Looks like the ACC payout starting to hit FSU hard. There are rumors FSU is cutting it's athletic (and football budget), while SEC/B1G are growing theirs.
Not good for the future of FSU football.
One note on this subject often ignored (Clemson funds football first and what is left is left. FSU has tried to make it all work and instead has hurt football which hurts everybody):
"
Clemson's way of handling it was to drop men's and women's swimming and diving about four years ago. They added women's softball this year but the net is Clemson has fewer sports (17) than FSU (20)."
Given the current situation, I think all ACC schools must follow Clemson on this. Not enough money to compete in EVERY sport, so focus on the ones that give a financial return - makes sense!
