Florida State sues to get out of ACC, marking beginning of end of ACC conference

I always figured the ACC would be next to fall (although I admit I thought the big 12 would fall before the PAC 12).

Should be interesting to see who SEC takes - Duke might be left SOL

II. Try to win a gold medal in the 2028 Summer Olympics (in any event of your choice).
III. Try to win the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing in 2025.

I'm guessing Olympics gold will top Kentucky blue on the poll, but I could be completely wrong, because:
