    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    One other thing: if ESPN actually exercises the 2025 termination right, all bets are off. I am not commenting on what anyone’s rights would be in that scenario. But ESPN won’t. They’ve locked up ACC content until 2036 at below market rates.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Yeah, my response to that is so what. To be clear, it wasn’t the GoR that changed, it was the ESPN-ACC contract. Contracts provide 1 sided termination rights all the time.

    Pollard: big announcement coming soon

    My suggestion is to realign/shift University Boulevard to the west, which would free up space in the existing right of way next to the park, and allow development on both sides of University. Retailers want to have visibility on a busy high traffic route.

    Pollard: big announcement coming soon

    If you’re a 17 year old recruit - whether you are from a big city or a small town - this is going to really resonate. Also, I think Pollard is going to succeed in attracting private investment to support this project. Sports-focused entertainment districts are all the rage nationally and have...

    $75 million football/athletics facility

    Pollard announced this facility on the Cydline show tonight. This is a big deal! The largest single athletics investment in university history. Does anyone have a link to the Cydline show? What do we know about this facility?
