Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4732079, member: 5685"] It is about timing. FSU cannot go anywhere before the B12 GOR expires. If teams are making $25M in the B12 and could make $35M in the ACC, why stay in the B12 even knowing FSU will eventually leave? The same thing just happened to the P12. Texas and Oklahoma were leaving, schools came. Also for ESPN isn't FSU more valuable in the ACC than the SEC? In one conference they are making lesser programs more interesting. In the other they are just one of the same. For example, now you have FSU vs SU (will do well in the Northeast) and Ole Miss vs Arkansas. If FSU moves to the SEC you get FSU vs Ole Miss instead of Ole Miss vs Arkansas. Is that really going to be a big difference? And on the other side you get GA Tech vs SU instead of FSU vs SU, which is a pretty big difference. On top of that ESPN would be paying FSU $30M instead of $60M. The B18 is a different story as they are lacking the brands. [/QUOTE]
