Realignment

Aug 27, 2023, 6:17 PM

I hesitate to post on this topic because I’m ready for the season and to focus on actual football as it should be a special season. But I heard from a reliable buddy of mine that in around 4 weeks we are announcing we are leaving the conference… that’s all he told me so I don’t know where we are going or any other details but he’s the one that give me my recruiting and Clemson intel.

Now, let’s go beat the helloutta the Dookies!

I hate realignment talk as well. I just wonder after Tex/Okl announced for the SEC, what if the ACC would’ve aggressively went after Oklahoma St, Baylor, and TCU?

It would’ve definitely made football better, but would the TV package gotten better?

The presidents call a joint press conference, say on Thursday or Friday of game week. They announce that in 2025 they will both be leaving the conference.

Then on Saturday, they could hold another press conference and announce they have applied for and been accepted into the SEC.

Maybe they could do it on GameDay.

It might not have anything to do with class in regard to the announcement. Could always be something where they've already informed the conference, the conference then asked them to hold off until after they get the 3 teams added, and they acquiesced. I would assume announcing the move would be something we'd need to do sooner than later, regardless of when we actually move, and it would allow Dabo to recruit off of it too.

Re: Realignment


Aug 28, 2023, 11:32 PM

The reason Clemson is not already gone is the cost of leaving the ACC. I don't see how Clemson and FSU could just walk out unless the league gaining them will pay the departure fees or at least a large percentage of them. I could imagine another league with lots of schools taxing each of its current members a small piece of the money due, with Clemson and FSU picking up a percentage, possibly paid out over several years. The justification would be that the TV money could become even greater with FSU and Clemson in whichever league takes them. Of course I have no idea if the financial arrangements I am suggesting are even possible.

The problem I have with the realignment vote is that Notre Dame gets a vote and they are not a full member (thanks John Swofford).

Have to say no to voting just to spite ND. Clemson should vote in the best interest of Clemson. I guess I’m in the camp of voting yes and getting something in return that helps us leave sooner. I’m sure much thought has gone into this vote and how it may be leveraged for Clemson’s benefit.
