[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 995529, member: 2426"] The only thing we know about the ESPN option is what FSU filed in the lawsuit. That is probably a version of the option that is spun in a way to make FSU's pleading appear most favorably. Do you know what the option actually is? Do you know that ESPN actually has an option to completely walk away from the contract? Do you know that it isn't actually an option to increase the payouts, but ESPN has to unilaterally decide that? Does anyone who is publicly speaking about it know any of that? Lawyers don't typically include things in pleadings that they know to be false. However, sometimes lawyers get information from their client and don't push for exact details so that they can make the pleading as convincing as possible. We do not know what the ESPN contract actually says. We do not know that ESPN can just walk away. Too many people are putting too much faith in what FSU is spinning. It might be true. However, I have very little trust in FSU's lawyers, and will need some level of confirmation before I just accept what they say. Who is stable and who isn't? A few years ago, people were predicting the end of the ACC because it was the worst P5 conference and the most unstable. The Pac12 was looked at as a very stable conference. The Pac12 went under. The ACC makes more money per school from media than the Big12, but people still look at the Big12 as the more stable conference. The powerhouse teams from the Big12 have all left, but people still look at it as the more stable conference. I don't think there is any measure, except internet opinion, that the Big12 is the better conference. [/QUOTE]
