SEC beat them to it by a few weeks. See the SU fan's thread: https://www.csnbbs.com/thread-890292.html

It is all about conference networks on a forced pay model that is going away. They made "100 year decisions" on a 15 year product delivery model.

And the SEC did just fine with A&M no matter what model we move to. The additions by the Big 10 (Rutgers and Maryland) and the ACC (Syracuse and Pitt) and the disposition of Missouri by the SEC may be market additions that don't pan out in the long haul. But no school is getting kicked out of any of those conferences and I sincerely doubt the SEC is handicapped in anyway when the next rights deal to replace or renew the CBS contract is completed.

While I agree that no school is going to get kicked out of their conference home, I can see instances where individual schools may enter a transfer portal to move to another conference home.
If the Big 12 comes out of 2025 unscathed, Missouri and Nebraska are possibilities to transfer back (perhaps Colorado too) or Missouri may entertain a move to the B1G.
FSU might have to look toward the SEC to regain their lost mojo, while Kentucky and Vanderbilt might find better cultural fits in another conference.
As long as the networks can increase their profits regardless of the configurations, they are apt to help rather than hinder these moves.

Missouri will stay put for no other reason than with the death of the market footprint pay model they offer little in the way of content value to the Big 10. And the Big 10 didn't take them in 2010 for a variety of reasons not the least of which was that the Big 10 already penetrated both the Kansas City and St. Louis TV markets.

Vanderbilt and Kentucky aren't leaving the SEC either. If they were going to they would have done it before the SEC became an economic giant, not after.

Nobody is returning to the Big 12. Nebraska athletic supporters might wish to do so but the President and faculty certainly don't and a return to the Big 12 for them would not only mean a downgrade in academic company, but much less revenue as they are now receiving full shares of Big 10 money.

So no X, I just don't see that kind of movement. And FSU's problems are deeper than just athletic performance as there is an apparent divergence of vision between boosters and administration.

I understand that the Big 10 had penetrated the St. Louis market in 2010, but I don’t think penetrated Kansas City. I think Nebraska claims to deliver KC which is a stretch but more likely than any of the other Big 10 schools.
