Texas has one of the largest athletic department budgets and one of the biggest and most moneyed followings in college sports - to the point it rivals pro teams. It's also in Austin, one of the hottest and fastest-growing cities in the country. FSU, on the other hand, while being the biggest school in the ACC, is downsizing its football stadium to seat just under 70,000 because it can't fill it. Tallahassee is in rural Florida and is de facto southern Georgia/Alabama. For any conference, taking Texas is a no-brainer despite its narcissism and demands. FSU doesn't offer that order of magnitude of upside. ** Edited by LeadingEdge at 7/17/2024, 11:01:51 AM
