[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 999672, member: 2426"] Well, you are finally understanding the difference between the bylaws and the GOR. A team [B]can [/B]leave the conference without their media rights. It is explicit in the GOR document that the media rights assignment survives withdrawal from the conference. What you are saying, without the hyperbole, is that is isn't economically feasible to leave the conference without retrieving your media rights. FSU understood this and applauded it back in 2013. FSU signed the agreement and was happy with it when they signed it. They weren't displeased until the last couple of years. You can't erase a signed contract just because you aren't happy 10 years into the contract. If contracts can be invalidated simply because one party is no longer happy with it, then contracts in general would be meaningless. The way you use words and phrase things is affecting your ability to see what is actually happening. The ACC constitution and bylaws govern how a member school can leave the conference. You keep using "give up media rights". All ACC members have already "given up their media rights". The ACC owns those media rights until 2036, full stop. A school that wishes to withdraw can [B]attempt [/B]to purchase their media rights back, but there is no legal or contractual obligation for the ACC to sell them. And once again, FSU knew this, and they knew the consequences of this when they signed the document. Their own BOT was publicly touting the fact that it would make it financially difficult for any member to leave the conference. [/QUOTE]
