The $$ ( amount, increasing, decreasing ) of my clients determined what happened way more than the det a ils of our giant contract written years ago.I’m not informed enough on this topic to be sure that I understand the full implications of what you are saying but it brings to mind the FSU and Clemson law suits.
Do you think FSU and Clemson were cognizant all along of larger sea changes and does this make their lawsuits more efficacious?
Now, imo, espn loves sec and is so so about the acc. But about the acc, I think espn wants to be close friends w Clemson and fsu who have internally generated lots of dollars to match thier cheap accn equal shared. Espn loves what they have done for accn and most important sees them as a solid piece for future tv deals. Espn is thinking 10 years out as well as now.
Imo, the lawsuit stuff is a necessary step to frame the agreement that will be reached. Imo, discussion, thru third parties , are on going.
FOR GT, I could live w a short term acc that got rid of wake and bc but added bigger named California and $$ up Smu.
Actually , i think a 1 year wind down period w schedule and payment set would force schools to count costs and self select based on need verses ability to accelerate internal $$.
I am biased ( please dont kill me ) but imo, the former person was right, when he brashly declared Gt is a sleeping giant. Given a year where we can keep improving our presntation of gt's renewed commitment to ' "gt lets roll athletics located in Atlanta, we will end up in a good place. The presentstion is for Fox, networks, Apple, etc.

Gt is a legendary football program, and besides, it has the most beautiful football uniforms and mascot.
