This made me chuckle. Graduate student Edward Saydee, who led the Owls with 639 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 149 attempts last season, has “skyrocketed” on the field, Foreman said. This is like the aliens conversation. I used to believe that aliens exist and could be among us. Then the government told me they are real. Temple fans probably heard Saydee looked good. Then this Foreman fellow used the word "skyrocketed", oversold his performance, and now Temple fans are questioning how will he's actually doing it if their run defense sucks.

This is hilarious.

37-30 at the half. Some sloppy, cardinal sin turnovers (trying to go over the top of defenders with passes, etc.). A decent amount of missed jump shots. Good defensive effort and we are certainly athletic. All in all, this is fun to watch. The Puerto Rican team (Guaynabo All Stars) is pretty solid. They can shoot, have decent size, and are also athletic. Good test as the chemistry is built before classes even start.

Pretty good exhibition win, no? -
It's on the low side, albeit not too far off as you stated from the mainstream/national outlook. However, I think that outlook is shifting as people dive deeper into the program. Sportsbooks are shifting more heavily towards 4+ wins, for example. We were 2-3 bounces away from 2-3 more wins last year.

Oh no. Jimbo won't be able to tout a top recruiting class to cover for going 5-7. Damn shame.

Minimum 6 wins.

Well put.

Learn something new every day. Even more reason this won't happen, at least for a long time.

None of this is going to happen, at least not for a long time. The networks aren't going to cut their own arm off by having NFL games on Saturdays.

If the goal is revenue, the schools & conferences that have made the moves don't lose. The media companies shelling out the dough might lose, but that's on them. ESPN (Disney) is dying because they've made very poor decisions with their products. The college football product hasn't gotten worse with these moves. It has arguably gotten better. The competition level within these conferences has grown, which should lead to slightly more parity. The Big 12 was only included with the SEC/Big 10 because it has a $100M+ larger media contract than the ACC, and a sooner renegotiating period for their next contract. They'll be closer to the SEC/Big 10 category than the ACC by that second deal, while the ACC is still sitting on their deal through 2036. Football wise they don't hold a candle, although basketball wise, the Big12 has probably solidified itself as the best basketball conference.

Bingo, thanks to the grant of rights that @72 Roo mentioned. Meanwhile, all 3 other major conferences will have at least 1 more media deal negotiated before the ACC media deal expires. The gap between the ACC and Big12/Big10/SEC is only going to grow. And I'll just be eating my popcorn, watching all of this madness ensue.

False. At least 7 schools have lawyers combing the conference membership contract for an out that won't cost over $100 million. Pete described the ACC as a Lord of the Flies world. The conference has 1/4th the media revenue of the Big Ten & SEC, and their contract runs through 2036. They are closer to American Athletic Conference revenue than SEC/Big Ten. The Big 12 is even in a better spot.

Pete Thamel was a fascinating segment on the Pat McAfee Show today. - ACC schools are absolutely screwed from their media deal. Legal & financial nightmare - Remaining PAC4 schools are scrambling. Stanford and the ACC might have mutual interest. Like the ACC, they're also screwed, probably even more so because as of right now, they don't have a conference/schedule for 2024. - Talked about trimming the fat at some point as these conferences are becoming too large and the bottom half of the conferences aren't pulling their weight yet making the same amount as the conferences' upper echelon. - Notre Dame is a wild card. If conference schedules go to 10 games, they're in trouble due to a lack of schools to play. Otherwise, it's thought that they could get $60-70M per year in their next media deal with NBC. They have a new AD that is coming in from NBC,big I heard correctly, too. - 6 conference champion playoff bids is only for the first 2 years of the new format deal, and will probably get changed to 5 as the PAC12 has seemingly vanished for good.
