Haggard (The FSU BOT chair who kicked off realignment apocalypse 3 yesterday) admitted that his tier 3 rant was wrong, but despite the statement from the FSU president last night, he's not backing down.
Haggard says FSU 'should keep an open mind'
I'm guessing he didn't get much blowback, especially if he was right that the vast majority of boosters want out.
Quote:
"All I tried to say was I think Florida State needs to keep an open mind," Haggard said Sunday morning. "If the Big 12 or the SEC or any other conference wants to talk, we have an obligation to listen. If the Big 12 calls, should we hang up the phone? No.
"I’m not saying take it. I’m saying listen to it. Listen to what they have to say."
...
"But (Tier 3 rights) is not the main issue," Haggard said. "We have to listen to how much more money may be out there. There are other issues that need to be considered. My only point is to listen to anybody who wants to talk – especially in these economic times."
