Well look at that. Nebraska still isn’t back.

The Atlantic Coast Conference is expanding from its Eastern roots.
The ACC presidents and chancellors met Friday morning and voted to add three new schools -- Stanford, Cal and SMU, sources told ESPN. It will bring the league to 18 members -- 17 will play football full time in the league. The additions will be in all sports and will begin in the 2024-25 school year.

There were four holdouts earlier from adding them last month: Clemson, FSU, UNC and NC State. Reportedly NC State flipped.

I don't understand why they would hold out. It sounds like a license to print money.
The luck of the Irish, indeed.

All contract games with the Grant of Rights. Those four schools were the ones most likely to try to jump ship to the SEC, and the current setup of the ACC means only four schools are needed to block major votes. I can’t remember all the details, but I think the rationale was that if there were ever a vote to extend the Grant of Rights, any new school added would clearly be in favor of it because they came from a worse situation so they would want to lock in, whereas those four are already looking to get their bag in the SEC. I was surprised to see NC State’s name there originally because why take them if you can have the Tar Heels. Maybe they had some conversations and came to the same conclusion.

I broke out of that cult after going to college out east and realizing Boston fans were the same thing as Nebraska fans. At least as a kid Nebraska was still good and they could back up the fan myopia on the field. But it definitely made living back in Omaha during law school amusing.
Worst mistake Nebraska ever did was fire Frank Solich.

The athleticism to control his body the way he did is beyond description.

$addendum$ - Cal, Stanford and SMU will come at a significant discount, which will help create a revenue pool to be shared among ACC members. SMU is expected to come in for nine years with no broadcast media revenue, sources told ESPN, and both Cal and Stanford were expected to receive 30% shares of ACC payouts.
That money being withheld is expected to create an annual pot of revenue between $50 million and $60 million. Some of the revenue will be divided proportionally among the 14 full-time members and Notre Dame, while another portion will be put in a pool designated for success initiatives that rewards programs that win.

oh yeah, kid is good l
There was another reviewed play just like it that was spectacular. Wasn't a touchdown, but it was a far far more athletic play and it was almost impossible to tell if he was in.
We've got some damn good receivers making our young QB look like a stud.

Well the ACC is better than nothing, and that's about it. Once FSU, Clemson, and Miami inevitably go to the SEC, the ACC will fall apart too, so hopefully the AD keeps talking to the B1G in the meantime.

I think they would drop Cal if it were needed to get in the B1G. I just don't think the B1G wanted them this go round (which granted is odd since they seem like a decent fit).

Except they are two of the best schools in the nation. Although, I’ve not really followed Cal as much as Stanford- who we had just granted a non binding $1M research donation before I retired.

I think pretty much everyone agrees Cal and Stanford would be great B1G fits in multiple ways, but for some reasons the B1G itself did not see that. Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps they feel adding USC/UCLA/UO/UW is a lot to bite off right now, and they want to see how it works for a couple of years? I dunno.

I'm convinced he dropped the ball on that play you speak of. So, it would not have mattered.

Yeah, he was 100% out and from the Jumbotron you could make an argument either way on the ground. Likely dislodged as you say.

Miami beat Miami? Were they playing at the nexus of the universe?
