SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey Criticizes Florida State Football at SEC Media Day
Greg Sankey Isn’t Interested in Florida State Joining the SEC
Conference realignment in college football has been a hot topic, with many teams switching conferences to gain national relevance and more resources.
At ChopChat, we’ve covered Florida State’s dissatisfaction with their current situation. There are numerous rumors about the Seminoles possibly moving to the SEC, Big Ten, or even the Big 12. However, it’s important to be cautious of offseason rumors, as some may be seeking attention with bold claims.
That said, Florida State does indeed want to leave the ACC. The program is currently involved in a lawsuit with the conference, and such legal battles, especially those involving millions of dollars, take time to resolve.
Florida State has shown interest in the SEC and Big Ten due to their success in acquiring resources and winning national championships. However, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey recently commented on the idea of the Seminoles joining the SEC. Here’s what he said:
Given Florida State’s lawsuit, Sankey’s stance isn’t surprising. The SEC has already added Texas and Oklahoma, but Florida State would still bring significant attention to an already prestigious group of schools.
Following Sankey’s comments, Bookies.com oddsmaker Adam Thompson released hypothetical odds on potential SEC additions:
– North Carolina (+300)
– Clemson (+350)
– Florida State (+400)
– Virginia (+500)
– Virginia Tech (+600)

Thoughts
I’m trying not to get too caught up in the conference realignment buzz. It’s a dominant topic everywhere. My main focus is on seeing Florida State succeed on the football field and ensuring they have equal opportunities to thrive like other programs.
