Gene Williams of Warchant is reporting this as of this morning. That is our FSU site and he is extremely plugged in at FSU.
“The most interesting and shocking nugget that came my way from a well-placed TV insider is that the Big Ten is talking to Georgia Tech. I wanted to discount this because Tech obviously isn’t much of a TV draw and has been on the decline for the past few decades. Apparently, the Big Ten did a deep dive into the numbers, think GT can be relevant again and want to get in the Atlanta/Southeast market. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that Atlanta is in the heart of SEC country. And Georgia Tech is another AAU school, which would keep the academics in the Big Ten happy.
Let’s assume there is something to this nugget. If there is, what does that mean for Florida State?
- It’s disheartening that Georgia Tech might get a pass out of the ACC before FSU does, but this could be incredibly positive.
- I didn’t get any details on the question everyone wants to know – ‘How does any ACC school leave the conference and avoid financial ruin with the Grant of Rights running through 2036?’ I didn’t get a straight answer on how that could happen but was told that it would get worked out.”
