I'm only familiar with the more recent cartoon adaptation of that film.

Took me forever to find it Saturday. Actually tuned into their sportscenter, way too many graphics at once

Yeah I had the same problem, I couldn't even figure out what channel it was until Saturday. You'd think they would have advertised that beforehand.

I tried watching their morning highlights show and got the same impression. I changed the channel when they showed the "WATCH IT!! WATCH IT!!" bit.

At least they have a winning football team at this expense.

MD did a ready,fire, aim with this exit, the pres will end up in their Hall of Shame, hope ACC continues to keep squeezing their financial nutz, how can an athletic dept with no money afford a $50M penalty shot, asshole move all the way

By thinking you wouldn't pay it until after you started realizing Big 14 cash, not realizing (like a moron) that the ACC would just retain over $35 million in your revenues for 2 seasons as self-help, thus further exacerbating your financial problems.

They did this for long term financial stability. There is a lot of short term financial pain in doing so. That doesn't mean that in 10/15/20 years they will look back on it as a bad economic decision. It's likely quite the opposite. To be clear, Loh's entire focus has been on the economic-side of the move. He doesn't care about tradition. He doesn't care about the success of the sports teams. All he is concerned about is his University not having to subsidize the follies of the athletic department. It really isn't unlike Leahy who moved us to the ACC... mainly for the academic and prospective student opportunities.

I continue to question whether the BTN is something that will continue to double the B10's TV revenues through strong-arming cable companies to pay insane per viewer subscriptions. However, even in a subscription-less format, the B10 is going to generate more money than the ACC. As such, eventually such a move will one day be considered profitable.

It should be noted that there are a few financial factors that are more difficult to quantify: added research revenue for being a part of CIC, stronger/weaker interest in the school from the elevation or depression of their athletic teams, detriment to admissions for trading a pool of students from a growing area of the country for one that is dying.

That can't be remotely true. It's only the 3 relevant sports that are truly bad, and only recently.

I'd say it is true for the last 2-3 years.

Baseball is in the crapper... nags Hoops sucks... we basically are the doormat in every other ACC sport: golf (11th), tennis (11th), track & field (12th), swimming & diving (8th of 9), softball (last), nags tennis (last), nags swimming/diving (9th out of 10), nags track & field (12th). Thanks GDF! Outside of soccer, hockey and sailing (all coached by the only coaches in the Athletic Department that pre-date GDF and whom he had not had a chance to fire), BC sports is the definition of Epic Fail.

Mr. Strawman,

I mentioned 10 programs (excluding the "3 relevant sports" that you already deemed to be "truly bad") not 5. It should also be noted that BC does not compete in the ACC for all 34 sports... a concept that seems difficult to understand for posters with sheepskins from Northeastern or a SUNY diploma mill.

All Players Unite

Some day, some one is going to write a book entitled "Killing the Golden Goose" about how college administrators (i.e. the worst businessmen) destroyed college sports. People like to blame the NCAA. But, the reality is that the majority of issues that are coming to the forefront now are from conferences thinking they are corporate entities. While P12 struck the best deal, the SEC and B10 are the ones who have openly and notoriously raped the system for every penny with no concern of those who provided the product. This is essentially how EVERY union was born.

Administrators post on these boards!!

"So far, this is unfolding just as we expected," Brian Ullmann, the university's assistant vice president for marketing and communications, wrote in an email to deputy athletic director Nathan Pine on Nov. 18, one day after negotiations on the impending move were disclosed in the media. "We knew that in the absence of our messaging during this initial stage, most fans would react emotionally and negatively. That has occurred and clearly the message boards and comments sections skew heavily negative. Several of us placed comments on boards and media sites last night to help balance it out."
