Is humbled, winless FSU trying to make peace with ACC? Commentary

Running off at the typewriter. …

Maybe it’s just coincidence this is happening now that Florida State is 0-3, but it sure seems strange that the Seminoles are now reportedly trying to make peace with the ACC.

FSU , of course, has been the ringleader in firing legal salvos at the ACC in an attempt to get out the league’s grant of rights media contract so it presumably could bolt to the SEC, but according to published reports there are now peace talks going on between FSU, Clemson and the ACC.

According to David Hale and Andrea Adelson’s story at ESPN.com : “Talks between Clemson, Florida State and the ACC have ramped up in recent weeks, according to sources, on a proposal that would allot a greater share of revenue to schools based on brand valuation and television ratings, as well as potentially alter the expiration of the league’s grant of rights — which currently runs through 2036 — in exchange for the Tigers and Seminoles dropping their lawsuits against the conference.”
