I wonder why all attention is focused on fsu, I'd guess it is because they are involved in the lawsuits. I am curious though why they are acting alone. I saw one report that North Carolina and North Carolina State are soliciting the BIG as joined together. This rather disturbed fsu folks and I can understand why. So far all we have is rumors. Meanwhile I wonder what our real position and what actions we might take besides simply waiting to see the fsu outcome. I believe if we are serious about jumping we should reluctantly join with those who actively are pursuing other options, not my preference. I also wonder why and if the SEC and BIG are pursuing more additions. It seems both the SEC and BIG are crowded already yet many seem confident that ACC schools threatening to leave know where they will end up. If they don't could they end up without a partner at the dance? I think that is possible.
I have some problems with the ACC BUT I like the teams in it that we regularly schedule. All have decent climates and are competitive but ones we can dominate. I'd hate to see us in the BIG simply because of weather and style of play. The BIG has 18 teams already and the SEC 16 so it seems more likely the SEC has room for 2 more. Is the speculation about us wanting out valid? Are we being silent to avoid controversy? or are we not interested in moving? I don't like ACC officials and that needs to be addressed soon, but I do like the competition we face and as implied I like our weather for football and without any changes we have the best basketball teams in the NCAA. Our baseball teams are fun to watch and are all competitive, I'm reluctant to see us move out of the ACC and hope that the financial imbalance can be fixed soon.
