[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 999649, member: 2426"] One thing that I pointed out after first reading the FSU complaint is that they have filed a legal brief in which they explicitly state that the value of the media rights is $429 million. I would agree that from a negotiation standpoint, the ACC can ask for more. In fact, they could ask for $10 billion if they so choose. FSU could offer $1. A negotiated settlement does not have to occur if the parties can't come to an agreement. However, if FSU wants to try to reduce that number legally they appear to have shot themselves in the foot. The ACC can claim that the rights are worth more, but FSU will have issues trying to claim that the legal value is less because they have already claimed in signed legal filings that it is worth at least $429 million. Some on here believe that I simply try to bash FSU every chance I get. That isn't the case. The original FSU filing is very messy. It contradicts itself. It contains some claims that negate other claims. In the case of the media value, it has already set the minimum amount to repurchase their media rights at a figure higher than what they would be willing to pay for it. Once again, I am not a lawyer, but I think most lawyers would try to avoid saying things in a lawsuit filing that they would not want to have admitted into court. Especially so if it is the original filing in a lawsuit in which you are the plaintiff. [/QUOTE]
