FSU probably is tired of the ACC - ForsythCoDawg UGA - 5/7 10:19:37

I Heard a Different Story - RhodeIslandRed LSU - 5/7 15:40:28

here are the quotes from Bowden - HungaryGator UF - 5/7 15:35:17

RE: here are the quotes from Bowden - TennesseeVol UT - 5/7 16:30:58

Travel expenses would be a consideration but... - alstl MU - 5/7 11:49:58

I don't see any way they could get 300 million per year - Merlin KC - 5/7 12:12:50

Is $300 million what the ACC gets?(nm) - alstl MU - 5/7 12:19:07

The ACC currently gets $155 million for football and bball - Bobk MU - 5/7 12:37:35

I doubt FSU will do anything until the new television deals - alstl MU - 5/7 15:30:25

ESPN owns tier 3 rights too - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 12:44:41

That is a stinker of a contract then - Bobk MU - 5/7 12:55:30

correct. Their contract sucks...especially considering - HungaryGator UF - 5/7 15:37:42

Yes it is awful - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 13:12:14

They aren't talking 20 million per school - Merlin KC - 5/7 13:02:40

Miami is a private school.... - NakedLadyMudFlap UGA - 5/7 11:07:47

Our Profile has Changed over the Years - RhodeIslandRed LSU - 5/7 15:47:35

the truth about private schools... - FootballRefugee MU

- 5/7 11:54:28

Vandy was founded by Cornelius (sp) Vanderbilt with - NakedLadyMudFlap UGA - 5/7 12:17:05

Vandy is a private school... - jlbomega MU - 5/7 11:35:13

And the least SEC like school in the league.... - NakedLadyMudFlap UGA - 5/7 11:58:55

Adding two Florida schools is different than two TN schools - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 12:04:53

I dont think we would add FSU.... - NakedLadyMudFlap UGA - 5/7 12:12:00

Who are the better fits that are realistic? - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 12:21:22

Va Tech has a bigger fan base in Virginia - HungaryGator UF - 5/7 15:43:02

I don't think we're interested in NC State..... - NakedLadyMudFlap UGA - 5/7 12:46:22

Okie State? - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 13:07:06

OU would be good, but they might - NakedLadyMudFlap UGA - 5/7 15:06:14

Virginia Tech isn't second-rate to Virginia in football. (nm) - TigerMatt SEC - 5/7 12:33:40

Interesting SEC related fact.... - NakedLadyMudFlap UGA - 5/7 12:53:42

I'm talking about brand value, prestige, and popularity - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 12:42:27

I don't see how the Big 12 will improve FSU's situation - Sarcastro MU - 5/7 10:45:57

the ACC's contract sucks relative to their size and ratings - HungaryGator UF - 5/7 15:44:27

ACC's payout is only going up $1-2MM after expansion - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 10:57:55

If that is the case, I think we wil find that - Sarcastro MU - 5/7 11:00:06

I tend to agree (nm) - Merlin KC - 5/7 11:33:38

Why? Who in the ACC is more valuable than UT and OU - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 11:06:05

The Big 12 foot print is tiny. Only 38.6 million people. (nm) - TigerMatt SEC - 5/7 11:49:23

There's no rule that footprint is most important - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 11:58:57

There is no rule for anything - SatoriTiger JC - 5/7 12:13:28

I have no doubt FSU and Clemson would prefer the SEC - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 12:28:53

RE: I have no doubt FSU and Clemson would prefer the SEC - TennesseeVol UT - 5/7 16:35:02

You are assuming they are eager to leave the ACC regardless - SatoriTiger JC - 5/7 12:57:44

Is the ACC stable? - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 13:11:07

It is stable - SatoriTiger JC - 5/7 13:12:36

Stable conferences don't have schools thinking of leaving - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 13:29:53

I see nothing indicating any school is actually thinking of - SatoriTiger JC - 5/7 13:32:56

Clemson already created a committee - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 13:45:24

Ok - SatoriTiger JC - 5/7 13:47:18

So schools actively evaluating leaving a conference - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 13:50:37

I'm doing no such thing - SatoriTiger JC - 5/7 13:53:13

That "report" was from a blog - SatoriTiger JC - 5/7 11:03:39

Only if.... - StlOx MU - 5/7 10:52:47

well, the big 12 added 1-2 million people - BlackFlagTiger MU

- 5/7 10:52:17

Guess they never heard of texass.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 5/7 10:50:47

Yup (nm) - TigerinKansas MU

Gabe said he'd talked with some FSU guys that ran - Merlin KC - 5/7 10:50:14

Gabe also said Va Tech was going to the SEC - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 10:58:39

I believe you mean to say MONDO. (nm) - McMuffin MU - 5/7 11:13:36

Probably more tired about lukewarm money - NYC Tiger MU - 5/7 10:38:41

Yes...and the ship has sailed for FSU, GaTech, and Clemson - Buck Mulligan BAMA - 5/7 10:23:57

agreed - HungaryGator UF - 5/7 16:06:49

"Cock fans if nothing else are loyal, - TigerJackSwartz MU - 5/7 10:23:45
