I think it is just a matter of time before teams like FSU and Clemson jump ship. Anyone agree? What would be your prediction about a new college football realignment?
FSU and Clemson both want out of the ACC. From what I have read, Florida State looks like it will join the Big 10. The money is so much more one can't blame the schools for looking out for their best interest and to remain competitive nationally. Due to lower academic standing, the Big 10 doesn't seem to want Clemson. You don't think Big 10 fans would like to travel to warm South Carolina in November??? Nebraska was once a AAU member and lost that standing but it doesn't seem to matter.
Clemson is a fit for the SEC but will the Gamecocks fight having a second SEC team in the Palmetto State? Does it matter? Probably not. Tennessee-Vanderbilt, Auburn-Alabama are two SEC schools in the same state. North Carolina is coveted for their academics and basketball by the Big 10 but are they joined to the hip with North Carolina State? Georgia Tech fits academically in the Big 10 and gives the Atlanta market to the Big 10. Imagine having a Big 10 school in the same city where the SEC championship game is played.
