[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1000188, member: 2426"] Or the "option" claimed in the FSU filing isn't as onerous as the filing makes it out to be. We haven't seen the ESPN contract to read what "option" actually exists. To me the reading of that phrase is not extremely clear. Is it the agreement itself, or only "the contractual obligations of the Conference expressly set forth" in the agreement? Lawyers would probably be able to decipher that better, and there is probably precedent regarding such language. It might be different depending on which jurisdiction it is litigated in. The FSU filing had a lot of things in it that are misleading. The chart showing no payouts after 2026 is misleading. Any such chart in the ESPN contract would have dollar amounts shown there, instead of being covered up with a statement that there are no guarantees. The ESPN option may exist. That option might be as dire as the FSU filing describes it to be. But it might also be more benign and FSU is using hyperbolic language to over-emphasize their points. I seriously doubt we will ever actually know the truth, unless it is as bad as FSU describes it AND ESPN drops the ACC. Any other outcome and it will probably remain a secret behind and NDA. [/QUOTE]
