Amid talk that Florida State could kick off another round of college football realignment, would the Gators prevent the Seminoles from joining the SEC?

is moving back into the conversation this offseason after Florida State and Clemson both brought lawsuits against the ACC and its exit fees, ostensibly in an effort to find a way out of the league and into a more profitable situation going forward.

"Whenever we've expanded in the past, the leadership of the league was able to lay out, 'This is why it makes sense to bring in Arkansas and South Carolina; A&M and Missouri; why Texas and OU make sense.'" he said. "If there were ever opportunities out there — and, again, no one has had any conversations — that is the scenario where somebody walks in and says, 'Here's a school, here's what they bring to the table, here's how it makes us all better.' We would be supportive of that."

The school is also located in a state with a prominent media market and that is a fiercely competitive recruiting ground for football programs nationally.
