What's this?

Exactly, football is the main engine & they aligned with the SEC for ftball

THAT IS NOT A PARTNERSHIP, that's let me get what I can and I don't care if the Conference survives or not.

It's a fact that right after Texas and Oklahoma left, the mouth of the SEC (Finebaum) had someone on his show lobbying for Virginia Tech to be next to the SEC. ND was only thinking about themselves as TerryD keeps saying, but because of that, it had could have wiped out the ACC or majorly damaged it, at the least . No way if Virginia Tech bites, that the SEC wasn't coming for more teams. Their strategy was to get enough teams to leave so that GOR falls apart. It's the only way it could have worked.

If the ACC went away, not a problem as TerryD said. What kind of partnership is that? An awful one!! Now we know where they stand, we need to act accordingly on other votes, that's what I am saying.
