To do this!
That figure (500 million + ) is insanely scaring. It took courage and also leadership from their AD, BOT and President. They could have attacked this with other schools which would have been more comfortable but apparently none are ready to go public so soon. Again, I would be very proud of my administration if I was a Florida St fan and alumni.

I can only hope Clemson is working behind the scenes and doing our due diligence as well. However, for the first time I’m not so confident we are. I do believe we’ll leave but I’m starting to wonder if we’ll be apart of the second wave. Maybe financial that’s the smart thing to do but I could now see us waiting a year or two after the Seminoles leave.

As a Clemson fan, I’m scared. I know what we bring to the table so I’m not concerned by that (being wanted by another conference) I’m scared that perhaps we’re caught with our pants down hoping the Div 1 Football teams break away rather than conference realignment.

We’ll see how all this plays out in the coming months and years.

Congrats F St! Your administration is courageous and bold!

Go Tigers!!

This is just a general reply, and not to this poster. Idiotic move! Good luck and good riddance, dou*_e-bags!! Not a brilliant move, and further . . . who cares? Florida State, with advice of counsel, willingly signed the agreement. It does not matter if it "was under duress". They signed it with the advice of counsel. Silly argument now that they want out of it. The Court will say "you willingly agreed to it, now live with it!"

To all of the other "geniuses" out there who want out of the ACC because we are not collecting some nebulous $30 million per year- wake up. We have one of the best coaches and one of the best football facilities in the nation. We did not need the extra alleged $30M per year to get that! We did all of that and won two natties without the alleged $30M per year!

Concerning the Big10 joke of a conference. Tell me please, who other than OSU and UM has even contented for a Big10 title in the last ten years? Crickets! So if this alleged $30M per year, that every other team in the sorry-A$$ed Big10 not named Michigan and OSU was receiving - how much did it help them? Answer: None!! And why is that? No history of winning and no coach named Dabo Swinney.

You could give every sorry team in the Big10 a gazillion dollars per year and they would still suck!! When are you geniuses going to understand that it not about how much money the program gets paid by the conference? Ask Texas A&M how the "big money" from the SEC has worked out for them? They had a gazillion dollars available to them BEFORE they ever joined the SEC because of their huge alumni base.

The almighty SEC, with all of their money, is still only about Alabama, Georgia, and sometimes LSU. This so called big money has not worked out for the rest of their sorry conference. Just ask the chickens. How has the "big SEC money" worked out for the cheerleader Shane Beamer?

Clemson is just fine perennially contending for an ACC title. We would not do that in either the SEC or the Big10. Clemson fans, and sorry FSU fans for that matter, stick to the ACC and be happy. Good gracious!!!!
