Florida State expected to begin process of leaving ACC

[IowaRam]

It's expected that Florida State is set to begin process of leaving ACC

Florida State to the Big Ten is still a long way off , if at all ..............

you would think that Florida State to the SEC would make more sense , and it does , but the ACC media rights is with ESPN , same as the SEC

and Florida State is about to go to war with ESPN to get out of that media rights deal

so , will Florida State burn to many bridges with ESPN , most likely , if they were to get out of the ACC , and thats still a big IF , odds are , they would jump to the Big Ten

and the bigger question , what happens next , it's no secret that the Big Ten has had their eyes on North Carolina for some time now , will Clemson and Miami be next

Florida State , Miami , Clemson and North Carolina , over the next few months


it will be interesting to see what comes out of Florida States board of regents meeting tomorrow

Florida State leaving the ACC would have massive ramifications for the future of college athletics

FSU desperately wants out of the ACC and its 20-year contract with ESPN, but every turn of conference realignment brings something unexpected.

What's next for Florida State and the ACC?

Being left out of the College Football Playoff has the Seminoles again thinking about their ACC future. How will that play out?

the next step in to just being two super conferences

Man, I really got to say, I hate what's going on with college football right now. Between teams shooting all the way across the country to join a conference. The NIL money isn't going to be pretty either. Transfers like nothing we've seen before. You'd think the cost alone would prohibit a lot of these actions but broadcast money must have really really deep pockets.

Don’t think they will leave. That buyout is probably to pricey.

Lot of if's and but's

if it does go to court , there is only two outcomes , if Florida State won , they would have to pay , zero , nadda , if they lost , they would have to pay the full 572,000,000 , it's a either , or , kinda deal

but............

alot of the "experts" don't think it would ever get to court , to much dirty laundry would get out , and not just the ACC and the NCAA laundry , it could also get other conferences and networks involved , and they don't really want that

they would probably just settle out of court , where Florida State would just pay , maybe just half of that amount , or even less

but , then what happens with the other schools , I know there are at least 8 other ACC schools waiting to see what happens

Clemson , North Carolina and Miami want out as well

thats really the only reason the ACC added Stanford , Cal and SMU , because the ACC has to maintain a certain number of schools to remain a conference , it's like they already expected Florida State , Clemson and Miami to leave

but then the SEC doesn't want Florida State , the BIG TEN don't want them either , neither Florida State or Clemson are AAU schools , and don't even qualify for the BIG TEN , although , there is no rule set in stone that says a school HAS to be a AAU school to get into the BIG TEN , it's always been a main priority , but maybe FOX/ CBS would twist the BIG Tens arm to add Florida State , I don't think Clemson has any shot at the BIG TEN

more what if's

then what happens with North Carolina and North Carolina State , are joined at the hip , The BIG Ten wants North Carolina , but would they join the BIG Ten without North Carolina State , same with Virginia and Virginia Tech , are they a package deal only

there are even a bunch more ifs and buts , but it still all hinges on what happens with Florida State ,

will they pay the full 572,000,000 , probably not , will they settle out of court for a lesser amount

stay tuned , Florida State didn't call a special board of regents meeting the day right before Christmas vacation and then vote antonyms to start the procedures to leave the ACC for nothing

if they succeed or not , is anybody guess

looks like Florida State and Clemson's lawsuit against the ACC will be coming to a end tomorrow

as tomorrow , the ACC schools will be voting on a new deal / compromise

as it looks now , this new compromise will keep all 18 schools in the ACC until 2030 / 2031

but . theirs a catch , this new compromise will give the conference unequal revenue sharing , where some schools will make more money and some will make less
depending on TV viewers and stuff , so some schools like Florida State and Clemson could earn 15 million dollars per year , but schools like Wake Forrest and Boston College will most likely lose up to 7 million dollars per year

way I understand it , 40% of the conference revenue will be split equally with all schools , and the 60% will be split up by how much money each school actually made for the conference

now , this compromise will run through the 2030 season

then starting for the 2030/2031 season , their grant of rights buy out dollars will drop significantly , so any school wishing to leave will be able to buy out their grant of rights for pennies on the dollar

so you can figure in 2030 , Florida State , Clemson , North Carolina and Miami are as good as gone

how many other schools will leave ? , that will depend on how many schools the Big Ten , Big 12 and the SEC are willing to take

but come 2031 , the ACC will probably find themselves in the same place as the Pac 12 is in right now , the remaining bottom schools still trying to hang on to what is left of the ACC together

2030/2031 , is also the time frame the the BigTen , Big 12 and the SEC current TV deals will be coming to a end and they start renegotiating their new deal , which they'll probably start negotiating in 2028/2029 , and their going to want to know which , if any new schools will be joining their conference , so you can expect those ACC schools to start talking to the other three conferences in the next year or two .............if , they haven't already...................lol

the Big Ten and the SEC have had several meeting lately talking about expanding the number of playoff teams , which will basically give those two confeneces even more schools in the playoffs

and I'm sure conference additions have come up at those meeting as well

college football is just going to be the Big Ten and the SEC sandbox
