Judgement Day for FSU to Big 12

Today is the day Florida State may or may not reveal their interest in beginning formal talks with the Big 12, as Florida State holds their annual meeting to discuss many topics, one of them, moving to the Big 12.

Florida State’s Board of Trustees will obviously give the green light for Florida State President Barron to begin formal talks, but Barron will also be throwing in his cons against the move based on academic reasons. In the end, money may play the biggest factor in Florida State’s move to the Big 12, with the ACC’s recent shortfall in their contract negotiations with ESPN.

Should Florida State vote to begin formal talks with the Big 12, the real question is whether or not the Big 12 wants to accept formal talks with Florida State. The Big 12 ADs have already indicated their interest to stay at 10, however a recent article at orangebloods indicates a different story.

I know making it to the future four-team playoff and winning a BCS championship are important, but money will always be the swing vote that will determine future conference realignment.
