I'm sure all that "anger and emotion" will help them make good decisions about how to proceed.

Ironically, they’re probably better off in the ACC going forward from a playoff standpoint. Unless they can escape the ACC financially, they should stay put.

As an FSU grad (who is pretty indifferent to university) this has been their objective for multiple years now. They know they put the conference behind the 8-ball by signing that ludicrous deal with ESPN through 2036. The revenue gap, yearly just based on TV money, is $36M per year per school….that’s unreal….think about Northwestern or Rutgers getting $36M more than FSU yearly just bc they are in the Big 10.
The problem FSU has, is UF is adamant that FSU not be invited to SEC (which is fair IMO)….how long can UF keep the SEC at bay though?
I still do not see FSU as a Big 10 member. Culturally and academically I just don’t see it…..I really think AAU membership is a requirement and FSU is at least 3-5 years away. Even then, I have my doubts…
I think the SEC makes, by far, makes the most sense for FSU…that said, there are ACC members that make sense for the Big 10 (UNC, Duke, Syracuse, UVA, Ga Tech, Miami….mostly name these schools bc of affiliation with AAU).

Let the SEC take Florida State and Clemson...PLEASE. I want to see Reverend Dabhole get his taint kicked in 6 times a year until he quits.

No surprise, but just announced they are suing ACC for anti-trust violations. At Board Meeting they suggested once they file suit, and ACC responds to the complaint, they expect other schools to jump on board their lawsuit. They are filing the lawsuit electronically today, and expect ACC to receive the day after Christmas.
If court ultimately rules in their favor, that there are anti-trust violations, FSU and any other school that joins lawsuit, would be able to exit the ACC conference with zero penalty due to violation on anti-trust law. The lawsuit is being placed in Tallahassee, FL…..would imagine ACC would petition to have it moved elsewhere but FSU is filing the lawsuit in regards to Florida law. Would imagine they’d have a pretty sympathetic judge in case if it remains in Tally.
As it currently stands, FSU confirmed it would cost them $572M to exit the current contract.

Wonder if that means... cost them in FUTURE revenue sharing which they're walking away from
or they'd have to pony up to leave
I'm guessing the former.. their rev share is about $50M per year of existing media contracts
vs B1G is more like $100M each per year

Wrong glass, Sir.
FSU is a lot farther away than 3-5 years. They have a high usnwr ranking due to Florida's demographics which allow them to have a 25% acceptance rate, but things aren't all that great beyond that. Med school is ranked 98th. Endowment is 700M, and most recent research number was 400M. To put that in perspective, the juggalos easily eclipse all three of those numbers. I just don't see the B1G having any interest when--if they win their suit--it would immediately open up the possibility of getting UNC and UVA and maybe Duke, GaTech and/or Miami.
I could see FSU making things political within the state legislature to force UF to support their SEC candidacy, but that could turn out the same way as if there was ever a vote to admit the juggalos to the B1G, Ohio State could throw them a pity vote for political reasons while secure in the knowledge that the rest of the conference would be voting no.

Maybe in 5 years but if FSU moves soon it's unlikely to be the SEC.
They are presently pissed off at the SEC and ESPN for perceived fucking with the committee to fuck them over and leave them out of CFP.
They believe ESPN, Bama, and the SEC colluded against them. In a few years cooler heads will likely prevail but now. They are all Fuck the SEC

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Yeah, Oregon State and Washington State will be looking for 5 more teams in the next 2 years to fill out the PAC-12; however, the PAC-2's TV revenue is about "zilch" now......
