I'm not sure ESPN is as in love with the ACC as everyone seems to think. They have chosen not to exercise their 2027 option up to this point. If FSU were to leave the ACC and possibly others then ESPN can simply not exercise that option and scoop up the remains of the ACC at a lesser rate while...

If bias is completely devoid of opinion then I guess I will agree with you. Saying the ACC is going to implode if FSU were to get out is an opinion, shared by many but it is an opinion at this point. If that is what you are fixated on in a fairly long article going over many things then I guess...

Wow. So edgy.

Which parts of the article do you personally find really biased?

I don't think you did read the article if that is your response. No where in the article did they give opinions or take any stances on any of the legal matters. They only summarized them. I guess that made you angry for some reason? Of course it is somewhat framed from FSU's perspective. It is...

I thought the article did a decent job of showing FSU's side of the argument with their recent amendment and I thought their break down of TV viewership for FSU vs other ACC teams was pretty interesting. FSU being in 12 of the 17 ACC games that got over 5 million viewers since 2012 was pretty...

My biggest problem with the champion analysis is that nearly every year there are only 5-6 schools who are even competing for a championship. Yes those schools recruit well. They also spend more money than other schools, bring in more money than other schools, have the best coaches available...

Pretty interesting article on FSU's latest amendment and some details of FSU's TV value compared to the rest of the conference...

I share streaming services with a family member. They mooch off of my Disney and HBO. I mooch off of their Youtube TV. Frankly, I don't think I know anyone anymore with a traditional cable subscription that is under the age of 60.

There is other data to support the opposite. It's a bit of a pointless argument.

I was talking about any team moving from being in a conference to independent. Notre Dame obviously already has media partners and have handled the scheduling difficulties for years now, with high quality yearly games built in. No one else is in that position. Even if Alabama decided to be...

Probably worth noting that 10 million people watched Oregon play Colorado. The third highest TV viewers of any game this season.

Independent vs in a conference isn't a direct comparison. FSU as a Big 10 member with promised big games against Ohio St, Michigan, Penn St, etc. is a valuable add on that the Big 10 can sell to media partners. FSU as an independent has to come up with their own schedule against god knows who...

It goes towards the fiduciary responsibility argument made in their original claim. Plenty of people here and elsewhere have made the same argument against Swofford only now its in legal form. Will it make a difference? I have no idea. But it puts more pressure on the ACC as every bit of...

No. FSU isn't going to get a $40 million dollar contract as an independent. No team in college football could. But they were the 9th most watched team in college football this year. Over the last 8 years they are among the top 18 most watched teams even with some down years. They are by far the...

The strategy makes sense if one, they already have an agreement in secret with one of these two conferences (likely in my opinion), or two, they don't have an agreement but are extremely confident they can get one. The second has risk obviously, but the risk is probably worth taking. FSU was the...

Im not sure what you guys are confused about. Their end game is to get out of the ACC as soon as possible for as cheap as possible and join either the SEC or the Big 10. What other goal would you think they have?

FSU has amended their lawsuit. They are going after Swofford now. https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-state-seminoles/news/fsu-takes-aim-at-former-acc-commissioner-john-swofford-in-amended-complaint/

I tend to agree that they were a little overrated but they went 9-4 and won their bowl game by 35 points. Im not sure I would call them a cupcake.

Going into our game they had played #12 Missouri, #9 Ole Miss, and #18 Tennessee in consecutive weeks. We were fortunate that they didn't have their customary cupcake game the week before us this year.
