FSU is in the ABSOLUTE best possible spot they could ever dream of being in.

 

A powerhouse school in a P5 conference that is much weaker than any other P5 conference.  And an academically prestigious one at that.

 

They would be fools to leave. 

Unless they wanted bags and bags of money that the ACC cannot match.

I'm sure their recent national championship was pretty satisfying on the financial realm. 

 

According to Forbes, since 2004-05, the national championship winner has seen an average of 18.3% revenue increase from the year before they won to the year after they won. 

 

As long as the path is easy, they'll be fine where they are.

Probably covers the legal fees...

Nah.  I'm sure a big university like Florida State University has in-house counsel.

The B10 would love to take the Gators today, but they wouldn't take any other team in Florida until they achieve AAU status

 

So why wouldn't they take Miami? They have the resources to get AAU status very quickly if required and their academics are much better than Florida's

 

 

False by essentially every metric. Endowment, Research expenditures, Reviews (US news, princeton review). In the first two cases, we rival Miami much more closer than Miami rivals UF.

ACC teams are locked in with that agreement they all signed. It's not worth the money to get them out of the conference, it's a ridiculously high amount. And they're thugs.

Maryland?

 

Maryland voted against it, and left before it became official. They've got a pretty good case for keeping their TV money. We'll see, as it plays through the courts, FSU also had a good case, but stayed around, and is now stuck in the ACC.

??? It already played out. Maryland paid the ACC $31.4 million, got to leave for the B1G and keep their TV rights.

If it was upto me, I would want FSU to get into the SEC...

 

Save a spot for USF to sit in the ACC next to Miami...

 

 

[uF and UM would HATE that]...

 

but then again, it's not upto me.
