They didnt regret it when they SIXTEEN conference titles in the ACC.
Those national championships and conference titles would not have happened easily in the sec.
However if their product is good, then they have nothing to worry about. Contraction will hit the sec one day too.

Precisely,……and the relative worth of SIXTEEN ACC titles is reflected by how badly the FSU AD wants to get out of the ACC and into the SEC.

How many fricking teams is this conference going to have
No one wants to hear this and I don't care for it, but the real way is to break out the top 32 teams from their conferences, schedule with actual parity, and run a wildcard/playoff system like the NFL. There aren't any programs perennially outside of the top 20 or so that really has a chance anyway.
Leave everyone else (33+) to play in the old bowl system as a lower series. Maybe even add promotion and relegation.
Right now there are way too many uncontrollable factors, and SOS is the largest elephant in the room.
By suggesting they're moving to 24 slots in a playoff, it makes me think they're looking at the top 48 teams — basically the SEC and the Big Ten with 24 teams each (like a larger AFC and NFC with divisions). Which will keep us firmly in this mess.

More movement? Like, with a laxative?

This clowns always talk a mean game but when it comes time to put up or shut up they are churchmice.
The ACC is not going to let 10 years of rights go that easily.
The BDF let Texas and Oklahoma out but only after they got paid and that was 1 year early.
Sure some judge may make a brainlock decision but absent that them bitches are staying put for a while.

The settlement from the FSU and Clemson lawsuit against the ACC reduced the penalties to leave the conference and provides that the schools keep their own media rights if they pay the exit fee. If a school leaves in 2027, they pay $129 million, in 2028 - $111 million, 2029 - $93 million, 2030 and beyond - $75 million. I wouldn't be shocked to see a school as desperate to leave as FSU eating the larger fee in the next couple years. Hell, Texas A&M paid Jimbo Fisher nearly that amount just to get him out of town.
