North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham said that Florida State's 'barking' about potentially leaving the ACC is not good for the conference.
"Our goal would be to continue to stay in the ACC, but staying in the ACC under the current situation is hard for us to figure out how we remain competitive unless there were a major change in the revenue distribution within the conference," McCullough said, per ESPN."That has not happened. Those discussions are ongoing at all times.
Florida State Seminoles fans cheer behind a Noles logo during a college football game against the Florida Gators. "FSU helps to drive value and will drive value for any partner, but we have spent a year trying to understand how we might fix the issue. There are no easy fixes to this challenge, but a group of us have spent literally a year. We've explored every possible option that you can imagine.
"This continues to be a very difficult issue. There's a lot going on in the world of conference realignment. My current assessment of the situation, after very deep analysis, is I believe FSU will have to, at some point, consider very seriously leaving the ACC unless there were a radical change to the revenue distribution."
