Biggie Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Let’s be real, the PAC 10 sucked anyway. Florida State could leave the ACC but I think it’s just a ploy to gain a bigger piece of the money pie. They enjoy the weaker competition of the ACC. If they moved to the SEC they would become Vanderbilt 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FSU president came right out and said that's exactly the reason. Florida State trustees threaten to leave ACC over revenue imbalances THEATHLETIC.COM FSU's president called the ACC situation an 'existential crisis' for Florida State and encouraged the ongoing exploration of other options. Quote After months of inflammatory language and complaints about the ACC’s revenue distributions, Florida State University leadership finally made a not-so-veiled threat to the conference of which it has been a member since 1991. “I believe that FSU will have to, at some point, consider very seriously leaving the ACC — unless there were a radical change to the revenue distribution,” FSU president Rick McCullough said at a meeting of the Seminoles’ Board of Trustees on Wednesday.

Chris- Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 FSU isn't going anywhere; the conference's grant of rights runs through 2036 and is more or less unbreakable (FSU openly said its counsel have studied it for over a year, and they still haven't figured a way out). Between that and the fact that FSU/Clemson leaving would spell the end of the conference, the ACC will bet the house and the farm against any and all litigation.
