This is my biggest fear. The ACC just saw a founding member leave over a football issue. Do they want to risk losing their only two major football teams by adding UConn? Unfortunately it's all about the here and now and UConn looks horrible in football. I really worry that FSU will force the ACC hand. Football drives the revenue bus....
The sad reality is that Charlie Strong is probably gone after this season and Louisville can easily regress to their selves of two seasons ago. So it's sad that this could be the driving factor when UConn offers more.

Would those two have enough influence? Wanting to strengthen football base and committ to remaining?
A number of things going on I'm sure.

Huh? Sorry you lost me on this one...what did I say I that I know?Out of curiosity, why do you think you know something that FSU doesn't know?
Bingo!If FSU and Clemson are planning to go to the Big 12 the addition of Louisville is not going to stop them. The ACC has to do what's best for the ACC and in my opinion that is UConn and it's really not close. Ville fills a short term football desire but again if the Big 12 comes calling, FSU and Clemson are not going to say "no we're staying now because the conference added Louisville."

That Strong is likely to leave soon and they might just as easily become LV under Kragthorpe as LV under Strong.
Gotcha. Thanks. I think it's a strong possibility of happening though. He seems to be at the top of a lot of rumor mill lists for positions like Arkansas and now Tennessee.

I agree with you. My point is only that if you and I know that there is not a big difference between UConn and LV as football programs, as opposed to as 2012 football teams, there is no reason to think FSU can't draw the same conclusion.
Conference realignment seems quite shortsignted at times.

Haggard said he's "heard the rumor" about Connecticut replacing Maryland but hasn't thought about which schools should be candidates or how that addition would impact Florida State's thinking.
"I think it needs to be explored," Haggard said. "(ACC commissioner) John Swofford is going to explore all those avenues."

FSU trustee says Noles will "stay the course"
Here is the guy who raised hell after Pitt / Cuse last year, now he's more neutral sounding:
