College football is undergoing a significant transformative change. The current period is proving to be a tumultuous one for the Florida State Seminoles. The football side is branching out from the ACC and has been wanting to do so for quite some time now. However, the team is intertwined in a legal battle regarding their grants of rights deal.

As per the latest information revealed by the CFB insider, the team might not wait until the final legal decision to walk out of the ACC. With the reports coming in earlier today, the Seminoles might opt out of the ACC by the end of January 2024. This is some shocking bit of news coming in the new year that could launch a sporting revolution in college football. These could be trying times for Mike Norvell and co. as they lose patience with the legal battle.

Mike Norvell’s FSU ready to move out of ACC by the end of January

The New Year has brought certain bad news for the Atheltic Coast Conference. One of their teams is exiting the same by this month. There have been ongoing issues between the Seminoles and the ACC regarding granting of rights deal and FSU is losing patience. As reported by a CFB Insider in his latest tweet on the X platform, FSU could walk out sooner rather than later.

The earlier buyout was expected to be $527 million but will be way too less than this stipulated amount. The sole reason is that the ACC TV Contract was expected to expire by 2036 but now would be expiring in 2027. This will also reduce the amounts paid by FSU as part of the exit fee for their decision. For now, FSU is done with the ACC and will be seeking an eye out for other places.

Where to next for the Seminoles?

The last few months have been a rollercoaster for the FSU. They were denied a playoff berth since one of their main QBs got injured. This gave the Alabama Crimson Tide a controversial entrance into the 2023 playoffs. Now, with them moving out of the ACC, they could still head to three different places.

For now, the pundits believe that the FSU can head to three different places. The Seminoles can either head to Big Ten, Big 12, or the SEC. Furthermore, FSU is one of the big programs, and these conferences would be looking to encash in on the opportunity.

Some trying times lie ahead in the ACC for the Mike Norvell side and college football.
