[QUOTE="CEB, post: 997899, member: 4905"] The bolded make me think you’re starting with a false premise. You’re accepting the FSU narrative, and it’s flimsy, at best. You’re starting with the notion that FSU is being held captive, against their will, and incurring damages daily. None of that is true. FSU WILLINGLY signed an agreement, and the ACC has every right to enforce that contract / agreement. FWIW, the Big12 did EXACTLY this with Tx and Ok. With one year left on the GOR, Tx and OK paid $50m each to get out of their contractual obligation. If that is our precedent, FSU can likely leave today for $700M ($50m x 12 years plus the exit fee). FSU doesn’t like that (obviously) and they are throwing a tantrum to try to reduce that number. Regardless, two things are true: 1. the contract is legal and enforceable, 2. There is always a number that can have parties mutually agree to dissolve a contract. FSU’s problem right now is that it’s a REALLY BIG number. FSU is not really incurring damages, either. If they could produce an actual invitation from the BIG or SEC that supports the notion that they can start earning more money in those leagues tomorrow, they may have a flimsy assertion that they are being damaged. It doesn’t change the fact that they are an informed and able party to a contract they willingly signed and they need to put on some big boy pants and deal with it. [/QUOTE]
