My guy, are we reading the same thing? That is exactly what is argued. "Florida State alleges that the Grant of Rights, as extended, is also a ‘punitive penalty’ upon a withdrawing member (referring to the ‘additional, crippling penalties’ in the Grant of Rights). But there is no provision in...

Do you know what a penalty is? The GOR is not a penalty, full stop. FSU freely, knowingly, and voluntarily gave their media rights to the ACC until 2036. The ACC has no obligation to return them prior to that point. Refusing to sell is also not a penalty.

Yes, that's why ESPN keeping the ACC and FSU's media rights, even if FSU leaves, makes it a good value vs Vandy which is a bad value. And if the SEC had a GOR and Vandy wanted to leave, they could almost certainly buy their media rights back for less than the yearly payout because it benefits...

The value of any media rights is based on number of customers. FSU would be playing schools with larger fanbases and thus have more viewers. Ad space during those games is now worth more. Agreed we don't know the details of the option, I'm working off the premise that I believe FSU has...

This scenario doesn't make sense. If FSU just leaves the conference, their media rights still belong to the ACC via GOR, and by extension ESPN. Assuming they move to the SEC or Big 10, their games become even more valuable, yet ESPN would still be getting them at the ACC price, so it would be...

The ACC cannot prevent FSU from trying to buy back its media rights, but nobody is saying that, except you as a strawman to argue against. FSU can throw out numbers all day to see if the ACC will bite, what's being argued is that the ACC has no obligation to accept an offer.

I think more than half of my meals have been free in the last 6 months because they were delivered so late. Ordering a pizza directly from the source is usually just as easy, probably cheaper, and faster to deliver than dealing with ubereats.

What does whether a donation is deductible have to do with Bobby Dodd's grass? How did we get here?

Shocker, Jalen Carter shows that "great character" again by threatening to kill another NFL player and his kids.

My original comment was not about hiring people from Tech, it was about the current/recent student population's value of Tech football, I just referenced someone I interviewed. You brought up the outlier phd student. "Student Demographics - All" means not just undergrad. That data is directly...

And yet your first response to my initial comment was about a phd student... 8.8% is still a significant portion of the undergrad student population, other schools having a higher percentage doesn't change that. Also should probably check your numbers - just looking at your first pick of USC...

The campus population is not just undergrads and the grad percentage is far higher, but either way that is not an insignificant portion. For comparison, uga has 4.4% of their total students as international. Of the 6000+ freshman they have coming, only 84 are from outside the US.

I'm not sure how you can say it's no worse at Tech than anywhere else while simultaneously excluding the international students, they are a significant portion of the campus population. If you don't think the average Tech student is nerdier and thus less likely to be interested in athletics than...

That group exists as well, but I'm more talking about the portion of alumni who don't have any interest in football, which is a significant chunk. I interviewed a recent Tech grad the other week who was the stereotypical Tech nerd - very smart, and very into things like cosplay and DragonCon. I...

I would bet the average GT grad is more able to donate/able to donate more than the average FSU grad, but the average GT grad doesn't care much about GT football success and thus is not going to donate. Having wealthy alumni only matters if they are interested in what you are selling. The total...

This is the Georgia Tech football forum, talk about baseball somewhere else.

I must be having amnesia, but I don't remember blocking a bunch of kicks and don't think I knew Birr was a freshman AA. Either way, would be nice to keep Brumfield around if we can.

I've done that trail a few times and managed to never get pinstripes there, but you are just an inch or two from dragging the whole side of your vehicle if you mess up on a lot of it. I do have a lot of pinstripes on my truck but none are through the paint, amd I know I'll get more so it's not a...

They would have that issue regardless of how much money they have to pay to leave. FSU does not, at least publically, have an offer to join any other conference, and it's debatable whether they would even get one from a better financed conference seeing as they are combative towards their own...
