Dabo isn’t leaving. He is set for life. And no body wants to be the man to follow the man at Bama.

Some rumors are saying some ACC schools are gonna try to join the SEC, with two of them being Clemson and Florida State.

If it happens the ACC's potential partnership with the Pac-12 will have been a total failure.

Also I have a feeling Florida State will be the new Vanderbilt.

I know Florida State has been a dumpster fire but new Vanderbilt is a stretch. Too much money and tradition for that school not to turn around. However, I feel Clemson is going to return to being Clemson with Dabo saying his good byes in the near future.
Why do you think Dabo is going to leave soon?

Well the conventional wisdom is that when Nick retires Dabo will go to Tuscaloosa.
How do we know Dabo will go to Alabama? It's just weird
Why is that weird? He has strong Alabama ties. It’s been long assumed he’d be the top candidate to replace Saban.

Note I said 'conventional wisdom'. Heck, maybe Mario will go when Nick retires. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

How is Clemson any different than Oregon? Major brand in a small media market. Does it add any value to the SEC? I would argue that Miami would be the better target.
I agree, I truly don't see the upside for Clemson. I would Prefer Miami

Dabo is a Bama Alum for starters and who wouldn't take the Bama job if offered? Especially if you are a coach at a program that may be sliding back into mediocracy.

With that said, if Dabo stays it wouldn't be a complete shock, they probably can afford to match whatever Bama offers and he loves him some Geez and working at Clemson gives him the ability to be way more religiously with his players.

Meanwhile, so many Americans are THIS CLOSE to cutting the cord with cable. I'd cut cable if I could watch the Ducks and Blazers on streaming services.
I cut the cable cord in 2011 and never looked back. The first year was a little challenging to figure out how to get all the content I wanted, but once I got past that hurdle, I was never going back. I can get every single Duck game via Sling, HD antenna, etc. I now have access to more sports than I ever did with cable through the use of apps and an antenna.

My bill is 1/2 of what cable was charging me. I have more content. And with apps, if I am are not going to watch for a period of time, I just pause my subscription and don't have to pay.

So, what would happen if instead of joining the B1G we go to the SEC?

I don't understand why anyone would want Oregon to join the SEC simply by virtue of our road games becoming absolute nightmares. We'd face a massive competitve disadvantage by having to travel so far for half of our games. At least with the alleged ACC partnership we'd still play most of our games on the west coast.
Willie Taggart is a dick.

Oregon to the SEC is viewed as a 'very long shot' at this time.

There are arguments you can make for the Big over the SEC, distance isn’t one of them. Bama is closer to UO then tOSU is.

Recruiting, recruiting, and recruiting. No matter how many ways you slice the pie, the best kids in the country want to play in the SEC. And they will. This is why LSU, Georgia and Bama have 5*'s 3 deep on the bench. The SEC is the gold standard of college football and that isn't going to change anytime soon.

Egghh. This changes with the times. The best kids wanted to play in Nebraska. Then Texas. Then Southern California.

Josh Allen played at Wyoming, Love at Utah St, players can get exposure anywhere.
