FSU made about $40m last year, so about 10% more this year. Even assuming a 5% increase each year, it should be looking at $56m in 2028. I'm assuming that isn't including additional playoff revenue.

Back in 2021, Texas and Oklahoma announced they were moving to the SEC as of July 1, 2025 - the day after the Big 12 GOR ended, with the assumption they would negotiate their way out earlier. Legally, they said July 1, 2025 to avoid court battles.

Why can't the ACC teams do the same with a longer term projected date?

FSU, UNC, Clemson, Miami could announce they are joining the B1G/SEC effective July 1, 2036. And then let the cards fall where they may from that announcement.

Predicting the landscape of college sports 3 years is difficult. In 12-13 years impossible. UCF / USF could be more attractive Big 10 adds than FSU .
When the AAC was formed UConn was the biggest brand in the conference and we cried we were the better choice than Rutgers for the B1G and certainly Louisville for the ACC .
Yet 12 years later we’re treated like we don’t even exist .
In 2010
If you said Cuse, Pitt , Louisville, SMU Stanford , and Cal would be in the ACC
Rutgers ,Nebraska USC , UCLA , Oregon , and Washington would be in the B1G
Texas A&M , Missouri , Texas , Oklahoma would be in the SEC
That WVA , TCU, Houston, UCF ,BYU Cincinnati, UA , ASU , Utah would be in the B12
and OSU , and WSU would be trying to hookup with the MW to survive
and finally Neither the Big East or PAC would exist as viable major football conferences they would have you committed .

Prime has juice no question about it . Whether its a flash in the pan or the beginnings of building something concrete will be determined by the number on left side of the Won / Loss column greatly exceeding the right side .

Prime won’t be in Colorado long enough to build anything concrete. Also, once his sons are done with college football will he still want to coach?

have not heard he only got into coaching for his kids, but fully expect him to leave Colorado once his sons do, which will be after this season. shadeur is a junior and can go pro and shilo is a senior.

Deion is coaching for more than familial reasons or for the money. Ego and challenge are big parts of it. I suspect he'll hang around CU-Boulder for a few years until an offer comes either from FSU or one of the P2 schools. The size of a buyout would be substantial. Until greener pastures come calling, Boulder is a really attractive place to hang one's hat.

This sounds good and all, but is the B1G really going to pass up on Miami? Especially if Florida State goes to the SEC. I don't see any scenario where the B1G does not have at least one school in Florida when this is all said and done.

If Florida State goes to the B1G, it's possible Miami stays in the ACC because the SEC probably isn't interested.

Likewise, I think it can be argued that both the B1G and SEC have an interest in adding Virginia.

Outside shot that the B1G would want Georgia Tech for Atlanta and Georgia recruiting.

Otherwise, if the ACC can fend off the Big 12, I think this lineup is realistic.

so he has fsu, clemson, unc, louisville and VT leaving? backfilling with UConn and USF. i assume he meant to list wake instead of cuse a second time. but who's taking lville and VT over miami and virginia??

if this is an academic play it has to be tulane or rice over USF.

Let's hope UConn gets an invite soon!

Hope is not a plan. Sadly, i think it is what suffices as a plan for the UConn decision makers.

It appears the current UConn leadership realizes that a boost in UConn's conference affiliation will help the university directly or indirectly on many fronts. It would be easier for them if the football team was not just poking its head out of a dumpster again. Let's all hope, I use the word again, football gets six wins this season.

I doubt he ever takes the FSU job. I think he stays in Boulder for 4 - 5 years before leaving for a program like Miami or Texas.

Terrible nfl hire. His edge isn’t tactical. It is charismatic. He can acquire talent and dna also become the dave of the program. That is his main value as a coach.

That is irrelevant in the nfl.

Yes, and he has no interest. I think he likes coaching in college.

I don’t think he needs the money.

But the ego boost of winning a Super Bowl is too tempting.

Its not about needing the money. I don't think, guys like Urban or Matt Rhule needing the money, its about the money being too good to pass up, and the challenge of "can i do this". I'd put Lane Kiffin in there as well.
