[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 999857, member: 282"] Washington State and Oregon State are good examples. They were two of the better teams in the PAC 12 last season, and they’re out in the cold for next season. A lot of teams like us could be in the same boat. Speaking of boats, the ACC seems like a lot of teams that are in a lifeboat, and they’re willing and lean towards pushing their co-passengers right over the side, instead of bailing and plugging leaks. ——- Back to the original thread [LIST] [*]FSU leaving but not taking their media rights with them is like selling a house in Oklahoma with an oil well in the back, but not owning the mineral rights—the house is a ton less valuable. That happens in real life. If it holds for FSU, their value is a lot less—it just is. [*]FSU can leave, but the argument is that it’s financially stupid. That happens in business. [*]That something is financially brutal doesn’t mean it’s an invalid contract. Fifteen years ago, many people owed more on their houses than they were worth.
