Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4940743, member: 173"] A conference also can't operate if all of its members know it will roll over and give up if any one member challenges it. IMHO, the right play for the ACC is to go absolutely scorched earth on FSU - deprive them of the money needed RIGHT NOW and effectively kill the athletic department for the school if necessary. The ACC needs to show everyone else (member schools and other conferences) they are not to be messed with. And if FSU's AD is a smoking crater at the end of it, how is that any worse for the ACC than if FSU was allowed to leave? (Best play for FSU would be trying to find some way the ACC can still "win" if FSU leaves and help facilitate that...but I don't think any realistic scenario for that exists). [/QUOTE]
