Did he explain how they do an Independent schedule with others scheduled?

The only way I can conceive of an Independent Schedule happening two weeks after they pull out is that the ACC still plays them, but FSU gets no money for playing their schedule this year and cannot win a Conference Championship in anything. Even that seems far fetched, but I will say that if ESPN wants to make it happen, with some agreements for certain things with/from Fox, it can happen. However, I will have to see it to believe it.

Not playing this year as an independent, story is already dead **

Oregon and Washington are both on half shares for 7 years until the media

Getting into Florida is big for Fox. Oregon and Wash, only half as big.**
hokieZ71 • 07/12/24 09:57 PM ET
Sure, but FSU's cut would still have to come out of the existing deal.
LonghornHokie • 07/12/24 10:05 PM ET
If that’s the case, FSU ain’t going nowhere.

They will play an Acc schedule..

OK - assuming this is true (and I am skeptical) it would be financial
VPI_1998 • 07/13/24 05:28 AM ET
Exactly, SMU is basically paying the ACC to give the ACC money.

Let them play all away games!

LOL Here we go again. "final details" if this wasn't more message board
ancient alien 2018 • 07/12/24 06:57 PM ET
If that happened they would have 8 open games to fill in about 10 days

If FSU is Promised to the B1G Next Month
WarHog38 • 07/12/24 08:42 PM ET
Why would they do that? **
ombandit • 07/13/24 07:40 AM ET
Because FSU Would Effectually Become a B1G Member Under the Terms OP Stated**
WarHog38 • 07/13/24 04:58 PM ET
You can only play 12 regular season games per year.
LonghornHokie • 07/12/24 10:19 PM ET
Who Says FSU Would need 9 B1G Schools to Provide a Game?
WarHog38 • 07/12/24 11:36 PM ET
Yes, ACC schools have contracts to play FSU this season, but that is
wwhokie1 • 07/13/24 01:08 AM ET
Not Sure That FSU Leaving ACC Would Void A Contract Pertaining to Precise
WarHog38 • 07/13/24 01:32 AM ET
The ACC schedules those games, not the particular school. Virginia Tech
wwhokie1 • 07/13/24 02:52 PM ET
The schools don't have a contract with FSU
mrcaniac • 07/13/24 12:47 AM ET
Is That Perception or Absolute Fact?
WarHog38 • 07/13/24 01:12 AM ET
Actually, per the NCAA DI bylaws it is possible to play a 13th regular
VTHokie2000 • 07/12/24 10:32 PM ET
The 13 game is for the team going to Hawaii to have another home game
mrcaniac • 07/13/24 12:38 AM ET
Yes, that is how most schools use the bylaws, but I don't think it is a
