I'm not sure who is more annoying in the current realignment realm.

FSU or the BigXll. The BigXII mouthpieces are hanging around like vultures ready to pounce on any perceived negative news coming from the Pac-12. It's a bit gross. And FSU just thinks it's entitled to leave the ACC a decade before the end of its contract, just because they are FSU. They are about two decades behind understanding the complexities of conference realignment. They just think they deserve better and should therefore have it. I watched this FSU dude on youtube that says his "sources" tell him the SEC wants FSU and that ESPN is going to allow FSU to go to the SEC in the next 3-5 years just so the B1G/FOX don't get them. I won't even bother linking the video, but I did leave a response in the comments section. Here is what I said: "A few things you are missing. 1. Neither the SEC nor the B1G want any precedent where ANY GOR is broken. 2. All this about the SEC not wanting the B1G to have FSU might be true, but it doesn't make it urgent. This is more of a 2033-ish, not a 2023-ish, problem. This isn't about ESPN "allowing" this to happen. it's about the schools in the ACC with likely nowhere to go allowing this to happen. Unless ESPN finds 8 slots in the SEC for current ACC schools, no one is going anywhere. ESPN isn't going to open the door for Fox/B1G to come in 10 years before the GOR expires to swoop in on UNC and others. My advice to current ACC schools: get/stay good at football and men's basketball, find other ways to make revenue, expand into big states that don't already have an ACC team there to make money off the ACCN." ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 6/13/2023, 7:28:57 PM

It depends who's left in the ACC and who is in the B12 at that time.

And their source is some "DC CEO" who knows someone in the SEC.

That's right. The idea of ESPN "moving" schools wherever they like is very
