![]() ![]() Florida State sends out a warning shot at the ACC for league to get it togetherĪlthough the SEC is about to get even more powerful with the additions of Oklahoma and Texas coming over from the Big 12 in 2024, one would think if the league were to expand to 18 teams, Florida State and Clemson would be its preferred additions of choice. Let’s look at why Alford is absolutely right when it comes to Florida State’s beef with the ACC. Simply put, the writing is on the wall for the ACC to get better or get left behind in athletics. “At the end of the day for Florida State to compete nationally, something has to change moving forward.”įlorida State had been a successful national independent before joining the ACC in the early 1990s, so don’t think for a second the Seminoles won’t bail on the league for a better financial opportunity long-term. So it comes as no surprise that Florida State athletic director Michael Alford had some blunt criticism of the league in which the Seminoles play. Their media rights deal is horrific, and they will get lapped. Although the Pac-12 could die, no conference is in worse shape long-term than the ACC, and Florida State knows this. With the Big Ten and SEC adding members, the Big 12 replacing members and the Pac-12 fighting for its dear life, the ACC has sat back and watched the chaotic world of realignment unfold before their very eyes. The ACC has been awfully quiet in the latest wave of conference realignment, but Florida State could be bringing a swift end to that.
