Florida State unhappy with ACC: 'We are not satisfied with our current situation'
Hop aboard the carousel that is college football expansion.
The Big Ten is getting better with the addition of USC and UCLA. The SEC is adding two powerhouses in Oklahoma and Texas. Heck, even the Big 12 is making aggressive moves toward expansion.
Naturally, this leaves once-proud conferences at risk of being downgraded. Just ask the Pac-12 how it feels to lose multiple schools, with more likely jumping ship in the near future. It could lead to the complete collapse of a conference.
The ACC hasn't experienced that kind of change yet, but there have been rumblings that Florida State may be considering a shift.
Those rumblings became a straight-up roar with the below comments from FSU president Richard McCullough, who spoke with college football insider Brett McMurphy.
"We are not satisfied with our current situation. We love the ACC. Our goal [is] to stay in the ACC, but to stay in ACC under [the] current situation is hard for us to figure out how we remain competitive unless there is a major change in revenue distribution [within] the ACC," McCullough said.
If FSU is really unhappy and finds a way to jump ship to, for example, the Big Ten or SEC, that could start the total collapse of the ACC. It wouldn't be shocking to hear that Clemson would be on the way out the door right behind the Seminoles and then who would be left? No offense, but Pitt or Wake Forest just don't draw.
Of course, this could all be posturing by McCullough to get FSU a better revenue deal within the conference, but the leadership of the ACC has to be absolutely terrified to hear these sentiments coming out of Tallahassee.
