The Big Ten will not have interest. FSU does not have the academic pedigree the Big Ten wants. That conference has already secured their big payday.  FSU won't add more money to them.  

Keep an eye on USF to big ten rumors this offseason…

I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

I wish. We need more than one blowout bowl win - but now the door is open for the American champion to get into the playoff - and consistently being in that conversation may get the Big Ten's attention. AAU membership is a big deal and we've also got a larger student body.

How crazy would they be. We are trending up at the right time. AAU, OCS, bowl win.  Now we need butts in the seats and let's win a conference.

FSU was close to AAU membership and should get it next go around.  Let's set our goals to more realistic conference.  Clemson and FSU to Big10.  USF and Tulane to ACC.  If two more leave ACC, then add Memphis and ....  The ACC surviving and thriving with us in it is the most realistic hope.

Just as news worthy as these halfbaked twitter post. Hint look at the top left...

I was going more for the "hasn't everyone been saying for years there is no way FSU makes it into the SEC" angle in response to the "recent" part. Had a thought to go back to pages 43-137 to find it but life is short. My Internet sarcasm failed.  Please forgive me.

The Big Ten would have no interest in Clemson. They also are not AAU.  UNC would be far more interesting to them.

As for FSU, their big issue is they have no accredited PhD programs for engineering without partnering with FAMU. The Big Ten is massive into Engineering and USF does have a strong engineering focus. USF also has a superior medical school compared to FSU and the best Nursing School in the state for a public institution. 

I have long thought (and this is informed as I have a lot of Big Ten family members and work with Big Ten school's athletic departments for my job (and other conferences - USF, UF, Georgia Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois, USC, UNC, Duke, Alabama, Auburn are just a few of my clients)) that if the Big Ten poaches the ACC, they will go for Duke, UNC, and Virginia. Duke and UNC would be the priorities. The Big Ten has football down. They would go for basketball and other sports.

Have not been told this officially or anything, but that is the vibe I get. FSU certainly could force a change but I am not sure the Big Ten is interested. Logistics also matter and it is a heck of a lot easier to get to Tampa or even Orlando if UCF ever climbs the ladder.

Another dark horse would be Tulane. They have the history. They have the academics. Less likely, but with their growth as a program, they are catching some eyes.

FSU is close to severe depression.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
