STATEMENTS BY PRESIDENT AND ATHLETIC DIRECTOR ON ACC EXPANSION

9/1/2023 11:15:00 AM | General, Athletics

Florida State University President Richard McCullough:
"We appreciate the efforts of Commissioner Phillips and our conference partners. There are many complicated factors that led us to vote no. That said, we welcome these truly outstanding institutions and look forward to working with them as our new partners in the Atlantic Coast Conference."

FSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford:
"All three schools are outstanding academic and athletic institutions, and our vote against expansion does not reflect on their quality.

We look forward to earning new revenue through the ACC's success incentives initiative, based on our continued excellence. We're grateful to the league for continuing to listen to our concerns.

This is a process that is ongoing, and we will continue working with Commissioner Phillips and our conference partners on the success initiatives and revenue-sharing plans."
