He was good today. 

Yeah, when he wasn't turning it over including the back breaking final INT he was good. That's the problem with Carson Beck. The guy has 6 INTs in y'all's two losses and that's even with getting completely bailed out by a bogus late roughing call on one just to be like "no thanks bros, I'm here to throw picks today" and throw another even worse one like two plays later.

I agree. fug the ACC. They gambled on expansion years ago to bolster football and the teams they added face planted and all it did was fug up basketball.

Technically this was the correct move for survival. College football greed did ultimately ruin all of college athletics in the end.

But, it was harder to predict that it would be this bad in the 1990's and 2000's. 

The Big Ten is now attempting to put the final nail in college sports with this private equity "investment."

Just imagine how great it will be when they eventually expand the playoff to 24 teams, or more. There will still only be 3 or 4 teams that have a real chance of winning the national championship, but the money-making opportunity will be too irresistible.

The money making opportunities will fade. That era is upon us. 

I have said a collapse is inevitable and I really do believe it.

For college atheltics, a drastic collapse will be the healthiest outcome for the sport in the long term.

Right move with the wrong programs. The ACC bet on the wrong horses. The programs they added to bolster football (Miami and VT) were at the tail end of their runs. Their fans will blame the conference change for their downfall conveniently ignoring the dominant run Clemson had in the same conference at the same time.

I don't know that better options were available at the time. We couldn't poach Big Ten or SEC programs. The Big 12 was not weak enough yet to potentially make a poach there reasonable. Not to mention the big fish(Texass, Texass A&M and Oklahoma) wouldn't likely have come unless we basically handed them over the keys to the entire conference budget.

I agree that those moves hurt but I don't think there were better options and sitting still was a worse solution. The financial rewards they all reaped were substantial. They only cry and moan about it now because they say "Oh the Big Ten and SEC are more!"

Well, those are also the primary drivers of this insanely rapid inflation that is absolutely unsustainable.

Not convinced that it will reach that collapse point, and that is entirely on the fans and consumers of the product.

I think there is something real and tangible to the dissatisfaction from fans about how college football operates in particular with this new age of NIL and transfer portal. 

"There's no loyalty or identity to a school anymore."

"Paid employees."

"Mercenaries and that's all."

Conferences are all done, except for the name. The geography has been obliterated. Historic rivalries are gone and a good chunk of the character of college football has gone with it. Eventually, I see it becoming a set-up akin to how Premiere League Soccer operates, with teams being segregated out. We are very much on that path already.

For years and years, it was operated as a free farm league for the NFL. The only thing that has really changed is it is no longer free. Times change, but it does go against the ethos of what college sports are perceived to be about by the public.

Despite that, consumption remains high.

This guy is such a complete fuging prick.

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16bh2nLuGq/

Blamed a receiver for running the wrong route on his 4th INT of their first loss and now he's throwing shade at play calling after he seals another loss with another INT where he had all day in the pocket, the pocket was still clean, and he just chose to throw the football to a defender. How can a Miami fan watch this poo and cry about refs? Your problem is this dog poo asshole playing QB.

How many years has Miami been unable to win the ACC? 22?  Wake has been better. What a flop that was.

We'd have won it the last two years if the ACC wasn't hell bent on stopping us.

Best we've been able to do is win the Coastal, which is poor.

Lord almighty. This is even more delusional than the Bryce stans. LOL 

Last year y'all had a great offense and a JV defense and this year y'all have a great team held back by an egomaniacal jackass of a QB that literally everyone in the football world correctly predicted would be a disaster.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
