I Heard Sankey Say He Receives Phone Calls From Schools All Around the
Country. It was in response to a question about SEC expansion. I remember hearing Mike Slive say the same thing a decade ago. I think those phone calls are viewed as private by all concerned. All In the strictest confidence. I think the SEC commissioner would then be either affirmative or negative to straight questions asked. Especially if realistic scenarios were presented to him. I think the SEC Commissioner & soon to be B1G Commissioner are both receiving these type calls from most all ACC members. FSU has caused that with the recent rhetoric giving a 5 year tolerance as a breaking point. I think every ACC member is mapping strategies based on those commissioner conversations. Even Wake Forest or Boston College. Those schools have nothing in stone or even signed. However they pretty well know their options. That is why I think FSU is not totally bluffing. They do have an invite from somebody. Maybe the SEC & B1G both the way they keep repeating the same complaining spiel.
