Weather, current competition and game-day atmospheres certainly are

important, I grant you. And in the end, this might win out vs. the B1G's advantages. But if the B1G is national, plus is bringing in more money...this might change things. I also don't think that the B1G is drastically behind the SEC in terms of on-the-field product right now.

SI reporting FSU AD hinting Big 10 Move
Sunsetunderground • 04/27/24 01:14 PM ET
I hope they will like Madison, WI and Minnesota in November**
Tuckahokie • 04/29/24 11:44 AM ET
Southern teams traveling north usually brick games in cold weather. Miami
TDVick • 04/30/24 03:20 PM ET
Sadly, FSU vs ACC games this year will all get huge TV ratings.
Truthahn • 04/29/24 11:21 AM ET
wish ACCN and when they travel to ACC cities, they get no hospitality
DMV Gobbler • 04/29/24 04:38 PM ET
Or…ACC teams could be fired up to beat them. Or, who knows what will happen
Stech • 04/29/24 09:38 PM ET
Financial question- how accretive can adding FSU really be...?
Vippie1 • 04/29/24 11:02 AM ET
My view is that Miami is being overlooked. Think about the
TDVick • 05/02/24 03:26 PM ET
A part of it has to be defensive
VT Pops • 04/29/24 10:48 PM ET
At this point in time, it is no longer about the money. They have that.
pine52x • 04/29/24 12:36 PM ET
Exactly. The B1G is building an empire. The SEC is being forced to respond**

I Have Seen Sankey Address SEC Further Expansion Three Times
WarHog38 • 04/30/24 01:04 AM ET
Not so long ago, Sankey declared that he was satisfied at 16, and did not
33laszlo99 • 04/30/24 07:17 AM ET
Probably holding his cards close to his chest.
EDGEMAN • 04/30/24 06:46 AM ET
Keep in mind, the TX OU move to the SEC was not announced,
Big12 guy • 04/30/24 10:38 AM ET
And Sankey was on the CFP committee while trying to poach TX and OU
HouClone • 04/30/24 01:37 PM ET
Yep. This idea that Sankey isn't a Snakey is misplaced. **
Big12 guy • 04/30/24 01:44 PM ET
I believe both have responded to each other **
VaTechHokiesACC • 04/29/24 11:39 PM ET
Or anyone else for that matter. **
Big12 guy • 04/29/24 11:18 AM ET
Just proof that FSU AD is hanging out on this board too much. 🤣🤣**
Stech • 04/29/24 08:09 AM ET
Pay in full and be gone **
VaTechHokiesACC • 04/28/24 11:09 PM ET
They will owe their media rights for the next decade
EDGEMAN • 04/29/24 03:41 AM ET
Talk about expensive what if the amount FSU must pay is
VTCALS72 • 04/29/24 09:28 AM ET
It depends on how you determine the $5 million
obguthr • 04/29/24 10:58 AM ET
Isn't that the whole purpose of the GOR?
VTCALS72 • 04/29/24 12:42 PM ET
LMAO FSU AD's "Big News" is always like a fart in the wind. Nothing
ancient alien 2018 • 04/28/24 09:19 PM ET
I agree, it get's old

A Sign that FSU is Going B1G
WarHog38 • 04/29/24 01:53 AM ET
If the SEC, truly wants schools that care more, they will take VT &NCSU 4🏈

See Lots of Viewpoints With Several Hours of YouTube Surfing on Expansion
WarHog38 • 05/02/24 10:34 PM ET
Hearing a lot of the same things but Clemson, it’s about 1/2 the eyeballs
Stech • 05/03/24 09:03 AM ET
Much ado about nothing
INSIDE99 • 04/29/24 01:32 AM ET
I'm not sure what constitutes tampering, but the B1G seem like it is doing
Maroon Baboon • 04/28/24 06:26 PM ET
USC wasn't tampering
mrcaniac • 04/28/24 11:05 PM ET
Yeah, I don't see how tampering comes into play. The schools can talk
reestuart • 04/29/24 11:03 AM ET
That is true, but then the B1G/SEC open themselves up to liability
mrcaniac • 04/29/24 11:18 AM ET
It will take a lot more......

I imagine most communications are fairly passive/vague. A bunch of

UVA did. Don't know about UNC.
HOO86 • 04/28/24 08:08 PM ET
Have always heard that B1G wanted UNC and UVa
Millpoint • 04/28/24 09:46 PM ET
Very doubtful they settled....

You talking about......

The "article" is a whole lotta nothing. **
Will StewartAdmin • 04/28/24 05:55 PM ET
FSU wouldn't be in this position if they hadn't taken the easy path (ACC)
Hokie 04 • 04/27/24 06:41 PM ET
Definitely Mediocrity for FSU in the SEC
WarHog38 • 04/29/24 06:41 PM ET
ACC always has/is/will be bad football
INSIDE99 • 04/29/24 07:21 PM ET
Whacked comment **
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/30/24 04:33 AM ET
Success because the ACC is bad football
INSIDE99 • 04/30/24 01:03 PM ET
I agree, FSU was using the ACC, and the ACC really didnt care
DMV Gobbler • 04/28/24 08:13 AM ET
FSU was chasing the $$$ when they joined the ACC
mrcaniac • 04/27/24 11:43 PM ET
I remember the saying down in North Florida at the time...
EDGEMAN • 04/28/24 07:11 AM ET
ACC poorly managed - nepotism
INSIDE99 • 04/28/24 12:43 AM ET
North Carolina makes sense to host championship games
mrcaniac • 04/28/24 05:07 PM ET
Charlotte is easy to get to.
HOO86 • 04/28/24 08:37 PM ET
RDU has a lot of direct flights also

What needs to be answered. Did everyone know all along about the ESPN

ACC Payouts since 1992

VTCALS72 • 04/29/24 05:17 PM ET

GOR is what has held up what big media wants.
VTCALS72 • 04/29/24 05:57 PM ET
WRT ESPN's intent, it is possible the ACC made assumptions about ESPN's
VTHokie2000 • 05/01/24 06:28 PM ET
Why waste your time?.....
2hhoop3 • 04/28/24 04:29 PM ET
FSU is always talking...
Old Line Hokie • 04/27/24 05:49 PM ET
I wonder if that point, the ACCN expands and includes B12 teams. I
Big12 guy • 04/27/24 06:21 PM ET
That has possibilities
VTCALS72 • 04/28/24 11:34 AM ET
At the very least, a consolidation of the media potential. The ACC and B12
Big12 guy • 04/28/24 11:58 AM ET
Agree pretty much but whereas I do agree
VTCALS72 • 04/29/24 12:55 PM ET
A good conversation - DMV market

If you leave the "V" out of the DMV I would agree
VTCALS72 • 04/29/24 04:58 PM ET
Not a surprise. But interesting that they are now making public statements.

FSU just had 10 NFL Draft picks - not a single one of them

Maroon Baboon • 04/27/24 10:48 PM ET
With a few of those......
2hhoop3 • 04/28/24 06:05 PM ET
I give next to zero attention to the Orange Bowl game. The "consolation"
Maroon Baboon • 04/27/24 07:49 PM ET
That is the problem.
Old Line Hokie • 04/27/24 08:34 PM ET
FSU didn’t quit. I don’t know how this narrative is still going
HokieAl • 04/28/24 12:29 PM ET
Perhaps ESPN and SEC put pressure on UGa to go all out to beat FSU to
Maroon Baboon • 04/29/24 11:58 AM ET
It is the difference.....
2hhoop3 • 04/28/24 12:55 PM ET
Yep, UGA had 1 opt out, FSU cried, UGA went to Miami to whip that ass**
BROman Hokie • 04/28/24 02:39 PM ET
Welp. It was a once in lifetime thing that will never happen again.
Maroon Baboon • 04/27/24 10:32 PM ET
Spot on......
2hhoop3 • 04/27/24 06:43 PM ET
No matter what happens in the BIG, or anywhere else in college
Big12 guy • 04/27/24 04:14 PM ET
That...and what if A&M decides to bolt for the B1G? Double trouble.
Maroon Baboon • 04/27/24 05:31 PM ET
Disagree....the BIG can add everyone not in the SEC and they will still be

I'm sure FSU will get their AAU call-up any day now.**
33laszlo99 • 04/27/24 05:22 PM ET
So did the B1G unofficial invite include a full share of revenue on Day 1?
Marooned • 04/27/24 02:31 PM ET
Yeah, they would be in the bottom half of the new Big10

Academics went out the window WRT college football years ago, B1G and ACC

IMHO if it was painful to ESPN, they would have promoted them 4 playoff bid

Time to have their next football game in Blacksburg!
EDGEMAN • 04/28/24 06:11 AM ET
