Another FSU BOT Says Big12 Approached FSU

[Chin Diesel]

Not just any board of trustee either. Derrick Brooks, former FSU AA and NFL'er with the Bucs made some very pointed statements on the Tim Brando radio show.

Brooks' term as a trustee expired last summer meaning what he is saying now is a continuation of what he has already known to be said.

AMELIA ISLAND - The Florida State-Big 12 saga took another interesting twist Wednesday.
Former Seminoles football star and former university Board of Trustees member Derrick Brooks said on national radio that the Big 12 Conference reached out to FSU, not the other way around.

Brooks, a Washington High graduate, was speaking on the Tim Brando show when he made the comments.

“From my understanding, it is the Big 12, you know, wanting to talk to us,” Brooks said. “Again, that’s from my understanding. That appears to be the case.”

Brooks, whose term on the Board of Trustees expired last summer, also said “this is no new discussion for Florida State in terms of leaving the ACC, whether it be the SEC talk, Big 12, whatever conference. It’s nothing new.”

This has the feel of A&M redux...Florida State is trying to go. It might be this year. It might be next year, but they are gone when the details get worked out.

i think the more important part is "this is no new discussion for Florida State in terms of leaving the ACC, whether it be the SEC talk, Big 12, whatever conference. It’s nothing new"

the way i read it, there have been talks, but there's always talk and there's nothing more to it than that.
