I prefer realignment by Chris Farley where the 10 bastard schools that ditched us all end up in a van down by the river. |

I did intentionally start a thread about this because I thought this development was worthy enough of its' own discussion.
The idea of FSU shopping for bonds and doing a full-scale overhaul of the program with the potential exit fees rolled up into the overall budget is interesting. This is a development that frankly nobody has brought up as a possibility, most posters here were seeing the situation as binary: either FSU uses the courts to get out or they are stuck with exit fees that are impossible to pay.
This very clearly is a new third option.
But beyond that, this is potentially a blueprint for a program that has enormous potential but has not kept up on the college football arms races. UCLA comes to mind.

UCLA comes to mind. I am rooting for Florida State to exit through the court and without paying a fee, because I want the ACC to crash and burn. The ACC has it coming. That said, your article is not necessarily a third option. It looks like Florida State is exploring the viability of a third option. I would guess that, after it is completely vetted, it will be determined that it would be stupid to do something like that this year. But it may become a better and more viable decision down the line. |

That development only helps the Pac2. |

I am!
FSU fans have an insatiable appetite for analysis of their financial position. I've written three pieces. One on their massive bond issue, which may have room to leverage interest rates and borrow some extra money. One on their private equity pursuit. And one trying to make sense of all the redactions in their public disclosures. After I posted those my views skyrocketed and I was asked to interview with a Tampa, Florida radio station and then on a couple of the YouTube channels. On one of them, they had a real journalist (Dennis Dodd/CBS) before me and my clip has ten times the views.
All to say, there is a huge gap in engagement between FSU and the Cal's of the world.
I'm working on an article now that evaluates the ACC schools and their financial capacity to compete in the Big 10/SEC Super League. We'll see how much hate I get when I toss out the red flags.

Don't forget to pimp BennysHouse.com when you're on with the media. The check's in the mail! |
