Another problem for FSU even if the B18 wanted them, having 19 teams is a PIA. For BBall you now have one team having a bye each round. For FB you cannot have an odd number of conference games. So the B18 would need to drop from 9 conference games down to 8 conference games. Which is 5 less conference games of inventory for the networks. That will not make them happy. And 9 conference games better not be in the TV contracts.

This wouldn't be an issue if they can find a 20th team. But who else is going to pay all that money to leave the ACC or B12?

On top of that the B18 is already trying to integrate 4 new schools already. Do they really need a 5th?

The most convenient thing for the B18 would be adding FSU in 2029-30. So why is FSU taking the route they are vs being more Texas like and negotiating an amicable exit?

And another consideration for FSU, going to the B18 likely means giving up one if not both of Florida and Miami. If they are playing B18 games, Florida, Miami then good luck ever making the playoffs.
