re: FSU and the SEC

There was a guy who called in talking about the history of the SEC and Florida State's bid for admission in 1990. Does anyone know the back story here? He claimed FSU wanted to join the conference (which I knew) but ultimately decided they didn't want to because they feared playing Auburn/Florida and other SEC teams (which I did not know).

Right as far as it goes.

That said, Free Shoes wanted in on the ACC basketball money. That agreement, while good then, still paled in comparison to SEC income, even before the Network.
