I agree on all points you made, my biggest concern is SEC $$ versus ACC $.


Our leadership has a history of using the false narrative that you can’t be top in football and be top in academics, while they look up academically at Florida, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M and Texas. That false Academic Arrogance got us in trouble like you said for decades. We need to admit our past mistakes so we don’t repeat them.

That said, I prefer to be in the ACC, but we HAVE to close both the financial and exposure gap for football, not just for football, but for the other sports too. If we can’t do that very very soon, we need to find a way to the SEC, because we should not settle for second tier when first tier is available.
