"Si quieren irse, será su decisión. Pero tienen ciertas obligaciones", dijo Cunningham. "Tenemos una cuota de salida y una concesión de derechos. Creo que la ACC es una gran liga. Ha sido una gran liga durante mucho tiempo. Su frustración por el dinero, a todo el mundo le gustaría tener más dinero y a todo el mundo le gustaría ganar más".
"Quite frankly, I don't think it’s good for our league for them (Florida State) to be out there barking like that," Cunningham continued. "I’d rather see them be a good member of the league, support the league, and if they have to make a decision, then so be it. Pay for the exit fee, wait for your grant of rights that you’ve given, and then in 2036 when those rights return to you, do whatever you want."

"FSU helps to drive value and will drive value for any partner, but we have spent a year trying to understand how we might fix the issue. There are no easy fixes to this challenge, but a group of us have spent literally a year. We've explored every possible option that you can imagine. The issue at hand is: What can we do to allow ourselves to be competitive in football and get what I think is the revenue we deserve?
"This continues to be a very difficult issue. There's a lot going on in the world of conference realignment. My current assessment of the situation, after very deep analysis, is I believe FSU will have to, at some point, consider very seriously leaving the ACC unless there were a radical change to the revenue distribution."

I think that the number of opportunities we can offer, we need to stay strong and have as many opportunities for kids to play and get an education. Those things haven’t changed for me."
