Academics played a large part in FSU joining the ACC.  They had the opportunity to join the SEC or ACC, they chose the ACC for academics.  The state of Florida has put money into improving FSU.  FSU is the most valuable "property" in the ACC.  They have been down a few years but they still win.  Clemson had been down longer, yet we all think of them as the powerhouse they once were and are this season.

As to the $20MM, chump change in the long run.  If FSU wants out, they will make more money in the SEC and pay off the exit fee.  They will also likely do so over time, not one shot.

FSU is the only reason I was interested in the ACC.  I preferred the Big 10 by far over the ACC.  I hope FSU stays, along with Clemson.  I have no affinity towards VPI, I wanted ECU in the Big East instead of VPI, so I have never really cared for VPI, if they go, oh-well.  Backfill and move on.  Besides, once the if the SEC got ahold of them and their panzy scheduling of Beamer Ball (Schiano learned scheduling from Beamer, my opinion) the SEC would have a field day.
