Yeah, I tend to think FSU is p*ssing in the wind on this. Not sure how #s

Can work? Question is can you really blow up conference with 8 votes and GOR along with it? I am skeptical even that could be done without a questionable ugly legal battle over it and all the $$$. ACC feels alot like the Big East did in 2003, except much harder and more costly for Miami in this case FSU to leave. If 8 can't blow up conference and GOR with it, and ESPN will pay more for SMU, CAL and Stanford; then I am not sure why FSU, Clemson, UNC, NCSU would not support expansion, especially with the new schools foregoing or taking dramatically low share of media $$$ for several years? Is delay all about ACC getting best deal out of schools in terms of low payouts early in their membership? and FSU and others pushing for new money to be distributed based on merit model vice = share? Another issue is apparently UNC/NCSU were ready to flip vote if Calford membership were for football and basketball only. Not sure that arrangement is even allowed by ncaa? and how desperate is Calford creates problem for them. ** Edited by vtox1 at 8/21/2023, 8:03:28 PM

Still no word on ACC expansion. Reports that FSU may leave for 2025 season

FSU is being accused of being all bluster and no action. We will see.

FSU has to have a place to go before they leave. SEC doesn't need them and

The B1G still has that pesky AAU membership criteria. F$U and Clemson
Maroon Unit 08/22/23 05:02 AM ET
There is no AAU criteria. Never has been.
marcbvtgm 08/22/23 05:57 PM ET
So AAU membership has just been a coincidence? Not according to this
Maroon Unit 08/23/23 04:23 AM ET
If Fox wants a school, school suits just go along.

I hope they leave. VT could use the extra cash**

This just feels like a rumor to destabilize the ACC.
