Florida State "Unlikely" to go to SEC or Big Ten.
By Jesse Coger from Plant the Spear Podcast
In a recent report released by Brett McMurphy of the Action Network, he stated that the Big Ten and SEC have “no interest” in adding Florida State if it leaves the ACC & the ACC stays intact. These “sources” from around the B1G & SEC don’t want FSU because it doesn’t make financial sense, there’s no appetite to expand & “they’ve been a disruptive partner.” Could FSU really be left on the outside looking in, or do they have a seat at the Power 2 table despite these reports? I have quite a few thoughts on this outside of the fact that I’m simply not buying it. Let’s begin by addressing the financial comments.
TV Viewership
Knowing that TV revenue is the main driver of finances in college athletics, FSU was the 7th most-viewed college football team in 2023. Their 3.58M weekly viewers would have made them the 3rd most-watched team in the B1G and 4th in the SEC (post-expansion). Despite coming off a fourth consecutive bad season, they were also in the Top 15 in 2022.
