UGG, first the big east/ind now bounce from the acc? Sigh...

At first I was intrigued with all the conference re-alignment when I thought we were gonna raid the big-12 and in essence lead to 4 super conferences. After that all fell through though it's just random parts moving around at this point and I'm getting kind of sick of it. We are kinda ruining some of the traditions of college football as each team moves around

Agreed. I don't like it at all.

With the new pac 12 tv deal, the acc is lagging far behind in terms of potential revenue...makes sense for em to go....and would be a nasty conference if so.....

In any event, I would not get too torn up about conference allegiance...if Larry Scott gets his way, we may be looking at one 72 team conference that negotiates as a whole......

I would love to see FSU and Texas play every year. With that being said, I don't mind the conference realignment at all. These schools are looking out for themselves and their financial solvency within their athletic departments. It's unfortunate that it has gotten to this point, but can you blame them? If the PAC-12 was in the crapper and Oregon was invited to a conference where they would play higher profile teams, be on national TV more, and make more money, would we blame them? The ACC is awful for football and doesn't look to improve anytime soon. Would you rather play Texas and Oklahoma or Maryland and Boston College?

I should point out that I'm a rabid FSU fan and any deal that gets them on TV on a more frequent basis excites me. Not to mention the recruiting pipeline it could potentially lead to in Texas, playing there on an annual basis.
