The conference portal is about to get lit.

Is the window open? Do we have immediate eligibility, or will we need to redshirt for a year? Can we sign an LOI or is it just a verbal commit?

Fsu boards are going nuts with b1g rumours. UM/FSU to the b1g just makes too much sense to ignore. Two huge football brands, two warm wearher locations for b1g fans to travel to, huge FL media market presence, built in rivalry.

Third largest state in the country, and the place where half the Big 10 goes to retire.

It does seem to provide balance. USC/UCLA out west, then Miami/FSU. If they fill in a bit it's a true national college football conference with big names everywhere.

We better announce before those cucks.

Or at least same time.

What about tampering? Someone is tampering!!!

FSU bolting before us doesn't really mean anything to 98% of the college football fans out there. Would just hurt our egos a little.

I don't personally care when we announce...as long as we announce within a reasonable timeframe (aka not 2025 or 2026)...and it's to one of B1G or SEC.

Who thinks we’ll announce by August Miami and fsu leaving CC?

If there is truth to the FSU/Big Ten rumors, it must be true that UF was pushing hard to keep other FL schools out of the SEC. But just as much as UF, I’d imagine UGA and Bama did not want more recruiting competition in FL either. If you got UF banging the table, plus Bama and UGA not on board, it’s not going to happen.

FSU in the B10 is a thorn in the SEC's side. Really opens that region of Florida up to B10 program recruiting as well as viewership. If the SEC was smart they would want to keep FSU from the B10,

SEC is going to regret allowing us to go to Big 10. This isn’t the ACC.

Probably 90% of the population growth in the State of Florida over the past 20 years (outside of Miami / Dade) has been people from the Midwest and Northeast moving into SW Florida (Tampa to Marco Island), Jacksonville to Boca, and the Orlando area. One individual did an economic evaluation and estimated that some crazy number like $100 Billion in 'wealth' had relocated from the MW / NE to Florida over the past five years. These are all people from B10 country so the B10 fanbase in Florida is most likely larger than any single B10 state in the Midwest or Northeast.

Did not see this prior to my previous post. I completely agree. Big 10 will own Florida. You can revisit USF down the road, too, as an option.

Man I can’t wait to tell ESPN and the SEC to lick our nuts and F off

Meh. Personally, I just want to win #6. Then #7 and so forth. I don’t care about conference pride but at the same time want to play with the big boys.

Not to mention the number of UM alumni that move back home after graduating. Lot of alumni in NYC, LA, Chicago, and DC areas.
