No chance that FSU would want that at all. So who do we blame for SMU getting the call up? Was it Bush? Just kidding. This is the part that I can't seem to come to terms with. It sucks for G5 teams that want to move up. SMU hasn't been great in the AAC but still offer enough "potential" for the ACC to include them. Oh that and money.

The best we can aim for at this point is a reverse merger that later adds 3-5 top MWC teams next year. But is Aresco up to the task? His (poor) decisions to add UNT, FAU, and Charlotte loom large. Not sure he knows what he's doing. And apparently on Wednesday he made some comments suggesting he's lukewarm about adding OSU and Wazzou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could he do? This is being driven by mountains of cash the AAC doesn't have any hope of matching. SMU has enough money to not even get any tv money at first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that would be correct based on what the vote was. If we want to be in the ACC, then FSU will have to be on the move. I'm pretty sure that's been stated here on multiple occasions.

Looking like NC State was the vote that flipped. A bad precedent has been set here if SMU is literally not going to take TV revenue for a period of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they'd definitely flip to a no if USF was included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't sit around and let them eventually destroy you. But those team selections are weird. It's weird that no one took Stanford before the ACC.

Not sure we would get Miami’s vote but hopefully our old conference mates (UL,Pitt, Cuse) will put in a good word for USF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
