I never really had any issue with FSU. In fact, they were always fun to watch back in the day. But it feels like a program that used to be one of the top college programs, regardless of conference. Now they aren't in that same tier (with Bama, UGA, OSU, etc) and probably feel anchored in the ACC with the new world order.

So they can kick and scream all they want, and maybe some of it is to lay down tracks for a future legal effort, maybe some of it is people inside and outside the school just feeling burned and trapped and maybe some of it is something in between.

But to your point, this isn't the FSU of the 90s. This isn't the team that finished top five 14 years in a row or whatever. If FSU and Miami were still finishing top 10/top 5 every year, with Clemson, the situation for the ACC may be different.

So they want to bail? That's cool. Give it a try. Actions are louder than words. Go for it.

BTW, if they are stuck in the ACC, by the time the cost isn't prohibitive to leave, Apple may own ESPN for all we know. Iger, last month, was bullish on sports, but was basically ok selling off ABC and looking for minority partners for ESPN and it seemed to get DTC for ESPN sooner rather than later, by like '25 or '26 (not talking about the current state of ESPN avail via the app).

I just want Syracuse to be able to have an awesome bball team and at least an entertaining football team. I've given up hoping that we're ever going to be competing with the big boys in CFB outside making a crazy run once a decade or something.
