[QUOTE="CEB, post: 1009779, member: 4905"] Actually I think the language that says it lives on is stronger than the language that suggests it goes away when / if ESPN goes. It explicitly says the Term is 2036. “Term” is capitalized and defined per the agreement. It’s very cut and dried. DURING that Term, the members are obligated to fulfill duties as described in the ESPN agreement. The ESPN agreement spells out obligations but the absence of it does not modify the Term. FSU argue that once the agreement that outlines their obligations is gone, so are their obligations. It’s a good argument (better than any other they’ve made so far), but not an absolute one. The bylaws you posted and specifically the paragraphs you cited earlier are interesting to me because even if the ACC successfully argues that 2036 means 2036, if they can’t find a deal that 2/3 of members approve, there is little point in hiding behind the GOR any longer and it will bring everyone to the table. It gets interesting if teams announce their intent to leave and consequently lose their vote… the bar to 2/3 approval lowers with each announced departure [/QUOTE]
