OT: New ACC Deal To Reward Clemson and FSU?

They have the ratings for the games each week so all the figures are there. All you have to do is get a pencil and a piece of paper and do a little simple arithmetic and you can figure out the statistics that you were looking for.

Regarding your argument about the ratings for Florida State going up if they play better teams, you can say that about anybody.

Here's the point I'm making. It's got nothing to do with trashing Florida State. You said yourself that Florida state is in the second tier of the ratings.

What I'm saying is, given the huge amount of money that the Big Ten and the SEC now make, only those top tier schools are going to generate enough money to make it worthwhile for those conferences to expand.

To make it worthwhile for a conference to expand, the new teams will have to do two things.

One, bring in at least enough revenue so that splitting the pie extra ways, the conference will still break even.

Two, the new schools have to bring additional revenue so that the the payout per school increases.

Given how much money that the SEC and the Big Ten are now making, the new schools are going to have to generate a TON of Revenue to meet those two criteria. What I'm saying is, the only schools that are going to be able to do that at this point are going to be the top tier ratings generators.

Not really. There's a reason we consistently play in prime-time games, against prime-time teams. That' doesn't happen by mistake

Yes, we're second tier
There's the OSU level with a handful of schools, and everyone else
My point is, you throw us in the B1G or SEC, we're right on the precipitous of Tier 1 (not at OSU's level, but a tick below)

Re. your assertion for worthwhile to expand encompasses revenue (true) and payout increases (true), would the B1G take A & M? I think most people would say yes

A & M's ratings, sans the Manziel years, are solid Tier 2
They've been in the SEC for a decent amount of time, yet haven't cracked the UT echelon, nor ever will
Additionally, the cable box angle that helped Rutgers get into the B1G a decade ago is now out the window

There's a few schools these leagues are looking at. Mainly from the ACC are you guys, us, ND and UNC
Not saying the rest don't have a chance to get in (not BC/Cuse/Wake), but those are the big fish right now

The helicopter had its tracking technology turned off, the technology better allows ATC to follow the flight.
So not only was the copter 100 feet higher than it was supposed to be, it’s tracking system was off in the busiest airspace in the country.
Somehow, I’m going to be told “this isn’t unusual”

No.

You're going to be told that ADS-B (the system that was turned off) isn't the primary data source. The aircraft's Mode C transponder is the primary data source. Not all aircraft have ADS-B capability.

Great summary. Only things I would add:

- The Martini 3 was on a cross court pass from JWill, not Harper. Terrific find after he hesitated with the ball on the left wing and threw a laser pass to the right wing.

- In your player summaries, I think it’s worthy to mention Sommerville’s HUMONGOUS clutch 12 foot jumper in the paint in crunch time, off of a terrific pass from Harper as he was being double teamed at mid court. Sommerville has really been struggling to find his outside jump shot over the past several games, and boy was that ever a good time to find his stroke.

Pretty sure the made Martini 3 was actually assisted by Davis, not Williams or Dylan.

It doesn't have the weekly ratings by team, it has them by game

Check out some of the big-time games we've had the past few years (Bama, LSU x 2, Ole Miss, UGA, etc.)
Monster ratings, and prime time games
You don't get the prime-time slot, on a continual basis, by not generate big $$ ratings

Again, check out the link I posted on here, putting us at 14th during a fairly pedestrian stretch
https://chopchat.com/2022/07/02/fsu...ll-top-15-nationally-depsite-last-five-years/

Additionally, we're significantly weighed down, ratings wise, by playing in the ACC
Put us in the B1G or SEC, and we'd shoot a lot farther up the rankings by playing teams that actually have fans (Clemson, Miami, ND)
*** Texas should, and is, much higher than 14, but was also weighed down by playing in the Big 12

Right now, in the ACC, we're mid second tier ratings wise
Throw us in B1G or SEC, we'd likely be upper second tier, or lower first tier (still below OSU/UM, etc.)

Would turning off the ADS-B have anything to do with the helo being ~ 1 mile off course and 100ft too high?

Disclaimer I am not an expert here.....

But the transponder exists for reporting position information out to air traffic control. So rather than relying on a radar to tell them (ATC) where aircraft are, the aircraft broadcast their exact position(as well as other status data).

Correct.

I also hope the NTSB suggests far more sane and strict parameters on, low flying military aircraft in the airspace of commercial aircraft in final decent landing configurations
Click to expand...
As an FYI, the military(and government agencies in general) negotiated an agreement with the FAA to allow government aircraft to fly without ADS-B turned on in controlled airspace in 2019.

Edit- looks like ADS-B was not a requirement for all aircraft until 2020(with the exception for government aircraft mentioned above)

the 12z gfs has a really weird map and you see the gradient pretty insane...can go from less than an inch in western belle mead to 3 inches in somerville.....and really seems to focus things more so to the north and east

Posting Pivotal maps in mixed snow/sleet events is misleading, as it makes it look like there's no frozen precip for areas getting significant sleet (i.e., most areas showing less than 3-4" of pure snow). For the GFS, the comparison of the TT and Pivotal maps are also showing more sleet (a bit like the NAM) where the sleet amount = (TT "snow" (which includes 10:1 sleet) - Pivotal pure snow)/3; when they show the same amount of "snow" that means no sleet. Would be nice to have a sleet map and a pure snow map.
