He is not only a member of the BOT, he is also highly entrenched in Florida politics.
He did not go it alone on this post. No doubt he consulted with the AD and President of FSU, with other members of the BOT - including the chairman, and with members of the legislature.
I have no idea the details of the plan and the steps along the path, but I have no doubt Drew's statement was just one piece of the orchestra.
Thanks for posting it.

Whatever, learning that SEC & BiG had 20 Natties to ACC’s 5

and no other conference had any, is a sad reality.
Liked the poster that said we would be playing without conferences but as regional entities (aka NFL) which would lead to a Natty game.

He's counting as they stand now, what conf they're

currently in and not where they were win they won it. Miami was in Big East, USC won their 2 in the Pac12 and Oklahoma and Texas in the B12.
And Ohio State has the only 2 natural titles from the B10 in that period, while the ACC has 3 (FSU and 2 from Clemson). I guess the B10 has just been better at acquiring them, with 2 coming from USC while the ACC only got 1 from Miami.
So in essence, even in his method of math, the ACC and Big 10 are tied with 4 titles a piece over that 25 year period.

The brother of another Florida power broker…Will who was Speaker of the FLA house of representatives & Chair of the Super Bowl Commitee for Tampa when they hosted a few years ago.
Ppl may not like it…. But everything he said is 100% true. Deal with reality or put your head in the sand…

... when I said "politically connected" or however I put it in the original post. (I think I included it. I know I typed it, but I might have deleted it before posting. Thanks.)

This situation reads a little like antitrust. That said, I anti-trust the ACC and am ready to get the heck out…

FSU thinks the solution to any problem is to throw money...

at it. They don't suck because they need more money. They suck because they haven't hired a good coach since Bobby retired. Good coaches don't ruin your recruiting then leave. SOS comes to mind.
