At this point, what will satisfy FSU?  Payment equal to Florida?  Or Ohio State?

Doesn't a large part of expansion with these schools create a pool to re-create a conference after FSU (and others) leave.  What is the monetary value of that?  Zero to Florida State but a helluva lot more to Wake.  It should be more important to the likes of UVa, VT, NCSt, Miami.  No one knows what everything will look like in three years let alone ten.

The BIG 10 MIGHT want Syracuse.  They surely will want UVa.  Will they?  They just passed on Stanford for a half share (and maybe less than that...who knows?)  Of course they will want Syra/UVa who are more or less the same type of demographic.  I don't want to debate the merits of these schools vis-a-vie the others...just saying that there is circumstantial evidence that Syra/Uva's (and everyone not named UNC/FSU/and likely Clemson) ticket won't necessarily get punched.  This expansion, while not guaranteed, is a good hedge against that.  IMO.  I find it concerning that most of the schools in the ACC appear to not see it that way.
