no disrespect to FSU or clemson. they are terrific programs, however there is no way they are UT or OU level in terms of tv negotiating power. I don't see them making any significant gains from a measurable $$$ standpoint, not to mention the unmeasurable such as donations, academics, history, & recruiting benefits they would lose.

conference realignment from 2010-2012 was driven by p5 schools who were scared over being behind other p5 schools by as much as 10-12 million in the near future. The b12 will most likely have around 1-3 mill advantage over the ACC. Even under the best of circumstances I don't see that number going beyond 4-5 mill. That is not enough to make any ACC school seriously consider switching.

Just . FSU is routinely one of the most-watched programs in the nation and has been for several decades.

Also, FSU is already making $6.6M/year on tier 3, on a contract that was signed in 2007 (so before these contracts really spiked in valuation).
