Fun fact: the Titanic likely would have survived had they simply done nothing and just rammed the iceberg head on.

I'm not sure what this reference means... The ACC will survive without its best teams? Does it just become Conference USA?

From a big 2 sports perspective GT has fallen off the cliff from a national perspective. The hoops program since Hewitt (leading up to and post the Hewitt buyout) has been a complete disaster. 2-3 good years (NIT), and 1 NCAAT appearance.

And we all know the football story. If CBK can get GT going again as a consistent 8-9 win program (with or without a bowl win) GT will be a logical choice for the B1G with everything else that comes with GT (TV market, transplant city, huge recruiting state).

Real question is…..As the NCAA is removed and APR goes with it, will GT go back to opening the door for borderline academic players that GOL, Bobby C, Hewitt, etc were allowed to bring in? Answer should be: Yes. It will no longer matter as far as getting some bogus sanction.

Been saying this for thirty years here (or so). Tech needs to stop trying to be lily white And Die and compete already. This is the first President that we’ve had that gets it though.

NO! Both GT and Wake are better than Dallas Baptist. Except for maybe baseball. Maybe the Mountain West? Or the Big XII???

The SEC and Big 10 will never accept a meaningful salary cap.

Oh, they will accept it. Cheerfully so. Because they know everyone else will limit themselves accordingly while they flagrantly exceed it without fear of recrimination. This is basically the cold war of the 1980s all over again. The US and USSR and the rest of the world agree to stop making new warheads while the US and USSR continue to crank them out 24/7.

Long segment by Rick Neuheisel yesterday where he said, when talking to coaches at the Peach Bowl golf tournament, they ALL want a salary cap (this includes CBK who he was paired with). They want a sense of normalcy to stop the chaos. He did not name the sec coach by name, but was told by said coach, all 22 of the starting 22 on that team all make 6 figure NIL deals.

The outcome of this lawsuit will eventually be the end of the ACC, B12. Major CFB will end up the sec / B1G in the years to come, like the AFC / NFC.
 
Good bye NCAA. You deserve all the BS coming your way.
