    There are some remaining UF fans that have experience in that area, so if that happens I guess we'll just have to 'wait til next year.'

    When I was at UF I had a front license plate on my car that read “Wait Hell We’ve Waited 40 Years”. It would be another 20 before we won our first official SEC Championship

    Dad had the same plate on the front of our car also in the 70's.

    A buddy of mine (FSU fan) is 100% iron clad convinced that they will be in the Big 10 soon, maybe as soon as 2025. I don't see it and haven't heard any rumblings but he and his FSU faithful are certain of it.

    If memory serves me correctly, the FSU faithful were certain Bob Stoops was coming to Tallacrappie after Willie Taggert was fired.

    When I was at UF in 1990, when the SEC would not recognize our championship for things that had nothing to do with that team or staff and people were really upset. But when we finally won it in 1991 it was madness, and then we kept winning them. Some of the best times ever.

    I just can't believe that The B10 will waive the AAU criteria for FSU and Clemson. Not when UNC and Virginia, who are AAU members, will be available when the ACC breaks up.

    Agreed, although the AAU is equally unethical as the NCAA.

    The AAU may be corrupt but it will take a sinking to a level they have never been to accept these two clown schools. Besides the BIG 10 will have to waive admission to get them in. Can't see that happening. But crazier things have taken place.

    Along with the "Give em Hell Pell" bumperstickers.

    For FSU to move to the B1G next year that deal probably needs to be worked out this summer. And while maybe FSU eventually gets a semi-favorable settlement to leave the ACC, that'll take some time and isn't going to happen in the next 3 months.

    Probably more made up stories being floated by fsu nuts, I guess they think they can will an invitation from the big10 into existence.

    True, how long did it take for tx and OU to join the SEC after the announcements? 2 seasons?
    The more expedient spot for them to get into if they want out of the ACC is to go to the Big 12. But try telling them that.
