Cane brotha, how is the SEC not a "perfect scenario" for us?

Great reply and apologies to my fellow Canes residing in the great state of North Florida (if you indeed are from NoFlo 😊)

Where are they putting it? Pretty sure their campus is around the size of ours, but then again, they don’t have a lake in the middle. Also, they probably can build a much smaller capacity.

Technically, we don't have a lake. Just a very wiiiiiide canal.

But that's where our stadium was SUPPOSED to go. Then we widened the canal, sold the dirt to the Rickenbacker Causeway, and finished construction on the Merrick Building.

Remember that time Clemson and FSU were a sure thing out the door? ACC was dead conference walking?

What changed since then? Someone learned how to read a contract?

First, Clemson and F$U need a landing spot. Which might happen.

Second, has anyone learned how to read a legal settlement and/or an amended constitution & by-laws?

First available time to give notice to leave the ACC, under the revised exit fee (with no unenforceable GOR penalties) is June 1, 2026.

See y'all in 10 months to discuss this subject at that time.

You're making stuff up ... nowhere at FSU / Clemson are there any informed fans saying they're 5 years away. General concensus is "announcing by June 1 2026 for either the 27 or 28 season".

From one of my contacts in BigTen:

“Petitti (BigTen commish), will circle back to expansion opportunities, now that CFB playoff changes won’t happen for another year. BigTen and FOX want to keep riding their wave of success against SEC and ESPN.

ACC schools now having a defined path for exist also materially helps matters.”

I still stand by what I said last year, and expect an announcement by Spring 2026 to begin play in 2027

The plan remains unchanged. The people that make this decision - not the status quo mediocrity brigade in the athletic department or BOT - want out of the ACC. Make no mistake, Joe E. (who’s probably the biggest football supporter we’ve ever had in that position) is going to do anything and everything to get a P2 berth for us. For this task, specifically, he’s the right guy for the job. As for the rest of the school TBD (reviews are hit or miss)

And yes, it’s a man-made lake, but we still still call it a lake, and 1) we’re not going to fill it in for a stadium, and 2) not sure it’s even big enough, though that isn’t my area of expertise, so I may be wrong on that. If we are going to keep expanding campus, wouldn’t it be easier to put one on the other side of Red Road where it would be South Miami’s jurisdiction, and not Coral Gables? Sure that’s been debated to death already though, too.
