A lot of interesting subjects to discuss. As for the ACC deal, it now allows an affordable escape clause in the 2030 time frame for schools that wanted to shop themselves for a better deal (FSU, Clemson, UNC, etc). Sorta like Free Agency. The reduced-fees out comes at the same time the SEC/Big10 media deals come up for renewal...no coincidence. I think a couple schools will leave. For Memphis, Tulane, and USF...they were approached by the PAC, and after getting low-ball tentative offers they declined the pursuit. I read that all would prefer to wait for ACC openings as backfill. The PAC, once they have media numbers, and settle their poaching court case with the MWC may make another attempt at AAC schools. I read they would focus on Texas schools this time. Would we, should we pursue?

McNeese is a very good program with a coach that can recruit in a big time way. They are a fun program to watch.
