Action Network: Big Ten, SEC Unlikely to Add Florida State if ACC Survives

 

Several sources added they weren’t convinced they could “trust” Florida State as a new member.

 

“Look what they did: getting the attorney general involved, accusing [former ACC commissioner] John Swofford of rigging the television rights to help his son, filing a suit to expose ESPN’s TV deals — something the other three power leagues are against, by the way,” the source said. “They’re not a good partner. There’s no congeniality. No one wants that."

Yikes. 

 

So... Big 12?

Seems like it. Which sounds like a pretty bad ending considering all the money FSU will have spent, whether to buy their way out of the grant of rights or via settlement....only to end up in a conference that probably won't pay them much more, if any, than the ACC did.

 

Clemson doesn't really get mentioned, but have to think they'd be in the very same boat.
