What's this?

I agree with you on Saban. Money wise and Channel wise the B1G has had the

advantage for most of that 15 years. So I don't buy the SEC having more resources than the B1G. Weather, the fall season is pretty nice every where in the lower 48.

Honestly, I am not sure what the answer is, but the money should have helped them win more football national championships. The ACC has more in the last 5 years than the B1G in 15 years without the Channel or anywhere close to the same money. Am I the only one that thinks that is odd?

51 million -- PadrosWindup 06/23/2018 7:16PM

Those are insane numbers. The ACC Network it's still a big unknown -- wwhokie1 06/27/2018 10:46AM

Yeah, I dropped to DirecTV Now, and I still get the sports channels. -- reestuart 06/27/2018 6:56PM

Exact reason Fox and Disney threw hundreds of millions at the B1G RECENTLY. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:53PM

Yep. ** -- reestuart 06/27/2018 10:50PM

FSU AD once gave an encouraging number. Whit seems rather skeptical. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 2:57PM

That guy is extremely gullible, IMO ** -- Colonel Jessup 06/27/2018 8:31PM

Not sure if gullible or just telling BOV and donors what they want to hear -- GetmBud 06/28/2018 09:36AM

I think it's insane that there aren't even guestimates as to how much -- reestuart 06/29/2018 09:09AM

52 million next fiscal cycle....and -- nebraskafaninwi 06/23/2018 11:28PM

All that $$ & 1st Conf. Channel...1 Football Nat Champ in 15 years! Why? ** -- Stech 06/26/2018 6:14PM

Not necessarily money, but money spent wisely -- gmuhokie 06/28/2018 4:40PM

Exactly, kudos for earning the $$, but 11 yrs after launch, 1 Nat Ftbl Cham -- Stech 06/29/2018 07:31AM

Absolutely, I would say with diminished markets, its more critical -- Mercury 06/29/2018 8:13PM

Cause there's a competent & trustworthy person running the show. ACC don't -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 2:49PM

So the other 13 programs in the conference can afford to keep their coach, -- reestuart 06/26/2018 6:32PM

Yep. Leagues are to maximize profits and provide schedules. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 2:51PM

Yep. FSU just lost their coach to a lesser program. -- reestuart 06/27/2018 4:30PM

Yeah, FSU "lost" their coach, but most fans glad to see him go. Jimbo was -- seekoHoG 06/27/2018 7:25PM

Problem always was: SEC schools (LSU and A&M) could easily outbid FSU. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:18PM

Yep, but you never know when you will buy a pig in a poke. Those schools -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 9:57PM

So, what happens when "things don't work out" at schools w/out extra dough? -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:22PM

I don't think they're sad to see him leave, but the biggest issue with him -- reestuart 06/27/2018 7:52PM

Nice dodge...how come 1 National Championship in 15 yrs with all that $$? -- Stech 06/26/2018 7:00PM

The HS talent needed to win Championships isn't in the MidWest. -- HOO86 06/27/2018 5:13PM

This is true. The best high school talent has migrated to the southern -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 5:26PM

So you guys think money is not as important as location? ** -- Stech 06/27/2018 7:31PM

No, but the Midwest football talent has declined and the Big Ten has to -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 7:38PM

The recruits don't get money. They want location. -- HOO86 06/27/2018 7:37PM

SEC (& UNC) recruits get $$$$$ -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2018 09:37AM

Texas made some bad administrative decisions and bad coaching hires. -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 7:42PM

IMO Jimbo is out of his comfort zone at A&M. I will be surprised if he -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 8:04PM

Tangible reasons why? -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:32PM

Perhaps, but A&M hasn’t proved it can master the SEC yet. And if Texas -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 10:41PM

WHAT? They won 11 games out of the gate. They've won 9, 8, 8, and 8 since. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 11:00PM

We shall see...... ** -- RJHokie 06/27/2018 11:02PM

I think Jimbo is going to be a spectacular flop at aTm. ** -- reestuart 06/27/2018 7:58PM

Conferences don't win championships -- 33laszlo99 06/26/2018 8:51PM

Teams from conferences win national championships, if the money matters how -- Stech 06/26/2018 9:02PM

It’s about the other schools in the conference. -- reestuart 06/26/2018 11:10PM

For you it was, but that wasn't my question. The post was to talk about my -- Stech 06/27/2018 07:10AM

Then why did you even bring up championships? That doesn't have a thing -- reestuart 06/27/2018 08:18AM

And VT would trade $20 million for a Clemson or FSU Natty any day. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 2:57PM

So conference expansion is only about getting championships -- reestuart 06/26/2018 7:11PM

Again why 1 Football National Championship in 15 years? Just answer that 1, -- Stech 06/26/2018 7:11PM

Because nobody in that conference has been good enough? -- reestuart 06/26/2018 7:57PM

The ? for some reason makes you want to talk about something else, so I’ll -- Stech 06/26/2018 8:07PM

Lol. I gave you the answer. This board doesn’t have a thing -- reestuart 06/26/2018 8:37PM

The question was about the B1G they are a conference...oh forget it. ** -- Stech 06/26/2018 8:53PM

I get your point Stech. What's up with the snarkiness against reestuart? -- Calamitous 06/26/2018 10:54PM

He's consistently rude to anyone who questions Swofford and ACC leaddership -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 6:47PM

Stech’s a good guy. I just don’t get what he’s trying to prove. -- reestuart 06/26/2018 11:05PM

Check out the discussion with HOO86 and RJHokie & that's where I was going. ** -- Stech 06/27/2018 7:44PM

We all have our moments. I sure have and probably will again. -- Calamitous 06/26/2018 11:20PM

It was because I wanted to have a different discussion. See the discussion -- Stech 06/27/2018 7:52PM

And here comes Georgia ** -- 33laszlo99 06/26/2018 11:42PM

Yup. A lot of CFB power in 4 neighboring states (FL, GA, SC & AL) -- Calamitous 06/26/2018 11:57PM

Yeah, I certainly get what Stech is saying. But that’s not the point here. ** -- reestuart 06/26/2018 11:41PM

It's odd that you think the ACC won those championships ** -- 33laszlo99 06/27/2018 2:03PM

Yep. VT surely didn't benefit from them ** -- reestuart 06/27/2018 4:31PM

VT would trade any FSU, Clemson, UNC, or Duke titles for an extra 20 mill. -- GetmBud 06/27/2018 10:29PM

I think it is, but money can’t do it all. You would think McChicken and -- RJHokie 06/26/2018 7:50PM
