Wiedmer: FSU checks out Big 12 – really?

Poor Florida State. The Seminoles aren’t feeling the love they thought they’d receive from the Atlantic Coast Conference when they joined America’s Cockiest Conference back in 1991.

Duh.

FSU is a just-win-baby football school stuck in an image-is-everything basketball league. To make it worse, it’s been seven years since the ‘Noles have won the league they were supposed to dominate.

In fact, over the last 10 seasons FSU football has averaged more than four losses a year, has had 12 victories officially stripped for academic wrongdoings and now is running more than $2 million in the red each year as an athletic department.

Heck, the ACC had two schools in BCS bowls last season, and neither of them was FSU.
