The B10 and SEC are not going to take any ACC schools without that school first negotiating a full release of the GOR. Inviting a school under pending litigation over several hundred million would be a disaster. We run the risk of being sued for tortious interference with a contract, plus the risk of the invited school losing the litigation and their home games owned by another conference for 15 years. Never going to happen, especially not when all we would get is a pro rata addition from ESPN.

FSU isn't going anywhere. They were just threatening more force than they could use.

Doesn't FSU have to announce by August 15th if they're going to play in the ACC for the 2024 season? Hopefully someone out there knows the answer.
FSU is nowhere close to the situation we just watched in the Pac-12. They are just huffing and puffing about their unhappiness. No one moves out of their house until they find a better one.

You know what is funny......the people who think that FSU is going to go balls to the wall in a legal fight over the Grant of Rights & the ACC contract, and yet they still think FSU will pay attention to the August 15th deadline mentioned in the contract that they (supposedly) feel is invalid.

Honestly it is what it is. The SEC needs to go ahead and take Clemson and FSU.
Can’t let the Big10 snag them. It’s an arms race and if there’s two teams needing a home in the heart of the south you snag them. This keeps the SEC’s regionality in tact while still growing. Not something that the Big10 can say. FSU and Clemson are natural fits in the SEC.

They are going to stay because the SEC, Big10 ain’t knocking on that door right now.

There is absolutely zero reason for the non big name schools in the ACC to give in to any of FSU’s demands.
The only reason would be if there actually was some compromise where FSU and Clemson would be happy long term and keep the conference in tact another 30 + years. But this is not just a money problem. FSU, Clemson, and ND are the only schools in the country who expect to compete at the national title level who are not in the SEC or Big Ten. FSU and Clemson know if they sit back for 15 years without being in that club that they will get left out of whatever new association gets formed to create a playoff between those two conferences.

So each SEC school gets less money with those two mouths to feed? I don’t think so, they don’t bring added value, cultural fit is irrelevant in this case. For the millionth time, Clemson and FSU add no monetary value to the SEC at this moment.

1. It would only work if the TV deal gets rehashed and more $ is distributed
2. How does Clemson and FSU not add any value? They are massive brands in the heart of the south. Go anywhere in the southeast and you’ll see plenty of Clemson and FSU representation. Both have a strong FB history and commitment. Clemson won two titles in the past 7 years.
They’d both immediately be in the top 8 for SEC brand prestige above the likes of mizzou A&M Kentucky Arkansas etc. any time you have a chance to get teams who have won titles and are historical brands, you jump.

Totally agree we should take them….. if they can get a GOR release negotiated.

FSU is stuck and they know it. They’re trying to get the ACC to budge on a different cost sharing model by inventing fake leverage (the PE move, hoping the SEC/B10 would throw them a life line) but the ACC is calling their bluff. If they could get out of the GOR, they would have by now.
This 100% correct. On top of that they have nowhere to go. The Big10 doesn't want them and the SEC even if there was some level of interest doesn't want them either because ESPN isn't giving them anymore money to take on another school right now. Hell they won't even pay for the SEC to play a 9th conference game. On top of that Florida would lead the charge to do anything to keep their dumbasses out of the SEC.
Fake leverage is the perfect term for their little tantrum and you can add "look at me moment" due to them thinking they will be nationally relevant this year for the first time in years. Free Shoes U can frick off. Weak Florist owns their arse anyway.

When are some of you going to finally understand that the Big 10 does NOT want FSU and Clemson???

F$U and Clemson better stay in the ACC. Neither the Big 10 nor the SEC wants them.

FSU and Clemson are not AAU schools so the Big 10 are not going to invite them. Full stop.
They don't add TV viewers to the SEC. They're not even in the list of Top 10 schools that have appeared in games with 4 million viewers from 2015-2022.
It will cost around 500 million. Yes that's Five. Hundred. Million. dollars to get out of the ACC GoR along with the buyout for the rights.
SEC and B1G aren't having any of that noise.

Oh, it's funny you should ask...
Columbia, MO Forecast · Morning. 65°. -- · Afternoon. 76°.
I almost had to turn on the a/c this afternoon.

No one here can control what becomes of the ACC or the SEC for that matter.
