Anyone else hear this rumor?
This guy works for 247 but haven’t seen this anywhere else. Doesn’t make sense to leave the SEC.

Are UF and SC disgruntled?

Why would any SEC school want to leave and especially to a conference that will eventually fold?

So the pitch is “abandon your multiple rivals, superior tv deal and massive financial advantages with your old conference and come to ours where other schools are suing to leave so you might not lose as much!”?

Would be hilarious if Florida went to the ACC and we took FSU and Miami.

Florida is a charter member and not going anywhere. I don't think the SEC wants FSU and Miami or we'd have them by now

I’ve been saying that for months

It makes sense really as the other two take football seriously

USCe fans hate the ACC. Apparently they were treated very bad the last time they were in that conference

idk about SC but the UAA and Gator boosters are very disgruntled with how much they have to spend just to try to be mediocre in the SEC

You should do it, Florida. Look how well it worked out for Georgia Tech!

We'll gladly give exchange them for Clemson and Miami.

While we're at it, Missouri and Arkansas are free to join the Big 12

Well, I guess the fairly older ones do. I'm nearly 38 so the ACC was before my time.

Seems unlikely. Just a few months ago there were numerous rumors about the SEC poaching FL State and Clemson. Maybe we can just trade them straight up?

I'd love to ditch Jort Nation and the Beach Chickens.

it would be great for UF but no UGA. You don’t want to deal with the U peaking on an annual basis
