Here's a nice summary of the stalemate:
Quote:
FSU wouldn't mind leaving the ACC but doesn't want to go elsewhere without other regional buddies...
But the Big 12 wants FSU without its regional buddies watering down the money, so that's a stalemate at present.
Meanwhile...
FSU would jump at an SEC offer...
But the SEC wants the VA and NC markets...
But the VA and NC programs won't consider the SEC without an ACCgeddon produced by FSU leaving the conference.
The SEC could easily produce such an ACCgeddon by offering FSU, but they would then lose one of their target markets and FSU is too big a gorilla for them to offer.
The SEC would prefer the Big 12 to get FSU so they have a chance at VA and NC schools in the ensuing ACCgeddon.
But ESPN would prefer the ACC stay intact and won't offer the Big 12 enough money to take enough ACC teams to make FSU happy.
