EXPANSION and REALIGNMENT DEADLINE: Florida State and Clemson face August 15 Decision Date for 2025!

Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

It is expansion and realignment season in college football. Florida State and Clemson are suing to get out of the ACC because of their horrible, low-paying media rights deal. Many (Locked on Big 10 included) feel schools like Florida State and Clemson might be a good fit in the Big Ten in the future. While court cases and mediation are taking place, Thursday August 15, 2024 is the deadline for ACC schools to announce whether they plan to leave in time for the 2025 college football season. Such an announcement would lead to another expansion and realignment shakeup in the college football world.
