I'd hate to be a Miami fan right now, because this is coming at a very bad time for them. Miami is about to get nuked worse than USC, and the NCAA laid a really harsh penalty on the Trojans. Their brand might make them irresistable, and it might be worth it to hope they can rebuild from the ashes, but if the ACC falls apart I wouldn't be surprised if everyone views them as too toxic to take in right now.

While I disagree with your opinion, I will fight to the death for your ability to express it.

“There have been no official talks, but I think you always have to look out there to see what’s best for Florida State,” Fisher said. “If that (jumping to the Big 12) is what’s best for Florida State, then that’s what we need to do.”

The president of FSU's email is auto-replying today with a big long argument against leaving the ACC and joining the Big 12. Most of his retort is laughably stupid, and ends with a plea for academics and how the faculty is adamantly opposed and resents the athletic department getting all this attention, etc.
If the FSU BOT decides that they want to leave the ACC, then either the president is fighting the good fight just so when the BOT forces him to surrender, he can tell his faculty he tried, or the BOT will have to can his ass.

That is not to mention the inaccuracies of Shapairos statements and all of the stuff that has already proven to be lies. I think they get maybe one more year bowl ban, no chance at conf champ game for a year and reduction in scholarships. It will not be this nuking or death penalty that so many want it to be. |

The SEC publically says they don't want to expand to states they already are in but I think they would make the expecpation for Florida State. Locking down Florida as SEC country and FSU is a national brand as well.

Florida State isn't coming to the SEC. They seem determined to remain in the same conference as Miami and no way in hell are the Hurricanes getting an invite.

Andy Staples (SI) has a pretty good column that just came out. Basically says that while Haggard got a few details wrong, big picture he's essentially right. Also says that whatever the FSU president may want, the boosters have been stampeded and this train out of the ACC might not be stoppable.
Now that FSU-to-Big 12 seed is planted, realignment may grow

The SEC already has Florida locked down. The unaffiliated fans aren't going to suddenly become Big XII fans.

FSU already has to fly a plane almost everywhere in the ACC, so the travel argument is really stupid for them.
