[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 997900, member: 2426"] IF that is even possible, and IF that actually happens, at that point there will be an actual legal argument to make. However, there is also a pretty strong legal argument to counter that. It all depends on how the court interprets "all rights (the "Rights") necessary for the Conference to perform the contractual obligations of the Conference expressly set forth in the ESPN Agreement". Does that mean that the ESPN contract is required to enforce the GOR, or is that only referring to the obligations listed in a potential contract. I am not a lawyer and don't know what laws and court precedents would be used to determine that. Go back once again to the statement from an FSU BOT member in 2013 -- “I was in concert with President Barron that this was the best thing that could happen... It ensures that we don’t lose any members. Nobody can afford to leave now.”. FSU knew how restrictive the GOR contract was, and what it meant for the future of FSU sports. They signed it with full knowledge of the impact. Every ACC member did. There is a reason that Texas, who has much more money than FSU did not fight the Big12 GOR. They were waiting for the end of the GOR, and then reached a settlement for the last year of it. [/QUOTE]
