Why Didn't FSU Go To The SEC

[Stephen A Smith]

Gators said no way, but the real kicker would be they bring ZERO new media markets to present to advertisers and networks for broadcasting deals. UF and FSU are big in the same places. They really offer the SEC nothing financially. Mizzou offered Kansas City and St Louis markets. A&M bring all of East TX tv markets, esp Houston, and USCjr offered the Carolinas tv viewers, and Arkansas has Little Rock.

UF didn't say no. Bowden said no.

In what way has A&M surpassed Texas? Spending way too much for a coach? Did you miss the LSU-A&M game?

Prestige and image wise Texas has taken a huge hit in the past decade. Imagine if Vandy or Memphis were even in the conversation for who’s the best in the state, that’s where Texas is now.

Was it because Bobby wanted the easy schedule every year? I saw an interview with him and he said the SEC didn't want them. Comments.

Their AD is actually asking boosters for a one time 20% donation to fund a coaching search?? Whats up with that? Don't have SEC or B1G money?

Yes. Bobby and I quote. “SEC has players at every level so potential of losing a game it’s there every week. ACC he felt like he had superior talent and even on good off days they could win”.
