The Blue Board

It's all a cluster fvck

$2 for the genius here

Honestly don't give a shit

idk why gt is so valuable. i get they are in atlanta but the sec owns the state of georgia. i like gt as a school but i dont see how that is a big pick up. the b12 are being a bunch of puss and dont want to expand unless they have to.

some fair points in here. do you agree. i would love fsu in the sec

Florida State's AD Talking Candidly About Expansion

Read the entire article. I don't remember anyone in the ACC talking so openly about this before. What I found most telling is quoted below.

The rumblings have quieted a bit -- both nationally and at Florida State -- but Spetman said the wheels continue to turn.

"It's not done," he said. "I watch it every day, reading something about it every day, trying to get a sense and calling my counterparts and seeing where they're really at."

"Unless you bring in a revenue for them so that they don't reduce their conference distribution to themselves, they aren't going to bring you in," Spetman said. "That's what I don't think people evaluate as much. It would be great to be in the SEC with our radius of schools and the way our fans travel and their fans travel, but if they bring Florida State into the SEC, I'm trying to see, how do we sell that we bring them enough additional revenue that we pay for ourselves and they make more money off of us? They have Florida just two hours away that has the TV market here."

In the short term, Spetman said he's confident that the ACC is moving in the right direction, and the Noles staying remains the most appealing solution. However, he said his priority is to ensure that Florida State is prepared for the next major shift.

"We've had conversations at the senior level about what we should consider," Spetman said. "There will be more of those conversations -- they'll continue. It's an evolution every day."

ha we arent bad. those were bad time for use. i think ya'll are screwed though. wish ya'll would have joined back in the day so we weren't having this discussion right now

yep. too bad we didnt have an actual offer. its kinda like recruiting. we didnt have a commitable offer.

if those were bad times for you i dont know what to say. i dont know how it could be worse than FSU. 07 was the darkest year in FSU history for a long time. limped through the season. got annhilated by UF at home, academic cheating scandal, and lost to kentucky in the bowl game because we only had about 50 players eligible to play

wish the pac would add boise and hawaii. both sleeping giants in new markets. who wouldn't want to go to hawaii for four years and compete for a nat'l title. also unlv or nevada have potential. is vegas not a good sports market? has to be

to me vegas seems like miami. too much gambling and other stuff to do. i dont know how many people want to stay there for college or go to UNLV. vegas is the kind of place you visit but dont stay

Yea, I've heard that Missouri is not liked so far as an SEC team. Wonder if TXAM wouldn't have had such a succesfull season if they would be saying the same thing about them. Probably not though because of the presence in TX.

im ok if we all stay where we are at. except i want the b12 to man up and play a championship game and add some teams like byu, air force, colorado st, or something. anything other than teams like wvu on the other side of the country. i like it when conferences are somewhat regional
