McMurphy confirms what everyone knows - SEC/Big 10 don’t want FSU

Adding any large program right now is just going to dilute the money for the schools. Gotta wait for that next television negotiation. Now let's shut up about realignment for another decade.

Back to top Posted on 7/16/24 at 9:34 am to AHM21 It doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be a good add in the future, it just means that the TV networks aren’t willing to open contract negotiations or pay more per team than they currently are with the existing deal.

They don’t bring anything to the table. Just dilutes the money distribution. Frick ‘em. I agree they are a disrupter

I wonder if FSU will have to belly crawl back to ACC and ask for forgiveness for being a disruptive partner.

ACC will say “sure, but we are legally corralling your bitch arse for decades.”

The media was saying UW and Oregon wouldn’t be added by the Big 10 as well.

They weren't going to, but the PAC collapsed and Fox didn't want those programs to rot or maybe go to the ACC. UW and Oregon didn't put themselves in that position, the B1G did.

FSU is different. They are crashing the gate and screwing up a conference that would otherwise be stable.

They’re not tier 1, but tier 2 still brings plenty of eyeballs

Again the issue is the SEC won't get more money by adding them. They didn't get more money per team by adding Texas and OU, and FSU/Clemson have less worth than them.

The earliest the SEC will add teams is leading up to the end of their current TV contract in the early 2030's. 5-7 years down the road... sure. Now? I don't think there is interest.

Interesting language, fsu will not be added to the big/sec IF the acc SURVIVES. Sounds like fsu has a plus one but no offer.

Its no wonder the powers that should not be have been able to distract divide and conquer.... These freaks will believe just about everything written in books, newspapers, magazines, & the internet for centuries and they probably believed the "rumors" fabricated by the control structure before that.... Obligate slaves

Texas and Oklahoma were willing to honor every year of their agreement with the Big 12.

But you didn't. They worked out an agreement to leave the Big 12 a year or two earlier than the agreement stipulated they could. I believe the original agreement wouldn't have allowed Texas and OU to join the SEC until 2025 or 2026.

Yes, you got them to agree without taking them to court, but you didn't live up to the agreement. You negotiated an out.

The reality for Texas is they really messed up in the first expansion craze. They did a very poor job of reading the tea leaves. They had their choice of where to go. Had they gone to the Big 10 or SEC then, there likely wouldn't have been a second expansion scenario like we're having now. Had they gone to the Pac-10, it might have solidified that conference and prevented them from being cherry picked by the Big 10.

They made a short term decision that was good for them that was not good in the long term. And it screwed up a lot of the rest of the landscape of college football when they did it.

They had every right to make the call they did. But even Texas fans have to realize it wasn't the right decision looking back on it.

I think the Big Ten and SEC are both posturing to be quite honest.

I believe they want FSU, Clemson, and a few others out of the ACC but the money doesn't make sense. The next time the Big Ten and SEC are entering a renegotiation window, this stuff will heat up OR these ACC schools go to the Big-12 to prop them up as the 3rd leg of the power conference stool.

We already own the state...
