Why, yes, of course they have had an original idea.  Remember this one?

Per a reliable source, Clemson+Florida State have reached out to the SEC about joining the conference.

The SEC is concerned that streaming numbers for Clemson+Florida State don't bring what Oklahoma+Texas do.

FSU isn't much better than Wake Forrest right now (low viewership) and the Taters would be looking at 2-3 losses/year easily if they came into the SEC.  Does anyone think Clemson consulted Reverend Ostarine on this matter?

no thanks

this move makes zero sense for Clemson b/c of their perennial dominance in their conference...unless they are worried that the ACC is about to get poached

there is no doubt that the ACC and the Pac-12 may get left behind so instead of them losing teams they should be looking to expand...if I were Clemson I would be pushing for Kansas and ND (both of which will probably end up in the Big 10 (11/12/13/14)

I do think it is time for the conferences to give ND an ultimatum

I read an article that mentioned how it's not plausible for ACC teams to walk away from the 15 years plus remaining on the conference's TV rights deal.  Not sure if that means there is a buyout if teams leave or what.  Screw the acc.

My understanding of the ACC terms is it is a grant of rights, the ACC owns any and all i/conference revenue generated by a member school until those 15 years expire, so any school that left for another school would get $0 for the next 15 years, and all of the income they generated during that time period would go to the ACC.  There isn't a team in the ACC has a financial support system to be able to survive that kind of revenue loss.  ACC would have to dissolve before any of the current member schools could afford to leave.

This is off topic of the discussion, but on topic of the thread title.

I was watching College Gameday yesterday, and as it has been for many years, the Washington State flag was flying, and remembered that I had seen somewhere, a year or two ago, that Clemmorhoids wanted to make that their thing.  Sure enough, there are two Clemson flags there trying to get in front of the WSU flag.  These people and their “me too” mentality, amaze me.

That Wazzu guy is a legend. I remember taking a pic of it when I was at Willy B a few years ago when Gameday was there.

I have noticed that as well for many years.  Wazzu has some crazy streak going about being at Gameday.  They even ship flags around to alum that are going to Gameday - at least according to CGD.  The taturds have been flying their flag for a few years.  Every time I see it, I say WTF can't these losers do anything original.  They suck and screw the acc.
