Report: ACC Insider Believes FSU Football Could Serve Formal Notice For 2025

An ACC insider believes Florida State could make their exit for the 2025 season, and the announcement won't waste any time.

Florida State is ready to make their move from the ACC. That's no secret. There are barriers and hurdles in the program's way, however, making things hard for the school to easily pick their next conference and make the move. 

A move out of the ACC would be an intricate plan and devising it is going to take time. 

There is no deal currently on the table and no solution at this time, sources tell Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde.

"They would not be shocked if the Seminoles serve formal notice of a 2025 move in a matter of days or weeks," Forde writes.

If FSU can find an avenue out of the conference that makes sense financially, it's hard to imagine they don't make the jump as soon as they can. They missed the window to make the move for the 2024 season, so the next window of opportunity for Florida State is the 2025 season.

Earlier this month, Florida State president Richard McCullough said the school would "seriously consider leaving the ACC unless there was a radical change to the revenue distribution."

Despite the top football schools in the conference -- Florida State and Clemson -- carrying the load in bringing numbers to ESPN during football season, the revenue is distributed evenly throughout the conference. 

ESPN's Andrea Adelson drew the point that Florida State and Boston College will receive the same amount of money, even with FSU making the much larger contribution. The ACC is roughly $30 million per year in TV money behind the SEC and Big Ten. 

The message has been sent from FSU to the ACC. The next course of action would be Florida State making the ACC aware of any plans to exit the conference and find a new home for the 2025 season.

Last season, the Seminoles made a leap back to being one of the best programs in college football, and they don't seem to be going away. The team has high expectations for the upcoming season and Tribe24 is shaping up to be one of the best recruiting classes in the country.

With proper resources, FSU will be able to maintain their rise to the top of college football.
