FSU and Clemson only go to the B12 if SEC and B1G say no…. And a lot of rumors say those 2 conferences are good and may turn those 2 down. So… this is a reality but it’s such a hot take ppl don’t believe it. IMO it is definitely a possibility especially if ESPN can negotiate a bigger payout for those 2 schools
CLEMSON and FSU are worth more in the ACC and would depreciate in the BIG12. FSU likely has no choice but the BIG12, but CLEMSON has a good chance at a UNC coattail to the SEC.
@@tarheel7406the Big 20 ans SEC teams aren't going to take a pay cut to add FSU or Clemson. The ACC is so weak that an undefeated champ couldn't even make the playoffs.
FSU grad. Did not know that about Big 12 Commissioner. I'm a long time serial entrepreneur and love that now two venture capital companies are already approaching FSU.
@tarheel7406 I would imagine it's a contract deal over xxx years like every other league, but my point is more about how uneven and unrealistic of a deal it would have be.
The Big 10 and SEC teams aren't going to take a pay cut to add FSU or Clemson. If FSU would've been undefeated in the Big 12, they wouldn't have missed the playoffs.
I’m sure FSU and Clemson will get a little more, but it won’t be to the extent of SEC/B1G. I would still move to the B12 if that’s their only option if somehow they can escape grant of rights, because B12 can still negotiate contract and probably push 33 million to 38 million per school pay out plus all the other revenues. Currently B12 is projected to make 45-55 million while B1G is projected 85 million and sec 75 million. I can see fsu/clemson getting an additional 5-10 million and B12 contract renews half a decade before ACC, so it’ll be a future investment.
I understand the need for any business to be growing, or they will be dying. But I fail to see the upside of larger and fewer conferences. The Pac 12 failed to grow, and they died, but college sports were more interesting with a large regional conference, including one on the West Coast.
I was surprised to see no discussion about grant of rights. While your talk about CU/FSU going to the SEC due to ESPN overlap between conferences is logical, it fails to recognize that the ACC owns their media rights through 2036 because the schools granted it to them. So the ACC owns their TV rights and can assign them to their media partners and pays out its member institutions the TV revenues. But if they move conferences, they will be in violation of their GOR and will not receive a payout. Nor can they resell their rights to another media partner (ie Fox if they went to the B1G) because they don’t own their own rights, the ACC does. Maybe there will come a breaking point where the cost to buy back their rights outweighs the long term loss of future revenue. Also, there is little incentive for ESPN to aid in the move because they’re currently paying them below market compared to what they’d be worth in the SEC. I think the SEC and B1G could be interested long term, but not while they have the albatross of a contract for the next 12 years. It’s not worth the legal battle for either of those conferences when I don’t think they’d make the TV contract that much bigger to begin with. Yes, the TV contract “pie” if you will would get bigger if they joined the SEC or B1G, but I don’t think it’s to the point where the per school payout would be any bigger, and that’s the main sticking point. If you aren’t adding value, then what’s the point? I think the lone college property out there that would add value to the SEC or the B1G is Notre Dame. The others either keep it consistent or probably diminish the overall value. Now Clemson or FSU adding value to the Big 12 is another story, but I think they have equally the same issue of getting out of their 12 year GOR with the ACC to make any deals.
Rumor is that ESPN is writing an amendment to the GOR and Media contract so teams can leave. Of course the important part is the details and we do not know the details.
The EPSN contract expires in 2027 unless ESPN renews and if they don’t, the GOR goes with it. But the biggest problem for the ACC is what the definition of certain words is. Either one or both judges out of state could rule against the ACC and both schools could leave for maybe $80m each. Secondly, FSU earns more for the ACC than all but maybe three or four schools in the B1G earn. They are one of the most profitable teams in the country.
You don’t want to see your Conference succeed and each school to make a bigger profit each year, therefore making the football programs bigger and better, while having a higher chance of competing for a National Title? Damn, really strange mindset.
The additions will change the dynamics Yormark is smarter than all us put together. TV deal will either go up or Yormark will go elsewhere. Never understood why B10 gets more than the SEC. These things are not stagnant. Nor are the differences in pay.
The B1G is historically uber-flagships with large undergrad enrollments with good to elite academics. That means large fanbases of higher media value per viewer. In contrast, the SEC generally consists of historically smaller states and schools with much lower academic standing.
Would Clemson and FSU prefer the Big 12 as the first option, no. However, if the Notre dame and Stanford rumors to the Big 10 have any validity, bet your bottom dollar they will hold out for the holy grail of realignment in Notre Dame. Also, if the rumblings are true about the SEC prefering to have UNC and UVA for new markets, there is a possibility Clemson and FSU could be on the outside looking in on the P2. If they did come to the Big 12, it wouldn't be a lateral move. We just added the 4 corner schools, and with FSU and Clemson, our CFP revenue would go up, and our media deal rolls around in 2030-2031. Would it be SEC or Big 10 money? No. But they would most likely bring a media payout of around 60m per school, without all the other pay outs added in, which is alot better than what they have in the ACC. Not to mention, the Big 12 is a more competitive league as a whole than the ACC, so your wins look better and playing a Big 12 schedule as an FSU and Clemson probably gets you in the CFP alot more often than playing a Big 10 or SEC schedule. I dont think it would be a bad place for them. The Big 12 has great fanbases and culture I think both institutions would grow to like being in the league if it ended up being their only option.
@tarheel7406 No, they wouldn't. Is that why Texas and OU are in the SEC now because they were depreciated by being in the Big 12? You just always view things from the past. We are not in the 1980s anymore, Clemson has carried the ACC, and outside them, ACC football has been down all the way around. Since 1998, against all P4 conferences, the Big 12 has a winning record of 210-207. They only have head to head losses against the SEC. The Big 12 has head to head wins over the Big 10, Pac, and ACC. The ACC has a losing record against the Big 12, Pac, SEC, and Big 10 with 256-314. They are the worst P4 football conference, Clemson isn't the whole ACC. Since the portal changes and NIL, the Big 12 has more tournament bids than the ACC and 2 national titles, the ACC has 1 and fewer tournament bids. The Big 12 has a winning record in head to heads against all P4 conferences with 38-31. The ACC has a losing record 34-56. For the last 5 years, the Big 12 has a winning bowl record of 22-13, and the ACC has a losing record 21-28. The ACC has played 14 more bowl games and still has fewer wins. No one watches collegiate sports for academics. They watch it for the quality of the product on the field or court. The Big 12 does that vastly better than the ACC. Can't argue the stats. The ACC is abysmal without FSU and Clemson.
@@tarheel7406 Not to mention using media deals from a 12 team league to equate the value of a new 16 team league or 18 team league if FSU and Clemson join doesn't add up. The Big 12s future media rights deal is going to be better than the ACCs hands down.
Since 90 I have wondered where FSU ends up. Clemson was always ACC but FSU was that golden calf and I was shocked when they went ACC. FSU and Clemson made way more sense to the SEC than OU and Texas.

The teams in the Big 10 and SEC aren't going to take a pay cut to add FSU or Clemson. Why would they? I don't see either adding teams *except Notre Dame) before their media rights deals are up in 2030
Notre Dame fanboys are hilarious, they always underperform and haven’t won a Title in any of our lifetimes. They’re the most overrated sports team in America and I’d even argue their “brand” isn’t even bigger than FSU or Clemson (maybe the same but not necessarily BIGGER). Success matters, always has, always will, and ND has just LACKED that top level success in the past 35 years that BOTH Clemson and FSU have achieved a multitude of times.

That’s not entirely accurate… there’s ONE valid point in leaving, and that’s the fact that the Big 12 media rights contracts with Fox and ESPN are both more easily renegotiated during the duration of the current contract AND are up for renewal/renegotiation a half a decade sooner
@@maxherbig2728 point number two. Clemson/FSU aside, there are 7 ACC schools serious about winning in football, with alumni bases willing and able to put forth the resources to compete. All 16 Big 12 schools are serious about football, with the will and resources to do what it takes to compete. There are no unserious football schools (BC, Cuse, Wake, GT, Duke, UVA) in the Big 12. Even the B12’s small private schools or historic basketball schools have spent or are spending hundreds of millions on making football nationally competitive.

Fsu has a better chance in the BigXII than anywhere else. Congrats on beating UF and LSU. They don't represent the SEC anymore. Kelly will be fired/retired from LSU, and UF has been a dumpster fire for about a decade. You can't just quit in the SEC and still win in that conference.
I love it when arrogant people get their comeuppance. Hey FSU, don’t treat your current conference like 💩 and maybe you will be attractive to one of the Big 2 conferences.
You got it the wrong way around. The ACC has treated FSU like garbage for well over a decade at this point. I mean just look at FSU's placement in FOOTBALL commercials. The ACC is content being a G5 conference with that horrible CFI deal, lets ND walk all over them instead of forcing ND to join the ACC, and runs a major business like a lemonade stand, like operating against the best interests of the conference to prop up floundering Raycom. And that's not even getting into the terrible refs that favor Tobacco Road schools, especially flipping Wake Forest (Why?).
Treat the ACC like shit? The ACC is a business, not a person. Don’t feel sad for corporate businesses, especially ones who take advantage of other business (ACC Schools) and sign them to lifetime deals of financial slavery.
@@encycl07pedia- Also ignorant.... a) FSU fans paranoid. b) The CFP already accounts for expected ACC depletion. c) ND was not going to be forced to join the ACC under prior circumstances. d) Delusional to think that a Tier 3 rights deal with Raycom (a long-standing partner) was material. Even wild animals know not to poo where they are sleeping. Going scorched earth has really harmed FSU's relationships with the parties that matter.
Don't let your heart override your brain. The SEC is by far the better choice for Florida State. I say this as a 42-year-old fan, 20-year-old booster, and a member of the battles end. So trust me those that care the most want the SEC. It's better for Tallahassee. It's better for the university. And everybody makes more money because our football team will be competing and competing very well in the best football conference in the nation. I was mad too. I absolutely hated what happened. I was at the ACC Championship game and then went to a restaurant sitting at the bar eating breakfast watching the selection show and almost threw up my food when we were not selected. It was devastating. But calmer heads must prevail even mine. The SEC has 16 national championships in the last 20 years or so. The Big Ten has three. I would rather go to the conference of champions.

All 16 Big 12 schools are serious about football, with the will and resources to do what it takes to compete. There are no unserious football schools (BC, Cuse, Wake, GT, Duke, UVA) in the Big 12.
Even the B12’s small private schools or historic basketball schools have spent or are spending hundreds of millions on making football nationally competitive.
The teams in the Big 10 or SEC aren't going to take a pay cut to add FSU or Clemson. Maybe Notre Dame.
Private equity can change a whole lot of things
I would like to see the sec and the big 10 both sporting 32 member conferances, see big 10 afc draFT STOCK AND SEC NFC DRAFT STOCK AND THE BIG 12 lEINGERIE FOORBALL GIRL SCHOOL BUSINESS, ok we will let them go to the united football league and OSU can send their football players to the rehab leaguie.
How does he not know Clemson/FSU are suing ACC haha
Congratulations 👏 go to the Big loser conference . Lol 🤣🤣🤣
That's the conference we're leaving, genius.
@@encycl07pedia- big 12 is big loser. They're leaving the ACC dummy. The best conference is the SEC. Roll tide
@@encycl07pedia- i am smart enough to know the best football is in the SEC
@@ARMY-ep6fz Yeah, you have the intelligence of many Alabama fans. Of course my post went right over your head.
The SEC didn't even make it to the CFI finals with their illegitimate spot.
On the plus side, you're an ideal pawn: no mind of your own, no questioning orders, no real loss if you never come home.
@@encycl07pedia- i also have the joy of many championships as a Bama fan loser
so why arent you uhm folks "crazy people" hearing the whispers of Texas A abd M and Missouri wanting to jump to the Big 10? if so Because Nebraska is no longer aau could they possibly end up at brety floormats big 12 conferance? Or could Oklahoma Have their twin brother back in a congerance and see nebraska back in a souther recruiting field and join OU as an wec school.
Fsu has a better chance in the BigXII than anywhere else. Congrats on beating UF and LSU. They don't represent the SEC anymore. Kelly will be fired/retired from LSU, and UF has been a dumpster fire for about a decade.
You can't just quit in the SEC and still win in that conference.
No
I love it when arrogant people get their comeuppance. Hey FSU, don’t treat your current conference like 💩 and maybe you will be attractive to one of the Big 2 conferences.
You got it the wrong way around. The ACC has treated FSU like garbage for well over a decade at this point. I mean just look at FSU's placement in FOOTBALL commercials. The ACC is content being a G5 conference with that horrible CFI deal, lets ND walk all over them instead of forcing ND to join the ACC, and runs a major business like a lemonade stand, like operating against the best interests of the conference to prop up floundering Raycom.
And that's not even getting into the terrible refs that favor Tobacco Road schools, especially flipping Wake Forest (Why?).
Treat the ACC like shit? The ACC is a business, not a person. Don’t feel sad for corporate businesses, especially ones who take advantage of other business (ACC Schools) and sign them to lifetime deals of financial slavery.
@@encycl07pedia- Also ignorant....
a) FSU fans paranoid.
b) The CFP already accounts for expected ACC depletion.
c) ND was not going to be forced to join the ACC under prior circumstances.
d) Delusional to think that a Tier 3 rights deal with Raycom (a long-standing partner) was material.
Even wild animals know not to poo where they are sleeping. Going scorched earth has really harmed FSU's relationships with the parties that matter.
FSU wouldn’t want to leave if there wasn’t so much mismanagement at the top but you dnt see that
@@Almighty5-ww1kl FSU has indeed been mismanaged at the top.
Nope.
No no no no please no! I hate the SEC with a passion. It is the evil empire but I will take the SEC over big12.
If FSU would've been undefeated in the Big 12, they would've made the playoffs
Don't let your heart override your brain. The SEC is by far the better choice for Florida State. I say this as a 42-year-old fan, 20-year-old booster, and a member of the battles end. So trust me those that care the most want the SEC. It's better for Tallahassee. It's better for the university. And everybody makes more money because our football team will be competing and competing very well in the best football conference in the nation.
I was mad too. I absolutely hated what happened. I was at the ACC Championship game and then went to a restaurant sitting at the bar eating breakfast watching the selection show and almost threw up my food when we were not selected. It was devastating. But calmer heads must prevail even mine.
The SEC has 16 national championships in the last 20 years or so. The Big Ten has three. I would rather go to the conference of champions.
@@wvgolfnut1That is purely speculative 😂. Plus I very seriously doubt that.
They aint going to the big 12 ,well fsu aint anyway
FSU may not have a choice.
So funny. Big12 isn’t bullying anyone. Big12 is being used in a negotiation. Too funny
Used for what?? If the sec or b1g wanted them they would already be there
Saya every schizophrenic ever there is truth in the whispers.
FSU and Clemson will join the SEC. And Florida, Missouri, Notre Dame, and A&M go to the Big 10.
For how long and by how many professionals must it be reported that CLEMSON and FSU are low expansion priorities for the SEC?
@@tarheel7406anyone reporting that is about as knowledgeable as you. That’s not a good thing. NOBODY knows what the powers that be are doing behind the scene. Most certainly not you.
@@FSUOwnsTheState Amazing. FSU defenders still in denial bring those stranded Japanese soldiers to mind.
@@tarheel7406 Denying what? That you know absolutely nothing and jump at every headline you see with amazing naivety? You are not an insider, and you're an absolute fool if you believe anyone has told you anything of substance about where any of the ACC schools might end up. Stop pretending to have a clue of what you're talking about. It's sad.
@@tarheel7406 deny what? All things are still possible. The thing we know for certain is that you aren’t an insider and would be insanely naive to take any reporting on this at face value. You simply have no idea what you’re talking about.
Of course they run from comp. Big 12 is damn near a G5 with no UT or OU. Ok st is above average, but no other top tier programs.
What about Utah?
If FSU would've been undefeated in the Big 12, they would've made the playoffs
@@wvgolfnut1 Nope, not if that would have kept the SEC out.
No. Just no.
First comment ❤.
Big-12 is mid.
Brett Yormark is a grifter.
Sorry - unimpressed with reporting and commentary. Go watch John Kurtz, Greg Flugaur, or Big XII Mafia. The Dellinger scoop on the convos came from Kurtz.
