Don't be amazed...

Similar to Miami, FSU has been recruiting with the elite for decades, despite being in the backseat to other conferences revenue wise. There's no "sky-is-falling" reason for a program like FSU to be freaking out the way they are. Conversely, look at how many schools in the B1G and SEC out revenue FSU and don't come close to matching their recruiting chops, never have, and never will. Over the last 30 years, you could probably point to 1 school, Oregon, that has moved into the ranks of an elite program borne out on the recruiting trail. It's the same cast of characters decade in and decade out. Sure things could change, anything could happen, but its far from unreasonable to expect more of the same.

Big 12 courting Florida State?
Hokie1992 • 07/11/24 06:35 AM ET
Supposedly SEC and Big10 are not interested in FSU/Clemson
40ozDistrict • 07/11/24 11:10 AM ET
They can't go anywhere right now that's why **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/12/24 01:39 AM ET
I don't believe a word of the above statement, it is "fake news" !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/11/24 09:25 PM ET
Why would the Commissioner of either P2 conference tell a CFB "Insider"
tallahasseehokie • 07/11/24 08:17 PM ET
I agree....
2hhoop3 • 07/11/24 08:28 PM ET
Lotta things to consider from a legal perspective though……
RJHokie • 07/11/24 08:43 PM ET
That could be true........
2hhoop3 • 07/11/24 08:55 PM ET
Isn’t the GOR at the core of that discussion?
Hokie1992 • 07/12/24 10:09 PM ET
I think they can go........
2hhoop3 • 07/12/24 10:21 PM ET
My take is….
RJHokie • 07/11/24 09:03 PM ET
Thanks........
2hhoop3 • 07/11/24 09:09 PM ET
Is that the opposite of the way it works in marriage?
Hokie1992 • 07/13/24 07:45 AM ET
One minor point......
2hhoop3 • 07/13/24 09:55 AM ET
nothing for them to discuss until a path out of acc appears.**
wwhokie1 • 07/11/24 06:31 PM ET
Why on earth would ESPN want F$U and CU to migrate from the ACC to B12?
Marooned • 07/11/24 06:21 PM ET
Agree, the B12 would be a lesser conference in "all aspects" as compared
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/11/24 09:39 PM ET
How is the B12 more appealing than the ACC?
Techsupport • 07/11/24 02:03 PM ET
Easier path to playoff?**
83Hokie • 07/11/24 05:29 PM ET
Already easy path in ACC.**
Atlee Hokie • 07/11/24 09:21 PM ET
I think you have to ask yourself who leaked this.........
2hhoop3 • 07/11/24 03:06 PM ET
FSU did not sue to leave for the 12
tallahasseehokie • 07/11/24 05:20 PM ET
The real questions are......
2hhoop3 • 07/11/24 05:34 PM ET
I personally agree.**
40ozDistrict • 07/11/24 02:47 PM ET
agree, FSU and Clemson sorta boxed themselves in
1947Sunbowl • 07/11/24 02:24 PM ET
FSU/Clem don't even NEED SEC money...they recruit top 10 today.**
Techsupport • 07/11/24 02:55 PM ET
But it's not about today. It's about tomorrow. 2030, 2040 and beyond.
marcbvtgm • 07/12/24 01:46 PM ET
Don't be amazed... ◄
Techsupport • 07/15/24 09:05 AM ET
The second part of the rumor really makes you wonder about the first part.
Truthahn • 07/11/24 01:15 PM ET
It's funny - over on the Conference Realignment Board the overwhelming
VPI_1998 • 07/11/24 12:41 PM ET
Your first mistake is assuming either board has a clue.**
marcbvtgm • 07/12/24 01:49 PM ET
So true…..**
RJHokie • 07/12/24 01:53 PM ET
We had this convo 20 years ago. Its more about brands, less about markets**
Techsupport • 07/11/24 02:07 PM ET
SEC non-interest in FSU and Clemson is long known
Hokie1992 • 07/11/24 11:35 AM ET
FSU is going SEC if anywhere
BigDaddyHokie • 07/11/24 10:18 AM ET
SEC doesn't need them **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/12/24 01:40 AM ET
SEC doesn’t want them **
hokiepro • 07/11/24 11:30 AM ET
West Va will never ever happen.
Stork • 07/11/24 09:28 AM ET
Would you still feel that way if adding WVU to the conference meant VT
VTHokie2000 • 07/11/24 10:56 AM ET
What? There is no orange uniform to make me happy. I’m guessing a backstor**
83Hokie • 07/11/24 05:34 PM ET
Stork's opinion on orange uniforms is well established on here.**
VTHokie2000 • 07/11/24 07:30 PM ET
So is his opinion of U Va…….**
RJHokie • 07/11/24 07:54 PM ET
Yes, but the thread is about WVU and I don't think he has ever been on
VTHokie2000 • 07/11/24 08:05 PM ET
Strawman argument**
TomTurkey • 07/11/24 12:37 PM ET
You would be right if the question had anything to do with whether the ACC
VTHokie2000 • 07/11/24 01:16 PM ET
Pay in full and leave **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/11/24 09:20 AM ET
If the ACC poaches WVU and Cincy, it's waving the white flag.**
marcbvtgm • 07/11/24 09:17 AM ET
BS...
JRHokie • 07/11/24 10:44 AM ET
Trench has been dug. Don't pile dirt on top.**
marcbvtgm • 07/12/24 01:37 PM ET
I think it's a ploy by the Big 12 to try to make them look strong(er)**
kingofcassell • 07/11/24 08:35 AM ET
WVU, Cincy and UCF...lol**
EDGEMAN • 07/11/24 08:25 AM ET
UCF is the largest school in FL and an emerging research leader**
VictoryTurkey • 07/11/24 09:42 AM ET
UCF will be the largest university in the country soon. The are not far
VPI_1998 • 07/11/24 12:45 PM ET
Another reason VT needs to keep growing into a "B1X size" university.**
EDGEMAN • 07/11/24 12:49 PM ET
Cincy is a consistent winner and the #2 FB school in a large state **
VictoryTurkey • 07/11/24 09:43 AM ET
WVU has engaged fans and their two historical rivals are in the ACC
VictoryTurkey • 07/11/24 09:44 AM ET
And a stagnating population and undynamic economy with low incomes.
marcbvtgm • 07/12/24 01:40 PM ET
I was happy the WVU was left out of the ACC many moons back
Hokie1992 • 07/11/24 11:39 AM ET
VT's best chance of going P2 is if ACC falls apart. Why prolong it?
marcbvtgm • 07/12/24 01:44 PM ET
the battle to be a P3 or P4 is over and P2 has won.**
