I think it’s mostly about market size and brand value. Market size is probably where the search starts(potential viewership) and brand loyalty is how they trim the list(how much of said market can you deliver).

Sounds like AD trying to up donations, “moves are gonna be made soon guys and if you donate a shat ton of money we will be in a good spot”

I mean, they sued the ACC in an effort to get out of the conference last year. Hard for me to imagine that they would take that extreme measure if they weren’t pretty damn confident that they had a better landing spot (B1G or SEC being the only clearly better options than the current ACC).

FSU definitely has a landing spot as do others. Once the buyout drops to a manageable level the next round begins and it will coincide with the playoffs expanding. It’s gonna be great for the sport and bring in more fans.
But I do completely understand the hatred of this from fans of teams who use to be the darlings and get invites every year by winning a lot of games against a bunch of nobody SEC teams. Those days are over. Don’t worry though, your team will still get in when the SEC and BIG get 8 a piece in a 24 team playoff. The problem is now you’ll have to win multiple games against high level competition instead of just 1 or 2. Queue the - we beat each other up mantra. The sport has moved past that.

Bobby Bowden $crewed FSU when he had a chance to get in the SEC and blew it. FSU is going to continue to pay for that bad decision for years.
Spot on and it hasn't ended. The culture is one of quitting. Look at what happened to their best team in years when they were snubbed by the playoff. The culture of taking the path of least resistance is still alive and well in Tallahassee....

eh, nobody could imagine the money involved in college sports 35 years ago. Not to mention, the SEC wasn't then what it is now (or was a few years ago), the ACC had won 2 football championships since the last won by an SEC school and 3 basketball championships since the last won by an SEC school, while having the defending national champion in each sport. That said, culturally, it just never made any sense to bypass the SEC for the ACC.

They dont have a GOR problem anymore. Buyout goes down yearly till 2036.

They do until they can afford to pay the exit fee. Sounds like FSU's AD thinks they can afford it in about 24 months.

That was more because they got Clemson's support.
All the progress you talk about in this thread came from Clemson, the effort from FSU has been basically incompetent in comparison. Clemson's lawyers are the ones who found out about the ESPN option in 2027 that kinda opened it all up.
So its going to be Clemson who pulls the trigger, and they likely will wait until its a smaller risk.
FSU doesn't have the leverage to take on the ACC by itself.
