Unconquered

I liked her too...

The ony negative is she rolled over when Coach Bowden threatened to quit if Jeff wasn't hired. However, I respect her for admitting that down the road.

Her? Is that sarcasm?

He will now get out of the way if this was a sincere email. However, this could have been by design so as not to seem too needy to the Big 12. It needs to appear to the big 12 and maybe even the SEC or ND (If they are thinking about an ACC conference affiliation) that some of the decision makers at FSU are not on board.

That will also give a potential other option time to manifest itself. See above. I personally think the SEC will cut off its nose to spite its face as evidenced by taking money loser Mizzou. It will be reduced to taking it hopes Va tech and a louisville. there is a more than good chance Louisville will be the better of the two teams to get it to 16 if we are not 15.

mizzou costs them money to be in the conference. Also, mizzou has the same travel issues we would going to the big 12. They seem to think its ok.

As to us, you honestly don't think Barron is pissed about the ACC deal? Swofford "probably" inferred there was big 12 type money coming to the ACC.

Our TV deal is the poster child why the "Geographic Footprint" arguument is a load of crap. We added the Penn and NY markets. We should have the biggest contract. Wait, peope have to watch the games for the geogrpahic footprint to matter?

Then it so only about people watching the games after all. We deliver that in spades.

Remember, there is no rush to finish this process.

Except it's not unlimited. As I said, get your damn facts straight. Cry you a river? What are we, in the 3rd grade?

Being able to offer market value tuition is a separate issue from that of budget cuts.

Calm down, guys.

Oooh goodie. I can play this game.

Fact: If FSU prices itself out of the market students will quit applying.

Agreed.

As someone who is all for a move, I think it is pretty silly to be talking about firing Barron over this. Although, I do hope/believe he needs to keep a more open mind on this.

They are space limited and foster a small, private school mentality. Unless you are being intentionally dense, it's clear that Miami is marketing a different product type.

The demand curve for college education is jumping up yearly and to unprecedented levels. The demand curve is also fairly inelastic. Not as much as for, say, fossil fuels, but it is much more so than other services. There is surplus demand you can use to tailor your product to and get the type of student you want. Simple fact is kids will continue to demand college education even to levels up to 150% or 200% of current rates. The rates in other states clearly show that.
