a die hard heel. We don’t have enough size, not yet
I'm agreeing that this is an election year pr stunt, aside from my feelings about the scheduling. I think when schools like ECU, App, and Charlotte see NSU & UNC playing FCS teams in football and some scrubs at home in basketball the feeling is we could be scheduled instead. In principle, the rotation is more than fair to spread it out. The basketball angle will be the most interesting. Also, like you said, conference game scheduling will be a big factor because of everyone's OOC needs. What's also interesting to this is now ECU and Charlotte are conference mates and NCSU and UNC are conference mates. Then, when you get into basketball...it gets a lot more complicated when you consider schools like say UNCW... and the like--they may want in.
Duke will be the next Kentucky! One and done ✅
Very strange. Scheyer has got to LET THEM PLAY!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
💪💪💪

Geoff Collins will destroy this football team.
