i'd rather leave FSU in the ACC and let them die a slow, painful, death

Are you crazy?  They are adorable.

Yes, he wants Louisville instead, which is akin to leaving a beautiful chick with huge cans for an ugly nerd dude with a sternum so concave that his mom makes him wear a chest protector while at-bat in MPRD baseball so he doesn't get hit by a pitch and have a weird nerdy heart attack.

they'd curb stomp us in a heartbeat if given the chance.  why do them any favors?  i'm sure there are less piece-of-crap schools that we can rescue from failing into obscurity.

um, by curb stomp us, i wasn't referring to playing us in football.  we're doing whatever team we let into the b12 a huge favor.  why not pick one that's not a giant douche bag and that can still deliver tv sets.

if it's far and away FSU, then take them.  if we have choices, then we should explore them.  *Pro Tip* - i hate florida state and would like nothing more for them to drop to NAIA.

I still see us getting Louisville....just at a later time when they are banging at the front door wanting into the party and willing to pay $10/cup instead of $5 for the keg.  They want to be part of a relevant, stable conference.  Dodds wants to be the jackass looking through the peephole as Louisville pounds on that front door. 

Louisville:  *banging on the door* "Let me in!  Let me in!"
Big 12 partying while Dodds shouts to the rest:  "Somebody order pizza?"
Louisville: "No!  It's me Louisville....let me in!"
Dodds looking through the peephole:  "Uh...bro everybody else says you weren't invited to this party."
Lousiville:  "If you let me in I promise I'll pick up the tab.  You won't have to pay for anything.  Guys I'll pay $10 for a cup even if the keg is about to float."
*Dodds looks at all the others in the room*
*Other shrug shoulders in a "eh...why not" fasion*
*Dodds unlocks the front door....*click**

After thinking about this a little more today, reading Chip's eye-opening article about the advantage of a Nole Network and thinking about the two conference options, screw it.  Pack the SUV, put on the car magnets and get a map to Stillwater, Norman and Austin.  Time for some road trips west.

Notre Dame to the ACC doesn't even make it worth staying.

   

It's happening!

pissclams has really "gone off the reservation" lately. it's simultaneously entertaining and confusing.

Go ahead but just know its FSU all the way, bruh

Here's an interesting post from StateFans Nation (NCSU).

"Texas A&M and Missouri combined have a single national title (1939) and a single Heisman winner (1957).

It's not about prowress, only TV money."

If we don't get to play Texas every year, I will be furious.

Yeah, it would be a great added benefit for them.  Like a second spring break.

Nice work. So where will Clemson and FSU fall on the fanbase spectrum? I have no prior experience with anybody from either fanbase. Butthurt? Weird racists? Awesome to party with? 

FSU is one of the top party school with the likes of Arizona St.  Their fillies are always up there in sexiest coeds category (need confirmation from Fanning).

:Pops collar:

The Big 12 has repeatedly indicated to Notre Dame it could bring its non-football sports to the Big 12 and keep football as independent, allowing the Irish to keep their football contract with NBC while launching a Tier 3 network.

No, eff that, all or nothing.

How is Tallahassee? I bet it's exactly like Baton Rouge. But I do know that George Clinton lives there while not touring, so that's a plus. OH MAN can you imagine the domestic disputes that will arise between WRFF and MrsWRFF if their two alma maters should join the same league?!?

I am expecting something similar to when a python tries to swallow an alligator.   

[sonofdaxjones]

Mr. WRFF you need to post more.

[Panjandrum]

The big cracking sound you hear is the ground under the ACC right now.

Dan Wetzel ? @DanWetzel

I can add to one part of @ChipBrownOB story on FSU/Big12. FSU officials have, at least internally, discussed potential for own TV network

It's kind of hard to do that when you don't have any Tier 3 rights to do that with in your current league.

[sonofdaxjones]

Yes, nothing says we're not a basketball league, like handing the Tier III rights for football over to the league . . . yet allowing some of the biggest names in college basketball to keep their Tier III rights for basketball.

Meanwhile FSU has got to be looking at that, and realizing they're getting effed 7 ways from Sunday on that deal.   Because their Tier III b-ball rights aren't worth squat relative to Tobacco Road.   But their Tier III football rights are helping to stuff the cofers of the Wakes and the Duke's of the world.

To be fair, UNC and Duke have very, very little Tier III b-ball inventory, if any at all.  Last season the only UNC game not to air on an ESPN network or CBS was 1 game that aired on Raycom.  Duke also only had 1 game that didn't air on an ESPN TV network or CBS.  It aired on Raycom, but also simulcast on ESPN3.com.  So the idea that FSU loses their FB Tier III FB rights while UNC/Duke keep their BB isn't part of the equation to FSU.
