How come no other conference has taken Kansas? An elite bball program with garbage teams everywhere else.
Duke football is a complete joke. There’s high schools with better stadiums  

Duke is a small Christian private school that brings nothing to the table aside from basketball. Realistically, Duke would be a much better fit to the Big East. Can link up with all the other private basketball schools. 

Missouri's football program is certainly better than Duke but they're just conference fodder at this point, and the other sports programs are right there as well.

I really couldn't care less about college sports and can't comment on any other schools outside my region, just making the point that if there's a perceived gain somewhere then a move will be made.

Mzzou a large state school with more alumni and public interests. Much, much more goes into the decisions than just a basketball team that hasn’t won sh-t since 2015.

Well yes, and I've not said otherwise.

ACC won’t be dismantled, if at all, for at least 10-15 years. How many years they have left on that revenue sharing agreement that Swofford pushed through. It’s way too much money they would be forfeiting. 

I sure do hope you are right 🫵…

The post-USC 8-team ACC was just awesome…bigger isn’t better here 🤦‍♂️

…sure wish we had a time machine to turn back clock the The Big East and The ACC 🙌

I do wonder if they're going to kill the golden goose though. The Alabama's of the world will be fine. There's no pro sports anywhere around. It's all those people have. But at some point if they just keep turning college sports into what basically amounts to a semi-pro league it's going to eventually turn fans off. College basketball is already a shadow of itself from it's heyday. Football is doing fine but that's primarily because America just fuging lives football. I don't know, the landscape is changing extremely rapidly.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
