For appearances sake - it now appears he is trying to put the nuke back in the silo:
Haggard says FSU 'should keep an open mind'
"The morning after his comments ignited talk around the country of even more conference realignment, Florida State Board of Trustees chair Andy Haggard tried to clarify his stance on FSU, the ACC and any possible suitor “All I tried to say was I think Florida State needs to keep an open mind,” Haggard said Sunday morning. “If the Big 12 or the SEC or any other conference wants to talk, we have an obligation to listen. If the Big 12 calls, should we hang up the phone? No.“I’m not saying take it. I’m saying listen to it. Listen to what they have to say.”
Haggard also said he would back down from his comments regarding FSU’s Tier 3 rights in the recently signed television contract between the ACC and ESPN “if I spoke on poor information.”
“But (Tier 3 rights) is not the main issue,” Haggard said. “We have to listen to how much more money may be out there. There are other issues that need to be considered. My only point is to listen to anybody who wants to talk – especially in these economic times.”
