Thats really all that we have to go off of. If big name lawyers are willing to put the following in a complaint: Then I am going to take that at somewhat face value. Assuming they aren't trying to get disbarred. If we are going to assume that everything in the complaint is a lie then there is...

This is like being stuck in a hut on an island with starving lions surrounding the outside. Sure, you are free to leave anytime you want. Assuming you don't care about existing.

How much guaranteed money will the ACC make in 2028? When the original GOR was signed what was the guaranteed amount of money the ACC network would make?

FSU cannot go to another conference without their media rights. Even the Sun Belt wouldn't accept them. The ACC either has to allow them to reclaim their rights in some way or block them from leaving the conference. You would say this isn't true?

We are saying the same thing. I was saying if the ACC attempted to block FSU from leaving by not accepting anything for its media rights then they would essentially be holding FSU in the conference against their will. I don't think the ACC will do this. Therefore, whatever magic number...

He sold a catalog of already created music for over $300 million dollars. What Sony sells it for later doesn't matter at all to him. In the case of FSU, they put a certain amount of trust in the ACC to sell their product in the future. Their was no guaranteed money up front. They had to trust...

Lets say ESPN walks away from the ACC media deal in 2027. The ACC decides not to have a deal at all. Everyone gets nothing. Do you think their is no legal recourse from members of the ACC? They just have to accept that?

Well, yeah, but he already got that money. Had he signed an agreement just for Sony to sell his music and they just decided to sell CDs out of a van behind a 7-Eleven making him 50 bucks a week then he probably has legal recourse to end that deal. The ACC has a fiduciary responsibility. They...

Just curiously, do you think the team at Greenberg Traurig is a bunch of incompetent fanboys?

What does not negotiate the GOR mean in this case? That they won't negotiate down from the projected value (429 million) or they won't even allow FSU to purchase their rights back? If they won't allow FSU to purchase their rights back then negotiating the exit fee is pointless because it's...

Nobody is saying there is an exit fee with your media rights. But unless you believe that the ACC will refuse to sell back media rights then there is going to be some kind of settlement or court ruling on the actual cost of those rights. If the ACC did refuse to sell the media rights back to...

I don't have a basic misunderstanding of the GOR. What I have is a misunderstanding of the actual cost of buying back media rights. That number is important for several reasons. FSU presented their interpretation of that cost. The guy in this article calls BS on that number yet offers nothing in...

Then what is the correct amount to assign to the media rights? Or is the argument that FSU is stuck here until 2036 because the ACC can just refuse to even let them pay a penalty for that? Also, I have probably read at least 10 articles from lawyers on the FSU/ACC debacle, and none have...

He got fired mostly because of issues with people in the organization. No one with common sense is usually going to fire a coach after a 10-6 year with a playoff victory even if they do make some questionable personnel changes. Since he was fired in 2020, the Texans have hired three more head...

It's obviously on the other side of the biased spectrum discussed earlier. It's an interesting approach though. He bases most of his argument on copyright law and intellectual property which I haven't really seen argued anywhere before. I have no idea if its a valid argument or not. One most...

BOB is a good coach. That would be a great hire if BC can make that happen.

If you look at week by week TV networks the ACC only gets 3-4 ESPN/ESPN2/ABC games per week now. Most of those are Thursday/Friday night games, and the ones that aren't usually involve Clemson, FSU, or Notre Dame. If Clemson and FSU were to leave the ACC and the SEC claims two of those time...

Speaking in terms of football only, ESPN already offloads a large number of ACC games onto the ACC network and their third party deal that currently shows games on the CW. If ESPN decides as a business they aren't interested in moving forward with the ACC network, and they aren't showing the...

They do have more SEC games to show. Two new big name teams are joining the SEC and ESPN now has all rights to the SEC. That 3:30 SEC timeslot that used to go to CBS is now an ESPN time slot. This will pretty heavily affect the ACC next year as well. Getting good Saturday time slots on...

CBS doesn't have room for that much content, nor are they going to open up weekday time slots for content. They could but a slot every Saturday at noon if they wanted to expand a little. Fox probably has more room but I have no clue what their desire would be considering they already have the...
