Only time will tell if they get picked up by the Big Ten or, more likely, the Big Twelve.

I doubt the SEC, as the Gators undoubtedly want a monopoly on the SEC in Florida.

Gators don't have the pull to stop it. Have to imagine the SEC would be all over FSU and Clemson

It’s laughable how short sighted this is. Did FSU get screwed over? Absolutely. But wait one year… stay the big fish in the decent sized pond and you’re in the Playoff every year. Jump conferences, and you’re the medium fish in a much, much bigger pond.

But hey - you got paid more to go 7-5!

What an embarrassment the conferences have become.

This is way more about $ than the playoff situation. The latter just aids the optics.

Nebraska threw away their longtime football power status to join the Big Ten. People keep pointing out to the powers-that-be that this was a further derivation from the very powerhouse status most people associate with them. Those powers-that-be almost always say: "Don't care: $$$."

Steve Spurrier did say it was more lucrative to suck in the SEC than anywhere else.

Amazing how much his name is coming up these days… I’ve seen a lot of folks invoking the old Free Shoes U. nickname.

Read title and thought the state of Florida was suing the ACC, the building the leafs play out of lol.

College football long needs to be its own entity. Other sports shouldn't have to be dragged into this realignment crap.

Uh 2023 called, it has something to tell you.

Vanderbilt gets paid every year to go 2-10.

Especially the Olympic sports. Why should track athletes have to fly out thousands of miles just because their school changed conferences to accommodate the football team?

What? Big XII is no upgrade, they would definitely think they're too good for that.

I'm surprised the NCAA hasn't done this yet. They've never imposed their own championship on college football and pretty much oversee it at arms length.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

I don't understand why they don't take all the top teams and have a tournament style bowl.

Football drives the bus. Always has.

Further reason why the NFL is far superior.
