What do you think happens to the ACC ?

No idea.

The problem is that some of the colleges they probably would've gone for have already signed with other conferences (University of Central Florida, for example), and I'm not sure what colleges they can peel off of other conferences in the geographic area they already cover.

That said, they do have an advantage in that they're in a more compact geographic footprint than a lot of these new sprawling conferences, plus there's more more room for a team to grow than in other conferences. Sure, FSU, Clemson, and Miami are the big boys, but right now, things are looking about as good as they ever have for team to upset that dynamic a lot faster than in other conferences.

Pac-12 should've had a contingency plan on preventing things like this. I understand why USC and UCLA bailed to the Big 10

3.) Herm Edwards of Arizona State

I think Norvell gets off the hot seat if he gets a winning season. From what I can tell, the administration has been rebuilt and seems to be backing him, but the fans are desperate to see Norvell's stuff pay off.

That said, considering how badly Taggart fucked up on recruiting/development and how dysfunctional things were in the athletic department prior to the new guy coming, Norvell's done well.

What about David Shaw of Stanford and Chip Kelly of UCLA?

Herm Edwards has blackmail photos of the entire ASU leadership, it's the only explanation for him not being fired yet

You think Edwards has something on the ASU leadership? Wonder what incriminating stuff and evidence?
