I would agree with you that what he said made no sense at all,
unless he truly believes that getting out of the GOR isn’t going to be an issue. Without that belief he really couldn’t have made the statements he made in the Finebaum interview. There is a pattern here with FSU athletic director, FSU President, multiple FSU Board of Trustees’ members all having made similar statements.
And as far as his logic about competitiveness, Georgia is 16-0 in regular season conference play over the last two years, and 37-3 in conference play over the last 5 years. It doesn’t look like there was a lot of competition in the SEC in that time period with Georgia winning all but 3 regular season conference games. Weatherford also conveniently forgot to mention that a small private school in Texas beat an undefeated Michigan team from the B1G in the playoffs which is one of the two conferences he is advocating that FSU join to stay competitive.
