Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 4675868, member: 6357"] Why would FSU leave Clemson and the other ACC schools behind for the Big 12? That’s a real knee slapper. Clemson and Miami are better football brands/powers than any of the drek left in the Big 12. Come on. The Big 12 has no real football powers left after Texas and OU depart. And the projected TV money will be better in the ACC. Plus, remember the school presidents are making these decisions. They’re not leaving behind prestige academic institutions like UNC, UVA and Duke for the mostly middling schools in the Big 12. Academics do matter if all other considerations are mostly equal. If FSU gets a Big 10 or SEC invite, that’s a different story. They would leave for those conferences but only due to the money. But I don’t see the SEC inviting another Florida school, and I don’t think either conference has an appetite to wade into a massive legal battle over GOR. [/QUOTE]
