Greg just now getting to your latest video. Hard to keep up with you. Still enjoy your info.

Watching my Noles reach Super Regional for the 19th time 💪🏼

Wasnt the B12 folks shitting on FSU when they brought up private capital? How the turns have tabled...lol

The only way I'd use VC/PE/PC is to build a junior league association from the G5 to build up and promote in close association with the mother conference. Get control of the best of the rest and experiment with streaming partners (Amazon in particular). Assemble a shadow conference of the best from MW, AAC, Sunbelt, ConfUSA and MAC.

FSU+CLEM+UNC+NCSt----->>> SEC (provided ESPN pays more $$$ - brings SEC into parity with Big10$.).

Is anyone paying attention to ESPN and the Sec? I think their having backdoor talks about increasing the TV revenue to entice Clemson and Florida state to join the sec. I think after any announcement of a big10 deal they will try in the 11th hour to match it or better it, if that happens they will go sec.

Knumbskull news might have the right idea as FSU and Clemson are rolling the ACC to the edge of the cliff and what’s going to push them over the cliff and how bad does things snowball before things go splat at the bottom of the cliff

They both will be sec members in 2026. Good grief... so long winded for 2 minutes of info.

I disagree! Clemson brings twice the viewership than Miami. Miami does not bring the eyeballs that Clemson and FSU does. Clemson and FSU bring more views than over half the schools in the Big 10 and the SEC

Thought Virginia /Virginia Tech were tied together in future conference alignment? Same with North Carolina/ Duke .

Bigten is run by FOX. They want the best regular season games. SEC is run by their schools. They want to put the most schools in the Playoff They can and win Nattys. That's why the Bigten will take Florida State and Clemson and the SEC will take North Carolina and Virgina. NC and Virgina do not threaten the Bama's in their football dominance. And add BBall and 2 great states.

Anyone catch the edit jump at 13:35? 👀 Looks like too much was said and had to delete some of the content. Wow. What happened in “Daytonish”, stays in Dayton.

We Clemson alumni have known all the AAU focus for over a decade. Our President put us on this tract when he got here and set the goal to be a top 10 public university within 10 years. Little ole Clemson is a hidden gem of a place. We have known it and have loved it for over 40 years. We knew it in football, soccer, golf, baseball and academics. Everyone discovered Clemson due to our recent football notoriety, but we have been a diamond in the rough for decades.

FSU & Clemson do NOT want to play half their games in freezing axx stadiums where they are not adapted/acclimated like the host schools' athletes will always be. It makes a huge difference. (Think Dallas vs Greenbay in the icebowl; Dallas vs Philly in Philly in dead winter - it never works well for the southern based teams).

Amazon offered more money to the Big10 in their last round of media contract negotiations, but Big10 took the lower offer because of overriding factors (visibility & conventionality, certainty, familiarity - alll have their own value). So, too, might a lower offer from the SEC over a higher paying Big10 offer. SEC$ does NOT equal Big10$. Being in the SEC has a value all its own to those 2 schools, especially long term. Those schools, especially FSU, have done a lot of posturing to get SEC to overtly react. SEC is playing it coy, trying to call ESPN's bluff. ESPN needs FSU and Clemson in the SEC more than anything. ESPN needs to have the power & option to walk away from the ACC, and FSU+Clemson to the SEC creates that option. Even better would be FSU+CLEM+UNC+NCSt (or Ga Tech or KS or OkSt or WVU). ESPN simply cannot be seen as promoting this move. They need the departures to happen organically. Once the break commitment is made, they will have to move FAST to reel them into the SEC. SEC is playing it coy because they need ESPN to agree to raise their pay to more closely match the Big10 contract. They acted the same way about the 9th conference game thing. They wanted to get paid more, so they held out. ESPN will have to facilitate this in the end, but they need the schools to organically commit to leaving the ACC on their own without promises from ESPN to promote the move. If they give notice of withdrawal, then ESPN can engage. ESPN is watching Fox/Big10 dangle the carrot, but once they step out, ESPN & SEC will pounce.

Please B1G, do not take Clemson!

I don't get the Clemson stay in your sec states backyard attitude re travel expenses. Clemson at Ore? Usc at Clemson? Clem at Michigan. Marquee man. Lesser sports come into play I know.

Learned today that the SEC feels with time UNC can get away from Nc State. The goal is now UNC/Virginia/Duke/Kansas. Part of the reason Duke is now the favorite over Nc State, is to lure Virginia in. Virginia aligns itself with high academics. Almost Ivy like. To try and make sure they get them in the SEC, they are trying to get those four together. The SEC is in no rush on time. Even if it takes years. It's what they want.

Great work Greg, thank you so much. It looks like the ACC lawyers are caught with their pants down!

I think its hilarious that Clemson is now using the ACC can backfill with anything and save the contract clause as proof that the expectation was that schools could exit and take their rights and that their exit has no impact on the conference or ESPN.

am sorry GF i ran out of room. what i was saying is that the sec has said that they are going after aau universities and now basketball schools. so its funny that the sec is being the big 10 and the big 10 is doing the non aau universities for football. so my how times have changed. but both conferances are doing what they want to do.

If Clemson wins summary judgement in mid July. You know the ACC will appeal can they expedite the appellate process in SC? Any legal minds know? Clemson did this brilliantly.

Greg just started the viedo.

Acc dragging this out does the gor not specify a dollar amount to exit?

Hello Greg.

25:33 the best part of the episode 😂 😁

Go Hoosiers. Hope is always internal.

Greg just watched your last two videos. Always interesting.

The Badgers will go 9 - 3 with an upset over Bama. I'm sorry Greg, but the Badgers will keep the Axe on Black Friday.

The older I get, the less I think Feldman knows. Yeah, there are new Big 10 teams. Washington still plays the 3 old Pac-12 teams and get USC and UCLA at home.

Ryan Thomas is usually very cogent, and so is Lewis. And I agree with both this time.

The SEC wants large flagship state universities that expand their footprint. It's why UNC/Virginia/Kansas is on their wishlist. Not to mention what those schools add to basketball. UNC will probably have to bring NC State with them, but the SEC can live with that. Duke is also going to be an option here, depending on if UNC can get out without NC State. The SEC becomes dominant in basketball as well as Football. The endowment value on those schools is large and they generate $$$$$. Kansas is already investing in football now with a brand new 460 million dollar football stadium. The BIG gets what they want and the SEC gets what they want.

FSU is a different demographic than UFL, and FL is a huge state. Clemson is a different demographic from SoCar. SEC can still get FSU & Clemson AND UNC+NCSt. Big10 looking at MIA & Ga Tech or Pitt & SYR, or Pitt and Ga Tech...

SEC is just trying to negotiate a bump up in pay to equal the Big10 in exchange for taking on FSU & Clemson. Its a game of chicken with ESPN.

Some people are confused: Web search Q&A response excerpt: "Q: When does the new TV deal between the Southeastern Conference and ESPN start? A: It's a 10-year deal beginning in 2024-25 and concluding in 2033-34. It runs concurrently with a separate, existing 20-year agreement between ESPN and SEC that also runs through 2033-34."

The use of natural lighting in certain scenes adds an organic feel to the visuals. It's a subtle touch that contributes to the authenticity of the video.

A penny saved is a penny earned. ESPN can steer FSU & Clemson to the SEC by making the move a very low relative cost, compared to the cost of moving to the Big10. Saving money on the move put mobey back into FSU/CLEM's pockets.

Nobody wants the Va Schools except the Big12.

SEC future adds: 1st: FSU CLEM the crown jewels of the ACC; ESPN is not just walking away from them & ESPN has the leverage to steer FSU/CLEM to the SEC if they're leaving-regardless. Next: UNC+NCSt 3rd round: Kansas WVU OkSt +1 (Tx Tech ? or KsSt ? or Ga Tech ? or Louisville ?... probably TT or GT)

UCF over 7.5 Penn State under 9.5, PSU is looking like a 7-8 win team.

Staying away from all P4 O/U. Every P4 has new members. This year G5 more stable and predictable.

If the SEC gets UNC and UVA, then ND is in play for the SEC. It would be the only northern school the SEC would want.

Feldman is a whimp softie - blocked me on Twitter for disagreeing with him. I got no respect for Feldman.
