Here we go again. Conference expansion

Clay Travis also reported today that the SEC did not contact OU and Texas. OU and Texas called the ACC. This seemed like good news, until the FSU president opened his mouth.

This goes back to watch Dabo said, that he 3xpects a big super league, with reports of it being 30-60 teams. If it's 30 teams, college football is over. If it's 60 teams, then that mainly includes every P5 team, which isn't the worst. I don't think tech gets left out through all this, but many of the reasons to like CFB will be gone.

At 60 teams, you'll likely end up with 4 super conferences, maybe 3 at the end of this, where if the ACC is still standing is likely to be the lowest paid. If it goes to 30 teams, the SEC cherry picks every big time program that brings a significant metric to the table. While I'm pretty confident the B10 would toss an invite to GT, I'm not convinced the SEC would, despite the history and all the other positives in GT's favor. Maybe they would, hard to say. But regardless, I'd say if there's ever been a time to build up the program, grow the fanbase, and contribute to the GT AA to build up football, it's probably now to be safe.

Leave it to a fine academic institution like FSU for its president to go as full retard as dumbasses on message boards.

What an absolute embarrassment this guy is.

Did they have the same president the last go-round of realignment? Their president said some dumbass comments publicly last time as well.

Four 16 team conferences. The 4 champions play a playoff.

Maybe he hasn’t noticed that FSU was a dumpster fire before Bowden and has been a dumpster fire after Bowden. Maybe the marquee name is Bowden and not FSU. :-)

So when there's this 60-team super league, maybe we could divide the teams into groups based on geography like the Southeast, the Midwest, the Atlantic Coast, and teams within those groups could play each other. That'd be cool.

you could even group some into a group of 10 and use the number 12 in the name of the group. And vice versa!

So lame that there’s been all this fuss, and then we have to wait 4 years for anything to actually change. They should buy their way out and jump ship next season.

Gonna be an awkward 4 years in the big12
 
If the FSU president really said that, then the ACC should go ahead and ask UCF to join the conference. Miami should not be bothered by that as they are really tied to the north more than anything. FSU would have a problem with UCF but I wouldn't be making plans with FSU right at the moment.
 
Tech needs to get out of the ACC. The ACC is a basketball conference. It is not a football conference. It never has been, and never will be thanks mostly to the 4 Carolina turds that dominate ACC politics and policies.

I don’t blame Notre Dame for not joining. They didn’t fully join, and will never fully join in football, because ACC football sucks. Add FSU (1990s), VT, and Louisville and it’s not even a good academic conference anymore.

If Stansbury does his job, he gets us the hell out of the ACC and into The Big 10.
 
I don’t see the SEC rolling out the red carpet for FSU. The program’s a used-to-be, and it would not expand the viewer base much. FSU and UM together might be a strong play, though.

The ACC should go on offense if it wants to stay relevant. Expand its footprint to Texas - court Baylor, SMU, U of Houston for the Metroplex and Houston media markets.

They have a more recent national championship than either Texas or OU. Winning has nothing to do with it. Only the size of the fan base.

I would add TCU to that list.

The SEC will not offer FSU. They bring nothing to the table in terms of television. Click all over the map of Florida and the southern southeast.

Hard to argue with this post, Clemson without Dabo, FreeShoesU without Bobby B and what merits the ACC as a big time football league?
