Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[CPR]

Warchant reports (1) FSU has put out feelers to B1G (FSU hopes to become AAU w/ B1G's help) and (2) 9/10 B12 members support adding FSU, CU.

B1G would make no sense

It would probably be best case scenario for USF. Opens door to ACC and possibly Big 12. FSU makes sense to B1G in financial terms. It's not a great university in terms of credentialed academics, but stranger things have happened in realignment.

Of course, many would boast that the Big 10 would never add us, claiming we would dilute the tv contract money. But, FSU would dilute their CIC research money more severely. With more research dollars and developed infrastructure for it, it would be easier for the Big 10 to make USF into an AAU member than FSU. We also possess a larger market, that would better include fans of Big 10 teams and Northern transplants & Snowbirds.

Not sure if serious

Not serious about what?

How out there your statement is.

lol at USF in the B1G

Yes lets go play ALL of our games up north in the cold.

I am not suggesting USF to the Big 10. Just that FSU does not make more sense.

I agree FSU to BG1 is a little of a reach. It might be FSU putting out rumors to expedite the process with the B12

I personally would rather see FSU go to the Big12 over the B10+.

However, if the Big 12 takes FSU & Clemson, then I think 3 things will happen:

1) The ACC will have to replace them with 2 sub-par Big East teams (UConn & USF)

2) The Big East will collapse

3) The ACC will become the new Big East, in terms of being the punching bag for the media and fans

2 sub par Big East football teams

If we're gone, doesn't matter ...

3) The ACC will become the new Big East, in terms of being the punching bag for the media and fans

It will become the ONLY punching bag. It's already been one for a while, it's just the BE was a bigger one .... but the basketball will more than awesome.

But in all honesty, we'd be better off a part of that punching bag, so long as we're not in the equipment closet collecting dust with C-USA, MAC, etc.
