Because basketball? It's the ACC after all. At the time they were a basketball powerhouse....I still don't understand why we let Louisville in.

The same thing that all CFB decisions are derived by today: Money.I still don't understand why we let Louisville in. They are so far behind all other ACC schools in every academic metric I have seen.
And now they are a dumpster fire in Bball- oh no! you suck again ACCBecause basketball? It's the ACC after all. At the time they were a basketball powerhouse....
Another classic Swofford move.Panic move. Desperate to backfill Maryland.
Not sure if this was share but an article about FSU and others desire to leave the ACC
Sources: FSU ponders ACC future after CFP snub
Florida State is once again discussing its long-term future in the ACC after the Seminoles were left out of the College Football Playoff earlier this month, source told ESPN.www.espn.com
Yeah - well wake me when they pay the half billion.My sister-in-law and her husband are FSU grads. I have not talked to them about FSU leaviing the ACC until today. I shared a tweet with referencing this and got a criptic reply. "If the Noles remain in the ACC it won't be because they can't afford the buyout." She told me after Jimbo left that FSU had a ton of very rich boosters.
Yeah, I'll wager they're not that rich.Yeah - well wake me when they pay the half billion.
My feelings exactly. But, FSU has rich grads is part of the worship liturgy in Tallahassee.Yeah - well wake me when they pay the half billion.
Yeah, I'll wager they're not that rich.
My son wants the giant Lego star destroyer in the next 2 weeks. But unfortunately, he made some choices (spending his money elsewhere) that have precluded him from getting it.This is behind a paywall, but basically restates a lot of FSU/ACC history related to them wanting to leave. The key point? They want to be gone in 8 months.
Florida State's long game: A CFP snub and realignment unrest intersect
What is Florida State’s place in college athletics? And where should the Seminoles be five or 10 years from now?theathletic.com
Somewhat devil's advocate, but they can spend 500 mil on NIL, and then what? Go undefeated?My son wants the giant Lego star destroyer in the next 2 weeks. But unfortunately, he made some choices (spending his money elsewhere) that have precluded him from getting it.
I’m interested to see what FSU tries to do to get out of the GOR and the exit fee that they agreed to. Indications are it's pretty rock-solid. And even if they do have a ton of "rich boosters" like they claim, you can buy a lot of NIL with $500-750MM.
Regardless, until they try it, it’s all sound and fury, signifying nothing. Reminds me of when my son was a 3 year-old, candidly. He thought if he was loud enough, he would automatically get his way. We had to be firm in convincing him that the real world doesn't work that way.
The acc cut a deal with ESPN guys THAT INCLUDED FSU.Yeah - well wake me when they pay the half billion.
Seeing as how it was aEcSPN that engineered leaving F$U out, maybe they’re tampering?The acc cut a deal with ESPN guys THAT INCLUDED FSU.
Failure to provide FSU games could be a MATERIAL BREACH OF THAT CONTRACT.
ESPN is running low on AD $ so they may take a hard stance on ANY Reduction in the TV product. At that point ESPN could reduce payments and say take it or sue me.
Bingo!!Shouldn't that measure academic success of the football team; not the entire student body?
If FSU boosters are willing to immediately throw $500 million in the ring to get out of the ACC, then why are they concerned about being behind other teams in revenue a measly $50 million per year? I mean, just have those boosters kick in an extra $50 million per year, and FSU is on a level playing field with the teams they say they are currently behind.My sister-in-law and her husband are FSU grads. I have not talked to them about FSU leaviing the ACC until today. I shared a tweet with referencing this and got a criptic reply. "If the Noles remain in the ACC it won't be because they can't afford the buyout." She told me after Jimbo left that FSU had a ton of very rich boosters.
That depends a lot on how the ACC/ESPN contract is worded. As far as I know, that contract has never been made public.At that point ESPN could reduce payments and say take it or sue me.
