You’re turn Clemson:
There are any number of good reasons why they would.
For one, they'd love to stop subsidizing Wake Forest, BC, Syracuse, Pitt and Va Tech.
Two, the FSU President couldn't have been clearer this week when he said FSU HAS TO explore joining the SEC.
In many ways this is bigger than ESPN. They want a super conference outside the NCAA and Florida State might remember way back when it was way outside the top leagues looking in. FSU has been a top football school for 55 years now. Before that, it was like Cincinnati. Granted that's a very long time, but some of these folks have long memories.
The tweet above throws cold water on the rumor mill about Clemson and FSU--did the tweeter miss the fact that the President of FSU gave an interview about all of this?
It would have to be very special.The full interview is not quoted by the twitterati...the rest of the story...where President Thrasher says that the GOR makes it near impossible for FSU to actually leave the ACC.
“At the end of the day, it’s all about money,” Thrasher said. “It’s all about TV revenue, contracts. Nobody can leave a conference without a significant buyout penalty, including us, so it would have to be something very special for us to leave.
I think he is pushing the ACC to do what it can...take a couple of schools, etc.
Why now for the B1G? It could have added Kansas at any point.That kind of bugs me a bit. I feel like KU is a variation on Connecticut with less basketball success and documented history of basketball cheating.
Oh but they are AAU... probably cheat to get grants too.
Reaction to the SEC power move?Why now for the B1G? It could have added Kansas at any point.
The only thing they got over us is AAU. How they got AAU while we don't is anyone's guess.Why would anyone take Kansas over UConn? I don't get it.
If it's true, that's a chickens-t move by the B1G. $EC adds Texas and Oklahoma, and the B1G adds..... Kansas?The only thing they got over us is AAU. How they got AAU while we don't is anyone's guess.
Exactly, they need another eastern school.Kansas to B1G is all over the social media now. It would be bad move to add ISU and Kansas to counter the SEC.
Ag money, probably?The only thing they got over us is AAU. How they got AAU while we don't is anyone's guess.
