Sigh. College football is now all about the money. Competition and tradition be damned of course.
They've been in the acc 30 years. Unless you were worried about Texas , Oklahoma, a&m, Nebraska , USC , Oregon etc, your point on FSU makes no sense

I think the B1G decision was made midseason. Finebaum and others were actually saying FSU and Clemson to the sec made sense early on in the year. GameDay type shows were hyping up FSU.Would FSU even want to go to the SEC due their deal with ESPN?
Between ACC and SEC or independent in a heartbeat to SEC, between BIG and SEC more logical choice is SEC but as NW posted would SEC take FSU?Would FSU even want to go to the SEC due their deal with ESPN?
Don't think they'd take Clemson. But FSU, Miami, UNC and Notre Dame could happenWould the BIG take all 3 Clemson, Miami, and FSU? Think Clemson may end up stuck in ACC. Washington got lucky to be included in the BIG when they did, timing is everything. Won't happen but geographically would be nice if BIG and SEC would do a swap the 3 ACC schools to the SEC for Okie, Tx., and TA&M. Or Okie and Tx. for Miami and FSU.
22 teams, I suppose. ND seems too holier than now to join a conference but would be cool to see AEW eating some crow with ND in the BIG. Maybe substitute Clemson for ND in that scenario but good pt. about NC had forgotten about them.Don't think they'd take Clemson. But FSU, Miami, UNC and Notre Dame could happen
The only logical choice is for every team to be independent and form an NFL-style league instead of playing the pointless game of conference musical chairs. FSU to the Big Ten makes no sense which means that’s exactly what’ll happen. (Keep in mind FSU is riding high at the moment, but many years they’d regularly be mincemeat in the SEC. They don’t want that.)Between ACC and SEC or independent in a heartbeat to SEC, between BIG and SEC more logical choice is SEC but as NW posted would SEC take FSU?
ND will ultimately be on the right side of history once their model of being independent in football and in a conference for other sports gets adopted by the rest of the country.22 teams, I suppose.

This must explain why ND stays independent.The only logical choice is for every team to be independent and form an NFL-style league instead of playing the pointless game of conference musical chairs.

Thank GOD Phillips did not succeed Warren. That deal is probably the worst spanking college football has seen.By far the most interesting aspect of this is the detail that ESPN can opt out of the ACC deal in 2027.
The network having what amounts to a 9 year "team option" (2027-36) on a contract while the schools allegedly are locked to a GOR until 2036 might be the worst contract/agreement that I've ever heard of.
I think FSU and UNC are at the top of the Big10 wish list.Don't think they'd take Clemson. But FSU, Miami, UNC and Notre Dame could happen
There is no love for FSU in SEC land, yet if they can lever more dollars from ESPN, they would take the Noles in a heartbeat. Same for the Big 10 and Big 12.Between ACC and SEC or independent in a heartbeat to SEC, between BIG and SEC more logical choice is SEC but as NW posted would SEC take FSU?
