Latest / The Jake Wimberly Podcast / The hourglass turns in the ACC with Clemson and Florida State
Transcript
- 0:00Real quickly your thoughts of you know, the as the our glass turns,
- 0:05so to speak, in the ACC with Clemson and Florida State, and I
- 0:09don't you know, You've got the ACC kicking back and Jim Phillips saying,
- 0:14hey, look no, this is you know, we're going to stand our
- 0:16ground. It feels very similar to what was going on with George claviakofv in
- 0:20the in the PAC twelve and then ultimately that whole thing unfolded. Is that
- 0:24are we seeing a repeat of what happened in the big in the in the
- 0:27PAC twelve. I think we are with one exception and the legal scholars will
- 0:33have to jump in and take my place here. But that's her mind,
- 0:36folks. The PAC twelve had no grant of rights, so USC UCLA,
- 0:41Aregon, Washington pick up and leave with no penalty. The ACC right now
- 0:47there is a grant of rights. Now Clemson after Florida State did it,
- 0:52are now suing that it's unfair and what have you. You know, I
- 0:57don't know legally, I mean, you know, I don't know what that
- 1:00means. A leaga. I don't know if it could be contested in one
- 1:03and I don't know who to win. I have no clue. I mean,
- 1:07just guess flip a coining guest. I don't know. So there's more
- 1:10obstacles there, so it's a little more cumbersome to deal with. But yes,
- 1:15it feels like and I actually did something of that actually about twenty about
- 1:19the forty five to fifty minutes ago, about that on one of my podcasts
- 1:25about just that it feels like it's going to collapse. Which again, let's
- 1:29remind folks why people say, well, why would they bring in cal Stanford
- 1:34and sm It makes no sense. Remember, the grant of rights agreement says
- 1:38that if they fall below a certain number of teams, then the grant of
- 1:42rights is revoked. So by putting cal Stanford on SMU, they're anticipating Jim
- 1:49Phillips did that they're going to lose two teams or more or maybe three.
- 1:53So this allows them to still hold to the grant of rights agreement to the
- 1:59other schools like North Carolina Miami at all, because there's the right number or
- 2:05enough number of teams in the program. But yeah, it looks like it
- 2:09kind of looks like everyone's a little different. You got the power too,
- 2:14And then pac twelve is folded as you mentioned, and then the Big twelve
- 2:17has done a good job with numbers, and it looks like they've settled in
- 2:21to look, we're not the big boys anymore, but we're gonna have a
- 2:23good conference and we're gonna have a whole bunch of people. You wonder if
- 2:28the ACC is gonna try that model. If they lose Florida State Clempson,
- 2:31can they go? I mean, who's still left? Will they go and
- 2:34maybe get somebody? You know, they've always stuck up their nose that somebody
- 2:38like West Virginia academically? Will they look at people and say, can we
- 2:40do something? Can they offer something better than the Big twelve? Good question
- 2:46in all questions that today I might have a different answer for you than six
- 2:51months or a year from now, depending on how these lawsuits are threats of
- 2:53lawsuits come out. Make sure to grab him on exit Landry Football Landry football
