Wrong, again. Clemson is also suing the conference and UNC is letting them-

both take all the heat while they see what happens. The ACC is absolutely as "bad a place" as FSU thinks it is, precisely because, despite your incessant fawning over the ACC and how wonderful it is, the fact remains that, at the end of the day, Vanderbilt is going to make double the media rights money every year that any ACC team makes, despite fielding a garbage football program that MIGHT win one conference game in any given year, and no amount of on-field success vs. conference or OOC opponents by any ACC team can change that. That's FSU's beef. If FSU was getting paid commensurate with the programs it views as its competition on the national stage, much less Vanderbilt, Illinois, Rutgers, and Maryland, then it would have no problem plowing through a schedule full of tiny, little private schools. The same goes for Clemson. Any ACC football program that wants to be nationally competitive has been effectively relegated, because 3/4 of the football programs in the conference are worthless trash.

F$U disreuptive? Yes. However, Texas says, "Hold my beer".**
Atlee Hokie • 07/16/24 03:20 PM ET
It would be fantastic if they somehow won the suit and then had no landing
D-Day • 07/16/24 02:22 PM ET
Yes, this was an emotional not a legal decision

I agree with this. there is no reason for FSU to
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 03:19 PM ET
IF fsu (and clemson) stay, would their AD's be released to re-set
VT757to276 • 07/16/24 12:19 PM ET
I can't imagine they'd stay after all that has happened
obguthr • 07/16/24 04:21 PM ET
Imagine the heated rivalries moving forward. Ya, they COULD stay. **
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 12:36 PM ET
Given the tension that currently exists in this country now, that may not

Oh the battery throwing was long before VT left the BE. I miss WVU
HokieAl • 07/16/24 01:07 PM ET
I thought prior to the announcement that behavior wasn't as widespread
VTHokie2000 • 07/16/24 01:28 PM ET
This passage doesn't make any sense to me
RVAHokie05 • 07/16/24 12:00 PM ET
Nobody wants FSU? Someone might want to tell them. **
atticus555 • 07/16/24 12:41 PM ET
Maybe FSU in the Big 12 could be like the spoiled girl in Sixteen Candles

No, but I could. But I don't. But I could.**
Will StewartAdmin • 07/16/24 02:26 PM ET
Looking for the rewrite for clarification. I believe 'enamored' was clue.**
TomTurkey • 07/16/24 04:40 PM ET
B12 would be a last resort for them. **
Big12 guy • 07/16/24 12:48 PM ET
Well that sentence certainly makes more sense now. Haha**

Clemson and UNC know the ACC is not as bad a place as FSU

Also, Notre Dame played in the 2020 ACC Football Championship Game. FYI.
Hardcore_Hokie • 07/16/24 08:21 PM ET
Yeah, Notre Dame is so committed in the ACC that they refuse

ND plays an ACC schedule in football, but remove them and point remains.

UT's historical disruptiveness dwarfs anything FSU has ever done.
