[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 994710, member: 2426"] I'm sure ESPN isn't happy that FSU is releasing information from the contract that is under an NDA with everyone involved. It goes to my question earlier about where FSU could possibly end up, even if they win this lawsuit and can leave at no cost. ESPN isn't happy. Will Fox welcome someone who releases NDA information? Will the SEC or Big10? They are throwing a tantrum, and that doesn't set you up well to make friends in the future. Another thing to consider is that FSU's characterization of the option might not be accurate. The contract is under an NDA, so ESPN won't reveal what the details actually are, nor will the ACC. It might "feel" like they just can't respond, but that doesn't mean that FSU is describing the contract correctly. FSU knows that neither ESPN nor the ACC will "correct" any mischaracterization of their breaking the NDA, so they can characterize it any way they want to. Is there an "option"? It seems apparent that there is. Is it a "unilateral" option to "walk away" from the contract entirely? That is just FSU's lawyer's description of that the contract says. What if it is an option to extend only the ACCN portion of the contract? That could fit in with the words that FSU filed, but it wouldn't fit in with the interpretation that everyone got from it. I know I sound like a broken record with my skeptical scrutiny of information sources and scrutiny of the actual words that people use, but in this case people are responding to their understanding of FSU's spin on the matter. Many people are only responding to twitter posts about the twitter person's understanding of FSU's spin on the matter. Without seeing the actual ACC-ESPN contract, we probably won't actually know what it says. FSU knows that, and they know that if they release partial information and their spin of that information that it will cause issues with the public, and outrage from their fans. Once again, will the Big10 or SEC invite someone to the conference who has that as their standard operating procedure? [/QUOTE]
