[QUOTE="CEB, post: 998537, member: 4905"] I agree with all you’ve said, with one point of clarification (or maybe a point of disagreement… or maybe just a point TBD)… FSU is wrong if they are pushing that 2027 is an expiration date. It’s not… unless ESPN determines that it is by refusing the option. If ESPN takes the option, the contract is unchanged and uninterrupted and the GOR thru 2036 is going to hold. However, if ESPN refuses the option (I believe that this is a long shot and that ESPN will likely extend), then the ACC / ESPN deal is done. THAT is where FSU and others could have an argument. The GOR says that it is in force through 2036 AND it says that it is for the purpose of fulfilling the obligations of the ESPN agreement, specifically. The part about the ESPN agreement may have just been a point of clarification and not a indication that the GOR exists solely and only for the ESPN deal, but there will be an argument that since the referenced agreement is terminated, the GOR has served its purpose and is void. There will be an opposing argument from the ACC that 2036 is the term of GOR and that the intent was not to tie GOR specifically to ESPN agreement. Therefore the ACC can shop the media rights of its members to anyone else through 2036. All of that is moot if ESPN extends to 2036, which I think they will. BUT, it will be interesting if they don’t. [/QUOTE]
