A Brief History of Seminole Conference Hopping (Well, Not Exactly Hopping...)
Back in the day, before the age of mega-conferences and television deals the size of Texas, Florida State, like many a college program, found itself competing as an independent. Fancy, right? They were basically conference free agents, calling their own shots (well, within reason). But then, in 1991, something historic happened: Florida State joined the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). This was a big deal, folks! The ACC is a powerhouse conference, known for its top-notch athletics across the board.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
So, there you have it. Since 1991, Florida State has been a proud member of the ACC. They've even gone on to win a bunch of conference titles and national championships while they were at it. Those Seminoles sure know how to compete!
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
