[QUOTE="CEB, post: 1003944, member: 4905"] What you are describing would take place in a HEAVY negotiation, if not outright court battle. Also, it IS NOT within the rights of FSU or Clemson or anyone who is party to the GOR to either sign or refuse to sign any contract… better or worse. They have no rights to their media until 2036, so the contract to be signed is at the discretion of the ACC, who controls those media rights… NOT the individual members. For a time, I had also convinced myself that IF the option described by FSU is correct, and IF ESPN indeed decided to reject it, the GOR could be challenged because of it’s multiple references to the “ESPN Agreement.” I reread the GOR again today and I no longer believe that. There are absolutely multiple references to the “ESPN Agreement” in the GOR, but all of them seem to be illustrative of the access / participation required by each member institution. There is absolutely zero ambiguity in the paragraph regarding “Term” of the GOR, and that paragraph makes no reference at all to the “ESPN Agreement.” It states a date certain in 2036 (again, assuming the current GOR is the same as the 2013 version we have all seen) [/QUOTE]
