[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1009922, member: 2426"] To believe that it is exactly what you think it is, you have to believe FSU's characterization 100%. Their legal filing does contain things that are not 100% unbiased. I guarantee you there is no chart in the ESPN agreement that is blank at the bottom and contains the words - nothing unless ESPN exercises a unilateral option, yet that is presented in the FSU filing as part of the contract. If the option is so easy to verify, please read the ESPN contract and verify it. Oh, you can't because it isn't available to the public. Lawyers are not supposed to include facts in their filings that they know to be false. However, they can include characterizations that push the boundaries of credibility. The client can include only people with partial information in filing the lawsuit with the intent that some of the information might not be accurate. There are ways that the characterization that FSU put in their filing can get there and not cause legal problems for the lawyers. I have no belief that no such option exists. However, I also have no belief that such an option does exist. I have not seen anything that leads me to actually believe one way or the other. I highly suspect that the only way the public is ever going to know is IF there is such an option AND ESPN drops the ACC. ESPN continuing with the ACC will not prove anything about it. ESPN dropping the ACCN, but keeping the ACC doesn't prove that no such option ever existed. It disturbs me that so many people believe it to be true based on one filing by FSU. My aversion isn't necessarily about the FSU situation, but about the public in general. Truth is no longer dependent on actual facts. Somebody posts something on Tik Tok, it goes viral, and it is the truth. It doesn't matter whether it actually is true, the public just buys into things hook, line, and sinker without any skepticism at all. In this case, FSU put that in their original filing. There hasn't been any supporting evidence for it. There hasn't been any criticism of it. People just simply accept it as a fact, even though they have no actual evidence of it one way or the other.
