Does FSU even have a place to go? While they really consider themselves

valuable, and certainly they are an elite program worthy of being in any conference, do they really have an invite in hand? The SEC and B1G IMO should be tread very lightly here. Neither conference should want to see GOR's torn up. Sure, both would like to have FSU, but under what circumstances. Process matters. Let's say in a decade from now, while both P2s are in middle of a long term TV deal, the B1G starts to pull away from the SEC in terms of money and winning more than their share of CFPs. What if, say, Georgia decides "we can't compete". I assure you, the SEC won't want them having wandering eyes. Ditto in the opposite direction. So if you look at it in this light, is FSU even worth it? The more I think about it, the more I think FSU has no real idea how to pull this off, and they are an entitled child having a tantrum. Look, the money gap is REAL for ALL the ACC teams. But that's not the Big Ten's or SEC's problem. Nor am I certain they will want to get involved in it.

ESPN doesn’t have to pay substantially more.

ESPN is taking on water too, so the odds of them ponying up more $ is low**

It’s about ESPN cutting expenses, they won’t be paying some of the schools.

After the dust settles, at least we'll still have our E$PN B10 nooners.

The B1G will no longer be broadcast on ESPN, it’s Fox, CBS & NBC for them.**

The ACC would get more money, but will have more mouths to feed, thus...

Exactly. The B1G and SEC won't take in FSU with the GoR issue unresolved.

exactly BINGO

Take the money if they want out that bad. $200M - $250M. **
